I am trying to use movement direction with an 'If' function, as in: Event OnAnimationEvent(ObjectReference akSource, string asEventName) if (akSource == PlayerRef) && (asEventName == "attackWinStart") if PlayerRef.getMovementDirection() == 3 but getMovementDirection is not compiling. I tried isMoving, and other variations with combos of get, has, is, move, moving, direction. No luck so far. Any idea on what it might be?

Another condition as well ... your opponent needs to be wielding a 2H weapon as well (maybe even no weapon or just one in the left hand as well ... have not tested against such an opponent though)

While wielding a 2H weapon (or no weapon, or just one weapon in the left hand), I seem to be almost immune to stagger (e.g enemy power attacks with 2H weapons don't cause staggering ... just some camera wobble if in 1st person). I cannot help but think this is a bug, but I would like to know if others experience this as well (or even better, ff it is a known issue with a fix). I only have a few cosmetic mods active at the moment, so nothing should be affecting combat in any way. But before I go through a trial and error series of disabling mods one at a time to see if one of them is causing this, I figured to ask around.

I have look around extensively - searching these forums, UESPWiki, over 10 pages worth of googled links for 'Skyrim Stagger', and more - and I have not found anything which outlines the formula for determining the circumstances under which a stagger occurs, nor the severity of the stagger. I am not talking about the magic effect 'Stagger', but the inherent effect of melee weapons (though I am interested in the magic effect as well). Here is what I have so far come across in my testings: ----- Stagger on weapons (ranging from 0 on daggers to 1.25 on warhammers) effects severity. A warhammer with a stagger rating of 1.25 always severely staggered an opponent with a power attack ('severe' meaning knees buckled and a few steps back). When reduced to .5, the warhammer made the opponent stumble a bit. At 0 there was barely any stagger effect for a power attack. ----- Mass affects resistance to stagger After raising mass in the Race category from 1 to 100, the opponent was barely, if at all, effected by stagger from a warhammer powerattack. Similarly, by raising fStaggerMassBase to 100 in the game settings, or by setting fStaggerMassBase to 1 and increasing the fStaggerMassMult to 100, the opponent seemed immune to stagger. fStaggerPlayerMassMult had the same effect for the player. ----- fStaggerShieldMult affect stagger severity If shield bashing to interrupt, no noticeable difference. But, if shield bashing after the opponent completed their attack motion, a value of 0 resulted in no noticeable stagger, while higher number resulted in severe stagger. ----- fStagger1WeapAR (and Mult), fStagger2WeapAR (and Mult), fStaggerAttackBase (and Mult) I could not notice a difference when playing with these settings. Values ranging from 0 to 1000 had no noticeable impact. ----- Low Stamina and successive attacks do not seem to matter I read somewhere that if an opponent is low on stamina and/or is hit by many attacks in a row, they are more prone to stagger. I placed an opponent before me that had 37 stamina (quickly reduced to 0 after he powerattacked). He staggered no more or less than the same actor with 5000 stamina. Repeatedly hitting an opponent (37 stamina or 5000) with a warhammer (normal attacks) had no stagger effect. This was done in conjunction with adjusting skill in Two Handed Weapons from 1 to 100. Nothing seemed to matter. I have so far not played around with the fStaggerBlock settings, nor fStaggerRunningMult. fStaggerRecoilingMult didn't show me much, but I only toyed around with once. The same goes for fStaggerAttackChance. These tests are by no means conclusive, nor even definitively accurate. It is simply what I have noticed so far. Please reply with any data or comments that will correct or add to what I have so far presented.

Where in the CK are you able to modify/add/delete the conditions under which certain sounds are triggered? For example, the critical sound effect (i.e sneak attack sound) is apparently a UI sound effect, not a sound triggered by your weapon (i.e impact sounds). Where in the CK do you control these sounds?

I guess scripts are the way to go , but I don't know what I am doing when it comes to scripting. Thankfully, I am able to get the effect I want via the method I have mentioned, though. Thanks for the input, however. Saves me from going crazy trying to figure out the impossible.

