Extending melee weapon reach with FO4edit?

[MarchUntoTorment]

Does anyone know if there's a value in FO4edit which sets the 'reach' of a melee weapon (e.g. its striking distance)?

 

I'm currently in the process of creating a greatsword, but the standard melee weapon reach is much too small for it, meaning that it often clips through enemies without damage.

Does anyone know how to help me? Or are melee weapon ranges 'fixed' in this game?

 

UPDATE: Going through TESVedit, Skyrim had a setting called 'Reach' for its melee weapons. I'm assuming that's carried over to FO4 as one of the currently 'Unknown' values in FO4edit.

look up the longer melee distance perk and see what it modifies

No luck - that's a global setting, whereas I want to alter a specific weapon's traits.

 

I've tried looking through every 'unknown' field in the data section, but the only field that could theoretically be what I'm looking for (set to 1.1-ish for one-handed weapons and 1.7-ish for two-handed weapons) does nothing when changed, even to 100 or some silly number.

 

Perhaps I'll just have to wait until the GECK drops to release my mod?

I know this is an older post, but for melee weapons, there is a definite reach setting with a float/double value. It's right under 'reload speed'. changing the pool cue from .8 to 2.0 makes it hit much further, tested and works accordingly. I initially tried max range, but that appears to be for guns/bullets.

Thanks! A year later, but hey :P

 

Anyway, I ended up waiting for the Creation Kit to be released. That made it a piece of cake; there's a setting easily-visible. I'm much happier now.

 

Unfortunately, I never got around to posting the mod... maybe I'll do that someday :)
