Electrip Trap: How to make lightning

[Zorkaz]

I want to make the lightning effect from the electric trap, without using the electric trap itself.

Basically I want it to be part of an unstable cave system where lightning shoots out randomly.

 

Anyone knows if it's part of the animation or whatelse I can do to use it independently?

[hereami]

It's all there in TrapElectricalArc "Tesla Arc" [ACTI:00140E84] . TrapElectricalArcBeam [PROJ:00140F3C] , i guess, and traps shoot it by spell TrapElectricArcSpell at randomly repositioned dummy target. Could replace trap model by rocks etc. and use existing script with necessary edits, perhaps? To not make a weapon and such.

ps. Although i don't know if projectile or its model may be used independently from everything. Is there such need?

Duplicate the trap ACTI form and change the nif to a rock? (TrapElectricalArc, 0x140E84, Fallout4.esm).

 

Or just use the raw spell with a simple looping RegisterFor/OnDistanceLessThan event.

TrapElectricArcSpell.Cast(objSelf, akTarget) ; (TrapElectricArcSpell, 0x140F27)

If it's just the visuals you want, the hitshader is ShockDamageFXS

ShockDamageFXS.Play(TheRef, TimeFloat)

Alternately loop through these handy arrays to find one shader you like:

VisualEffects work the same way. Effect.Play(Ref, time).

 

One trick I think was your advice is to use Weapon.Fire(AmmoForm) <--- create an ammo wrapper for TrapElectricalArcBeam PROJ. The "gun" will be invisible and fire along ref Y axis.

 

Ultimately there's the option of placing an AddonNode link in a duplicated .nif by adding a BSValueNode with the same index as one you like.

I wonder if it's possible to make a trap with a simple sequence? For example, a special floor with a hidden guide, from which a circular circle pops out, sawing npc? Or laser grids sawing npc like in resident evil? Technically, I can make such nif's, but I don't know exactly how they are integrated into ck. Can try to create traps in the form of creatures. With bones and havok behavior. But, too much fuss for a modest result. It would be desirable to be limited to gamebryo.

Plugins have a "Trap" collision type. I would like to understand exactly how this collision interacts with physics in the game and what else such a trap needs in ck.

Technically, I can make such nif's, but I don't know exactly how they are integrated into ck.

I'd say take a look at the bathroom scale trap. Basically there is some kind of passthrough collision.

In the CK you'd take a script with "Event OnTriggerEnter (ObjectReference AkActionRef)" and do some stuff then

[Zorkaz]

TrapCyclicElectricalArc is the object that does exactly what I want
