Electric Chainlink Fence (Or Chainlink with Trigger Zone)

Looks cool but isn't it the same as the vanilla electric trap or did I overlook something

Yes. This is a trap, I just made it looped, eternal and changed it to hedge meshes. The lightning effect should probably be redone because I haven't figured out how to position the vanilla lightning yet.

Here everything is tied to the mod and you can see the scripts and parameters in ck.

The usual trap, but looped, and with conduts connections. You can quickly collect electric fields. Also a set of conduits with a similar texture, and switches for them. The trap must be connected through the period switch, then it will restart on its own and large fields will beat continuously. Periods set in the terminal.

I have had the idea of building a prison mod for some time now.  As I got to thinking, a proper high security prison would need a perimeter fence or two.  One of those fences could be a high voltage electric fence which lead me to this thread.  Did anyone ever make electric fences?  BTW, I ran across this vanilla script but it doeesn't look like Bethesda implemented it (or least not to my knowledge).

Scriptname TestElectricFenceScript extends ObjectReference Const

SPELL Property TestElectricFenceShock Auto Const

Event OnPowerOn(ObjectReference akPowerGenerator)
    StartTimer(utility.RandomFloat(0.0, 2.0))
EndEvent

Event OnPowerOff()
    CancelTimer()
EndEvent

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
	Actor theActor = akActionRef as Actor
	debug.trace(self + " actor=" + theActor + ", IsPowered()=" + ispowered())
	if theActor && isPowered()
		debug.trace(self + " SHOCK ME")
		Animate()
    	TestElectricFenceShock.Cast(theActor, theActor)
    endif
EndEvent

Event OnTimer(int aiTimerID)
    if isPowered()
    	Animate()
    	StartTimer(utility.RandomFloat(3.0, 10.0))
    endif
EndEvent

function Animate()
   	PlayAnimation("reset")
   	PlayAnimation("stage2")
endFunction

I used a ready-made mod for indestructible traps. Made my own model and replaced the vanilla trap. I'll look for this mod. I don't remember its name. The model itself is not difficult to make. There are 4 sequences, I think. I made a fence and something like anti-personnel mines. The fence simply hit with an electric arc at short intervals. The intervals were set in the terminal.

Here you go. This mod has an indestructible electric trap. You can make a fence model with any animation with these sequences and reproduce the same conditions, setting the desired damage, duration and everything else that can be configured in ck...

To me, an electric chain fence should be destroyable with some effort but difficult to get at. It should also be pricey as Hell in terms of resources. Black fenceposts with acid and lead in them as batteries charging the capacitor post tops (which use Circuitry and, when discharged, recharge from their batteries thirty seconds later), Copper coating of the chainlink for increased conductivity...

Thanks South, much appreciated.

I like the concept of an electrified fence for a prison mod.  The electrified fence would be one layer of defense.  If it were automated, I think three zones would be appropriate: a warning zone, a shock zone, and a kill zone (lethal shock zone).  Toying with scripting now….

Function MonitorDistance()
    while IsFencePowered
        ; Get the closest actor in proximity
        Actor closestActor = Game.FindClosestActor(GetPosition(), WarningDistance)
        
        if closestActor
            Float distanceToActor = closestActor.GetDistance(self)
            
            ; Warning range
            if distanceToActor <= WarningDistance && distanceToActor > ShockDistance
                PlaySound(WarningSound) ; Verbal warning

            ; Shock range
            elseif distanceToActor <= ShockDistance && distanceToActor > DeathDistance
                closestActor.DamageActorValue("Health", 10.0) ; Minor shock damage
                PlaySound(ZapSound) ; Zap sound effect
                PlaceAtMe(SparkEffect) ; Sparks for visual feedback

            ; Death range
            elseif distanceToActor <= DeathDistance
                ShockSpell.Cast(closestActor, closestActor) ; Lethal shock
                PlaySound(ZapSound)
                PlaceAtMe(SparkEffect)
            endif
        endif

        Utility.Wait(0.5) ; Wait for 0.5 seconds before rechecking
    endwhile
EndFunction

• WarningDistance: The player or NPC hears a verbal warning.
• ShockDistance: They experience minor shocks (zap sound and small damage).
• DeathDistance: Lethal electrocution occurs.

I think it would be cool to create a regular electric fence. Until an NPC or player touches it, it's just a fence with phases stretched. No effects. When touched, the effect of a high-current shock is realized. In reality, the victim is "attracted" to such fences. Muscles under high current contract and the victim is unable to move. The voltage is low. But the current is very high. The ground works as 0.As a result, a person can be shocked for several hours without any threat to life (unless, of course, he has heart disease, and especially a pacemaker). The person is simply unable to move. The muscles do not work.For a similar reason, electricians are taught to touch conductors only with the back of their hand. Otherwise, the grasping reflex is triggered. The finger muscles contract, the person grabs the conductor and is unable to unclench his hand. If a person tries to climb over such a fence, he will simply dangle on it until security comes and removes him.
