[LE] How can I make a magic effect only proc when power attacking?

[EggrFegegr]

So basically copied the giant slam effect (crStaggerAttackAreaEffectGiantSlam) and added the condition target is equal to power attacking

The effect works, but with all atacks, so isn't exactly doing what I'm looking for. I'm a bit noob at this (I know how to create new enchantments using vanilla effects, but yeah, have no idea how to do one from 0), so don't really know what else I could do. Thank you very much

Checkout the Bloodskaal Blade for a reference of one way. It launches energy on powerattacks so you could adapt that approach with a different spell. I assume it uses animation events

Yeah, I have a couple weapon mods that acutally use power attacks to do certain effects, but all use scripts. And was wondering if something like that could be done without scripts, since I've never done any and wouldn't even know where to start

Didn't think about the Bloodskaal blade. I'll check it for sure, but I guess all those weapons with more elaborate effects are all gonna be using scripts

One way to do it without scripts is with the Apply Combat Hit Spell perk entry point. This works; however it has the downside of being incompatible with any other attack effects that use that perk entry point, as only the single highest priority one will be applied.

At any rate, with this method, you add the condition on the perk entry point. There is an IsAttackType condition and a few power attack keywords
