I'm not walking you through on how to attach this. You'll have to learn on your own.

 

This script is intended to work as an ability type spell.

 

I'll give you links to help you through setting this up.

That won't work if the player dies before the hp is restored :D.

So far, iv'e managed to take no damage when blocking through use of a perk, which modifies incoming damage by 0. I've made it so it takes things like incoming arrows, spells, dragon shouts, hazards, etc. into consideration, using the conditions tab, so those type of attacks will ignore the "modify incoming damage" effect.

 

Only problem with this method is that against melee attacks, you could get hit from the side or from behind and still won't take damage.

 

Also having trouble with poisons that AREN'T spit at you, by a chorus or spider. If a melee weapon has a poison on it then it will just bypass through any blocking

 

And just to be clear I only need to make it so that NPCs can block without taking damage. For the player just use Skytweak.

That script doesn't work.

 

(17,37): no viable alternative at input "HealthBeforeBlock - HealthAfterBlock"

If only more people knew the wonders SkyTweak can do...

I know 1 guy mentioned skyTweak max resistance, but if you scroll to the bottom of the combat page in skyTweak there are two sliders, 1 for weapon blocking and the other for shield blocking, I put mine at .95 and found blocking to be much more effective but doesn't break the game like the max resistance does. It is also still not so overpowered that you just need to stand there and hold down block. I also saw your post that you didn't really know what skyTweak was, i highly, highly recommend you get it, it allows you to custom tailor your game experience so much that some mods become nearly useless.
