Knockdown with weapon

[Faceshifter]

I've been trying to make a weapon with a chance to knock down your op(p)on(n)ent.

All went well, untill I wanted to equip the item on a NPC. I used:

player.pushactoraway

And that worked when I was wielding the weapon, but I have found no function to get the wielder of the weapon.

I suppose this is impossible and I can probably work my way around it but it would be kind of ugly ( making new weapons with new scripts for every new NPC who is wielding it).

 

I can imagine something like:

 

Scn ScriptName

Ref Pushed
Ref Pusher
Ref RandomChance

Begin ScriptEffectStart
set RandomChance to GetRandomPercent
if ( RandomChance > 94 )
  Set Pushed to GetSelf
         Set Pusher to GetWielder
  Pusher.PushActorAway Pushed 15		
endif
End 

 

Only problem is the GetWielder function (this is no real thing of course)

Does anyone know a real function for that?

I myself like using Event Handlers like OnHit and OnHitWith, but GetContainer as suggested below should indeed work. I used it myself in 1 of my mods to find the reference to an actor owning a token. Edited April 15, 2011 by Maskar

Try this:

 

Scn ScriptName

Ref Pushed
Ref Pusher
Ref RandomChance

Begin ScriptEffectStart
   	set RandomChance to GetRandomPercent
   	if ( RandomChance > 94 )
         	Set Pushed to GetCombatTarget
         	Set Pusher to GetSelf
         	Pusher.PushActorAway Pushed 15            	
   	endif
End

I used GetSelf to get the one that was hit. I used a magic script effect.

Won't GetSelf return the target and result in an upward launching of the combat target?

There's no GetWielder, but there's GetContainer. Although it says container, it works on actors as well.

The one that is hit is the combat target, hence GetCombatTarget. GetSelf is the reference that the script is running on, ie. THIS reference.

So this script is applied to the weapon? Or on the actor? Edited April 16, 2011 by Faceshifter
