Script Help - Offer HP for stat Bonus

[TheStein]

Pretty much what the title says. I want to make a perk that allows me to press a key and give up all but 10 (for sake of argument) HP in exchange for a stat boost. Or if such a perk is present in a previously existing mod, I'd take that too.

 

I'm pretty new to this whole modding business, but consider myself a reasonably fast learner. At the moment I'm using GECK but if you have any other sugestions for modification tools I would gladly take them. Many thanks.

I think you could do it with an ingestible item, if you take a look at any of the chems or radioactive food you should be able to reverse engineer the way the effects work. I know there's an effect that can damage hp, but there might not be anything as standard to reduce it to a fixed amount, in which case you could attach a script to an indestible (never tried it but I think it works). Then it would be a case of using this function http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/SetActorValue as much as needed, although I think that function might change the stats permanently so it might not be suitable. Anyway, hope this helps.

Something like this?

Begin Gamemode

if iskeypressed  38 == 1 &&  player.GetDead  == 0 ;38 is the "L" button, there's a list of the keys here
;http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/IsKeyPressed
player.damageAV health 10
player.setAV strength 10
player.setAV perception 10
player.setAV endurance 10
player.setAV charisma 10
player.setAV intelligence 10
player.setAV agility 10
player.setAV luck 10
endif

end

 

How's that?

Excellent. Thank you. Does this allow you to turn it off if you want, or is there a way to add like a timer to it? I guess this would require the script to store the previous values so they can be restored after you're finished. (I guess a timer may be a bit too optimistic of me)

 

And if I remember correctly (away from my computer at the moment) you can also adjust specific (melee/ranged) weapon damage from the perk dialogue without needing to write it to a separate script right?

OK!!!!!!!!!11

 

I got it!!!

 

If any body is still interested, here is my script/ ability/ quest combo that does exactly what I wanted.

 

scn VoxDrive

short doOnce
short TimerDoOnce
short TimerGoodFaith
short HP
float timer

Begin Gamemode
if iskeypressed 38 == 0 && doOnce != 1
	set doOnce to 1
endif

if iskeypressed 38 == 1 && player.GetAV Health > 21
	playsound DriveForceV
	set doOnce to 0
	set TimerDoOnce to 1
	set HP to player.GetAV Health - 20 
else
	ShowMessage CantDrive
endif
	
if TimerDoOnce == 1
	set timer to 20
	set TimerDoOnce to 0
	set TimerGoodFaith to 1
	player.DamageAV Health HP
	Player.AddSpell ABILDriveVox
endif

if timer > 0
	set timer to timer - getSecondsPassed
elseif TimerGoodFaith == 1
	playsound VoxOut
	showmessage msgVoxOut
	set TimerGoodFaith to 0
	Player.Dispel ABILDriveVox
endif

end

 

You make an ability with the stat mods you want (most convenient way to also remove them) spice up with your favorite sound effects, bundle it all into a quest, and glue it to a perk, and you're all set!
