AndyPandyW Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I am playing as mainly an archer, cus I love the bow and arrow gameplay in Oblivion, especialy with that mod that makes your arrows fly much quicker and they pin guys to the walls and stuff... very cool. But anyway, I am getting increasingly anoying that I can't fire off enough arrows before the enemy closes right in on me like Legolas does in lord of the rings. He takes out about 5 orcs in about as many seconds. If you just click without holding down at all, you can fire off arrows (almost) as fast as i'd be reasonably happy with... but they only go about 5 meters before they hit the ground. I was wondering if it's possible to make a mod that speeds up the "pull back" animation speed so you can fire full powered shots without having to take so long pulling back the string. In this way I was hoping to also maybe be able to fire off shots even faster than you can by just clicking without holding down. I realise this would be unballancing, but it would also be VERY cool. Timing wise I was thinking that maybe the whole animation could run quick enough to be able to fire off an arrow at 3/4 power every second, I have (shamefully) "acted" out the draw animation whilst looking at the second hand on my watch and it sounds very quick but it actualy doesn't look unreasonable. If anyone could make this I would be very very grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Unfortunately, that aspect seems to have some hard coding involved to establish a minimum amount of time for a full draw. Although you can make the attack speed on the bow very quick, you often end up with only a partial draw of the bow, limiting its effectiveness.

AndyPandyW Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Ok, I just doubled the "Speed" value of a bow in the TES Construction Set and tried the bow out, and it has doubled the rate of fire of the bow, it's doubled the speed of the whole animation so you can pull back the bow string fully in half the amount of time, and notch a new arrow twice as quick. I havn't noticed any slowing of the arrows flight or lack of range or anything, but I am using the mod that increases arrow speed so that might be solving that. Anyway, just thought i'd make it known that i've done what it was I wanted to do and it seems to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
