How do I add a knockdown effect to an explosive weapon?

[Midwinter1888]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to recreate Pararaptor's Explosive Knockdowns mod from the original FO3 (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6439). I've tried to contact the original author, but they're not answering - so I'd decided to give it a go myself. Hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult as the original apparently only took ten minutes to make. But I am a mod-making noob.

 

Basically, I want to add a high knockdown chance to all FONV explosives. I've figured out how to open the weapon base details window in the NV GECK, but I can't see where the knockdown chance is. I've obviously looking in the wrong place, so can some kind soul give me a pointer or two?

 

Thanks.

If you go to Game effects>Explosion you can modify the effects for the actual explosions. The weapon data settings only change the initial impact (if you look at something like the grenade rifle it does a pathetic amount of damage). Looking at the bottom right of the window for the 40mmGrenadeExplosion there's an option for knockdowns (always/by formula/ never). To be honest I have no idea how the formula works, looking at the knockdown game setting there seems to be a bunch of variables like agility/health/force and damage. Back on the explosion window there's an option to add an enchantment such as "meansonofabitchsledge" which gives a knockdown effect.

 

Hopefully that'll point you in the right direction untill someone can give a more insightful answer.
