NovaPolaris Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) There's a regeration effect I'm trying to make for a mod I'm working on, but I'm new to scripting for Fallout 3 and would like some help or guidance. If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. What I'm trying to make is an effect (or effects) given by a perk that can be acquired in the mod, as part of the story for a location the mod will add. The effect provides a fair but improved regeneration effect compared to Solar Powered, which is active constantly and not time-dependent. It will slowly heal body parts, but will take longer to fix crippling. What should I be doing in the script editor (or elsewhere) to get these effects in a perk-based setup? Also, what would be fair values for the HP and body part regen rates? I won't exactly have it at Wolverine level, but I don't want it to be as miniscule as the effect from Solar Powered. Especially since the perk involves nanotechnology. Edited May 22, 2015 by SpacemanFive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praxus9 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi SpacemanFive. Are you sure that we aren't working on the same mod? :) If I understand you correctly, you want your character to persistently heal yourself through no other outside influence. Not a problem; I'm doing that in my own mod. I have no idea of how fluent you are with using the GECK (I'm no master, either - If anyone can solve the riddle of getting heterochromatic eyes in Fallout 3 for me, I'd be a happier guy) so here's the short version: 1). Create the ability of regeneration (Game Effects -> Actor Effect -> Ability)2). Create a perk that is attached to that ability (Actor Data -> Perk) There's no "scripting" required for something like this; Everything that you described can be done without creating an actual script. Good luck with your mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaPolaris Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Oh, okay. Thanks, I'll check that out. Sorry for the late reply. I'm still wondering how to handle the limb healing portion of the effect, though. I don't want crippled parts to be fixed instantly, but I do want the effect to fix them eventually.

NovaPolaris Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Okay, I tested it out. However, when I was looking in the GECK, what was listed as "Regeneration" is actually the regeneration effect for Solar Powered, which runs off a script that's conditional to being outdoors and under sunlight. There seems to be no other regen effect that I can find anywhere outside of scripts. I've since been trying to learn scripting so that I can actually make the effect I want myself. There's the passive regen, but there's also body part healing. Still not sure if I should just have crippled limbs heal automatically or after a period of time. Edit: Dang. Just noticed Operation Anchorage has a cut item which seems to do what I want. I'll take a peek at the script for it to see how it works so I can reverse-engineer it.
