Do the Player's Fists (No Equipped Weapon) Have An Object ID?

[vltrius]

Just curious, trying to make some mods for the PC when they aren't equipped with any weapons, including Unarmed (or Hand to Hand) weapons.

 

If there's a command or function or variable that will find this out for you (whether or not the player has a weapon equipped), that would be great to know too.

 

I tried using "Fists" (in the Items->Weapons tab in Geck) but apparently that's not for the PC (seems like NPC only).

ref	rWeapon

(...)

set rWeapon to player.GetEquippedObject 5

In the above example, rWeapon is set to the weapon equipped by the player. If equals 0, it means no weapon is currently equipped (in other words, fists are used).

 

Note: GetEquippedObject is a NVSE function.

Thanks! Any tutorials for using NVSE with Geck? (or do I use something else? Apologies, still new to this)

 

Unrelated, but I find it a bit funny that you can GetGameSetting but can't actually modify them in any way (Seems like SetGameSetting or ModGameSetting would have been really useful).

So after having done some testing the GetEquippedObject still seems to return Unarmed Weapons as though the player is not equipped with a weapon.

scn 00SunFistScript

int refStat
ref rWeapon

Begin GameMode

    set rWeapon to Player.GetEquippedObject 5
    
    if refStat == 1    
        if rWeapon == 1
            Player.ModAV UnarmedDamage -100
        Set refStat to 0
        endif
    endif

    if refStat == 0
        if rWeapon == 0
            Player.ModAV UnarmedDamage 100
        Set refStat to 1
        endif
    endif

End

I don't think there's anything wrong with the code (aside from the obvious "using UnarmedDamage" - I'm not sure what should be used in its place to modify attack damage), as the effect doesn't occur on any other weapons (such as a Katana or Laser Rifle) but still occurs on Unarmed Weapons (such as the Paladin Toaster, Boxing Tape).

 

I feel like what I should be using is .SetAttackDamage but that requires an ID and I don't think I can call the player's fists with it.

Try this, instead:

scn	00SunFistScript

short	bBonusApplied

begin GameMode

	if bBonusApplied != (player.GetEquippedObject 5 == 0)
		set bBonusApplied to (bBonusApplied == 0)
		if bBonusApplied
			player.ModAV UnarmedDamage 100
		else
			player.ModAV UnarmedDamage -100
		endif
	endif

end

So, I hope you don't mind me asking a logic question. Is the reason the above statement works is because of the fact that you are testing and then setting bBonusApplied to TRUE if it's equal to 0, rather than setting bBonusApplied to 0 directly?

 

Also, do entry points only work when you have some form of "equipped" weapon? Even just flat out modifying attack speed by a large percentage doesn't seem to apply if you aren't equipped with a weapon (Katana, Boxing Tape, Rifle, etc.)
