Help with a Holy Sword script.

[ASMST]

This may or may not be the right place to post this but... I need help with a script.... A kinda hard one.

 

While playing around with OOO, I found a sword called "light of dawn" which is a sword that deals additional damage to vampires. Kewl I though. Kept the sword around for when i ran into vampires (not a very common thing while doing quests and such, but what ever, the sword was a quest item and had no weight at the time so it was fine). After walking though a undead infested alyid ruin looking for a alyid statue (yeah, i actually do that quest :P) I though, well it would be sweet to have a Sword that did additional damage to ALL undead type things (lichs, zombies, skeletons vampires, ect). So, I set out to make such a sword. Tearing apart and twinking the "Light of Dawn" sword scripts to do so. It seemed to be going all well and good until it hit me, I have very little scripting abilities. Out side of a "onactive" type thing, im useless. So, thats where the help I am asking for steps in. :P

 

Again, the script does the additional damage to ALL UNDEAD things, or at least I want it to do so. Paladins sword type thing... This is the script effect weapon enchantment thing. This is what I got, prepare to laugh...

The only thing i can think up off the top is getting perhaps the actor faction. the undead all have their own faction. If the faction is undead do whatever you want it to do.

 

edit: its getfaction rank which would something like rank>= 0 run your block of code.

 

here is the wiki on it
