Knock down arrows?

[onson]

I recently started playing Oblivion again, shot a guy with an arrow and knocked him down and thought of something. Is there a mod that anyone knows of that has arrows that knock down enemies every shot? If not what would modify to get this effect? I'm pretty familiar with the editor and know the effect is random In the vanilla game.

Realistics and Forces mod.

However this mod, as I installed it, does not work. Physics are barely changed and most remain unchanged. My character is around level 20 or so, with very high stats, and perhaps 1 arrow out of 100 will knock the opponent down, with the mod. Melee weapons also do not have knockdown effects, unlike the mod description.

I'm looking for the same thing, something that drastically improves knockback/knockdown of arrows/melee weapons.

Yeah I just wanted to make an enchanted arrow or a bow that had higher probability.

Just open CS, create a new enchantment with Paralyze for X seconds, copy another arrow (your choice which) and apply the enchantment on it. Put X into a chest, add it into game, or put it into a vendor's chest and then you can buy it from him/her.

Actually, there is a way you can script this. Basically, enchant an arrow with a spell made with the CS. The effect is a Script Effect. Let's call it Knockback.

 

So what you'd want to do is make it when the effect is applied, a push effect is added. Best to get the highest version of OBSE, you will need it. What the script will do is launch the hit NPC or creature by pushing it a defined amount of feet from you. It works up to about 1000 feet before being more or less useless. For realistic knockdown, do 5. For a stun effect, do 1. For a decent reasonable launch, you'll want 25. For a large launch (perhaps a 440-pound pull bow simulation?), do 100. For full craziness, do 1000. The variable you define will be represented by X here.

 

Here is the script:

 

scn KnockbackEffect

ref me

begin scripteffectstart
set me to getself
player.pushactoraway me X

end

 

For a good example, I will show the one for a normal launch that you likely want:

 

scn KnockbackEffect

ref me

begin scripteffectstart
set me to getself
player.pushactoraway me 25

end

 

Now, the good thing is that you can use this in spells, or simply as an effect for ANY weapon. Yeah, have fun.

As I said before, you need OBSE, likely a higher version. No Exceptions. It won't work otherwise.

 

Should be a fairly quick mod. If you just want a quick mod, my Taser Mod has this kind of stuff, but with "Stun" type.

You do not need OBSE for that script, you'll just need Oblivion version 1.2 and CS 1.2 .

A fun/disturbing fact is that with that script, you can shoot the arrow, run real fast to another place and the foe will be pushed away from you.

You could, for instance, shoot the arrow south of the character, run really really fast to his west side, and he will fly east.

This will not likely happen, unless you specificely try so.

If enemies use these arrows, though, you'll be sent airborn, straight up.

 

I could make this for ya, but it'd be a better exercice and fun if you did it yourself (where they are found, how many, bows, weapons etc. you should decide).

[GreatLucifer]

Do indeed do not need OBSE for that script. Where do you get the idea... :psyduck:

 

As for the arrows; might I suggest this script;

 

 

scn RagDollScript

ref Self

begin ScriptEffectStart
set Self to GetSelf
Self.pushactoraway Self -1
end

 

 

As all this script does, is enable the 'ragdoll'-state on something. Works rather... realistically, instead of people flinging through the air from a single wooden arrow....

Thanks for the replies I'm gonna try the suggestions out as soon as I get time

It's not that hard to make a knock down arrow or do what i did with the bow and arrow mod i made.

 

Just go into the tes construction set and put the paralyze effect on the arrow. Each time it hits, the target falls to the ground and lays there for about 10 seconds, giving you plenty of time to hit it with another arrow. If you don't know how to do the whole scripting or cs thing, tell me what arrow you want the effect on and i will do it for you.

 

For instance, daedric, steel, iron, silver, amber, pick a arrow and i'll put the effect on it.

Ive made the paralyze arrows but I wanted to make some that has the knock down effect which is different. The knock down effect is a random occurrence after you reach master marksman. Just clarifying
