Help with stagger effect

[chrisr7773]

Hey all,

What would be the simplest way to create a mod that causes an enemy to stagger when the player character shoots them with a bow/crossbow? Basically Power Shot but I'd like it to be separate so the player character can have it from the beginning of the game, and I'd like to be able to customize the percentage chance of stagger.

Maybe make it part of the very first archery tree perk or make it a racial ability or something like that?

Figured it out. I just attached an ability perk entry to the first Archery tree perk (by default this perk only has one entry, the damage modifier). There's an ability called BowStaggerEffect that does what I wanted.

If you have another idea for it, I'd still be curious to know.
