How do you remove a limb on a dead body in the GECK?

[Stabscaliber]

You see many dead bodies in new vegas and some have missing limb, I'm making a mod that adds more dead bodies to a location but I some of them to have missing limbs but I don't know how to do that.

Can you think of any examples of "missing limb" bodies in game? I'm drawing a blank here. I vaguely remember one that loses all of its limbs as you walk in the door, I feel like that's done by a script. But if you find any in game examples, that'll be a good way to copy what you'd like done.

You can call kill (killactor) on a dead body to dismember their limbs.

 

DeadGuyREF.kill KillerREF, LimbToDismember, CauseOfDeath

 

DeadGuyREF is the dead guy you want to dismember.

 

KillerREF is who gets blamed for the death. If you don't care who gets blamed, pick the REF of some NPC that isn't used in the game like VHDTestLegionary01REF.

 

LimbToDismember is an int:

 

0 - Torso
1 - Head1
2 - Head2
3 - LeftArm1
4 - LeftArm2
5 - RightArm1
6 - RightArm2
7 - LeftLeg1
8 - LeftLeg2
9 - LeftLeg3
10 - RightLeg1
11 - RightLeg2
12 - RightLeg3
13 - Brain
14 - Weapon

Cause of death is also an int:

 

-1 NONE
0 EXPLOSION
2 GUN
3 BLUNT_WEAPON
4 HAND_TO_HAND
5 OBJECT_IMPACT
6 POISON
7 RADIATION

Most gored-up bodies are linked to Generic Dismemberment activators.
