Event when player hits any static object with weapon?

[duggelz]

I'm thinking about some kind of "portable scrapper" weapon, either melee or projectile, that runs some code whenever the player hits an object in the world. How would I get this event? I can't attach a script to every object in the world, and the events on the player are for when the player gets hit by something else.

 

Thoughts? It looks like cloak-type enchantments still can't apply an Effect to a non-Actor object?

The engine does what the engine does- and that is anything BUT a general purpose programmable state machine. Most functionality is baked in- that's just the way it's always been with this Beth engine. If a baked in library function doesn't give you what you need, you are usually out of luck.

 

Static objects are STATIC for a reason- so the engine can just IGNORE them. Edit mode will be a special non-game mode HACK, that was never intended for in-game functionality.

 

Sadly Beth mislead many by implying that playing FO4 and editing FO4 were now one-and-the-same (which would have been a terrible idea).

 

The whole idea of an 'event' is that it is a CREATING thing that exists for a specific reason. Obviously, if you 'hit' an object and get an 'event', the object should NOT be a generic static one. The creator of the specific 'event' system should wnat to be the conceptual owner of the 'object' involved, and that is how it should be.

 

A 'static' object usually has no meaning save for the renderer- and its 'blocking' geometry.

When I say "static object" I mean MovableStatic forms like "AutomotiveCar02Debris01" or Static forms like "TireStack1", not random ground geometry.

 

In Skyrim, I made books glow by using QuestAliases. And it worked, but could be flaky at times. I was hoping there was a more direct way.
