I need help with my mod

[slayer418]

So what I'm trying to do is simple to understant (I think) but not so much simple to do (this is what I'm wondering),for short, I want to have the VATS overlay information shown always but only when I'm aiming (using the sight).

 

By VATS overlay information, I means the text info as the hit-chance's percent for a targeted body part or the health related to this body part.

 

I would like to have this overlay shown only when aiming on someone (hitTest if the reticle is on a target or something like this), I know the highlight function that use the VATS's system (HighlightBodyPart), I have wrote a script who is executed everytime I aim but now I'm not able to figure out how I can show the VATS overlay and to show it when I want.

 

I searched through functions list on G.E.C.K's site but didn't find the right function, the function that load the VATS's system when it is asked but, it must has one (No ?), how the VATS would be loaded if it don't has one?

 

 

Well I thought it would be rather a great idea to come ask help on this forum because peoples here seems to be experimented so, I finaly did it :P.

Afaik this is not possible. VATS is not just an overlay, it's a mode that completely freezes real time and movement and so i don't think it is supposed to kick in unless you hit the "V" key. maybe there's an undocumented function to turn on VATS through a scripting command but the official GECK website doesn't mention one, so I'd say it is "officially" not possible.

Would it be possible to create a new overlay and Add the wanted information using XML or an other way?(I don't know How the XML things work in Fallout, I been able to draw some text on the screen by editing the good XML file but I don't understand how the XML get the string data to be show, where the XML file get the value to show for, as exemple, the Health)