I did try it and it seemed to have the result I posted earlier (it was read as 'A and B and (C or A) and D and E and F'). There was an issue with a previous save overriding certain changes I was making to my esp, so it is possible this would have worked. But I doubt it. I did plenty of trials before coming here to ask and nothing worked. If I didn't use my workaround (2 or more effects listed, each with different conditions), then I would try it again. But I got it working and I don't want to screw around with it. Thanks for the input though.

For example, we know that taking damage while wearing heavy armor will increase your skill in Heavy Armor. But where in the CK is that determined? I have plans to toy around with merging some skills (e.g Alchemy and Enchanting), much the same way Pickpocketing and Locking picking were merged in SkyRe. But I don't know how to edit what events affect certain skills and which do not.

Is that for writing a script or using the Condition window in the CK? I am looking for the latter. The way I interpret what you wrote as appearing in the CK is like this: Condition A = True AND Condition B = True AND Condition C = True OR Condition A = True AND Condition D = True AND Condition E = True AND Condition F = True AND Is this the order of Condition Items you are suggesting I place in the Conditions section of the Effect Item window? If so, I do not think it will work. This order simply asks for A and B and (C or A) and D and E and F. I circumvented the need for the code by just placing to identical effects in the ability, each with its own set of conditions. Maybe a little clumsy, but I can't figure out how to do it with just AND and OR conditions. It would be nice if they had something like ENDOR, as in: Condition A = True AND Condition B = True AND Condition C = True ENDOR Condition A = True AND Condition D = True AND Condition E = True AND Condition F = True AND This would make the first 3 its own group and next 4 their own group.

I have an effect for an ability I want to trigger under the following conditions: If A, B, C = true or If A, D, E, F = true I have to be missing something about how these OR/AND conditions work, because I can't get it straight. Still trying, though, but if someone has some useful tips I would appreciate it (already using www.creationkit.com)

Can anyone confirm?

UESP Wiki says it should be 5% out of combat and 1.75% while in combat, but I did some testing in the CK. By placing a detrimental effect of 5.00 on my character (StaminaRate, not StaminaRateMult), stamina did not regen at all either in or out of combat. When I placed only a 1.75 penalty, though, stamina still regenerated both in and out of combat. I even tried 2.00, and 3.00. Stamina still regenerated in combat. I tried with both Peak Value Modifier and Value Modifier. Due to a missing animation, I recently reinstalled the game and only have the following mods installed, none of which would affect stamina (I don't think): Climates of Tamriel Unofficial Skyrim patch Chesko_Frostfall (not activated in game yet) Caliente Vanilla Armor Tweak Moreloot SMDrop lit torches Sky UI Remodeled Armor Achieve That Better Quest Objectives Climates of Tamriel - Dungeons_Hazardous Climates of Tamriel - Interior_Warm Realistic Needs & Diseases (Not activated in game yet) Alternate Start W.A.T.E.R RND_Water patch No more butch females Female City Guards Feminine Housecarls The only way my mod currently affects stamina is by use of a Value Modifier for Stamina that makes each attack cost stamina. Nothing else affects StaminaRate in my mod except the experimental numbers I mentioned at the beginning of the post. As I said, I really don't think any of the mods I have installed stealthily adjusted StaminaRate, but I guess it is possible. Do any of them affect StaminaRate? I would really rather not go through another tedious uninstall-and-test routine like I went though yesterday futilely searching for the cause of a missing animation. Or am I right and this is just how the game normally operates?

I ran the game with nothing but the Skyrim.esm and Update.esm and it is still was not working. I just reinstalled the game. Tedious, yes. And annoying. But thanks for trying Georgie

Yeah I tried putting them back in, sometimes en mass, sometimes one at a time (not comprehensively ... just certain ones like Duel and FNIS) I did start a new game, but I am not sure if I disabled SkyRe before or after (I am testing some issues with modding .. .none of which have anything at all to do with animations and such). The real puzzling part is that females work fine. I dont think there is anything about SkyRe (or most of the mods I have used) that would affect only males. Some of the mods might (like FNIS perhaps or certain combat mods), but disabling them did nothing, nor did enabling them again. It is a very weird problem, and I don't know when it started, since I only recently made a male character and discovered this.

Yeah I tried that. All I got for my trouble was having my preferences reset.
