Bullet Time on Power Attack

[lorddenathor]

Hello everyone, This is my first post on these forums.

 

I'm a rather experienced modder, but I have never bothered the combat system. Anims, textures, and models are pie, but when it comes to scripting, I'd do more good banging my head against a wall. Which I've been doing alot of over this problem. I always ask for help as a last resort, so believe me when I say I've googled/looked on these forums/uesp/theelderscrolls/whatever. Please dont post telling me to "Google it".

 

I have been playing with a self modified version of DMC Styles' Special Attack anims, and my masamune. I upped the speed on the sword, but knocked the damage down proportionately, in order to have the same possible Damage Per Second, but have a more "True to game" speed.(I mean, holy crap. Have you seen Sephiroth swing that thing?)

 

Rambling aside, I'd like to see/be able to direct my power attacks with DMC (I use Unnecessary Violence, and I wont use Deadly Reflex) in slow motion. Only the power attacks. I've looked at and tried the bullet-time mods, but none do what I want. Does anyone know a way to script a function to be activated on certain attack types?(Power Attack) I was thinking maybe a mething of hooking the held down mouse button, intercepting the call to the animation, or something. I really dont know. But help would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

here's a working bullet time mod http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6834

 

then all you need is something like this

 

if (player.isPowerAttacking == 1)
  run bullet time code
else
  return
endif

Check out the IsPowerAttacking and IsAnimGroupPlaying functions.
