pilk Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 ~warning~ my modeling skills aren't the best it may take a few tries to get it looking like it really fits as for textures i hate them but i'd be willing to do uv's personally id like to see some sort of portable blast (tower)shield that power armor can carry and maybe even placed as cover i mean you have something that would be worth millions of dollars and has many very specialized moving parts so why not have some sort slab that could take much more damage and still leave you real armor shiny and with less holes. mechanics of mod: basically i was thinking it could be a arm mod that wouldn't take damage when shot(not sure how possible that is) and could be slammed down and used as cover(this would turn it into a furniture object just like what happens to power armor when you get out of it). now to make this make sense in the world it would just be held on with a high powered magnet and a handle that has a switch to turn off the magnet. now if this was to go far enough i was thinking of making different versions for raider up to X-01 but i don't want to get ahead of myself.

tartarsauce2 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) secondedI named my first character paladin, it was going to go for strength for melee, int (and the strength) for customization of equipment, charisma for obvious reasons, rely on high tech weaponry a lot, power armour, and have some endurance and a little luck (was going for a themed playthrough because I wanted to try out a high charisma build because it seemed really interesting based on the perks)what about grenades?there's a thing that uses grenades to do things, alternatively is there anything with a cooldown that could be used as a consumable?there's this, which has a summon relay grenade for example so interesting things afoot - you've got your throw grenade, explosion teleports a thing in mechanic already lined uphttp://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8262/?what I really want to do, is figure out how to make a shield in the game - and throwing weapons as actual weapons (usable in VATS)but I haven't figured out how to do the throwing thing at allbut I believe there's some sort of slot indicator for shields... and I believe the behemoth uses a block thing, that has hp itselfin vanilla FO4 there's something called an "assaultron shield" in the armour section formID is 0022BC24and it occupies the "block slot"dunno about you but if I could crack this keywords slots usage thing, I'd be so down for revamping the melee/primitive weapons system in this game Edited June 8, 2016 by tartarsauce2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilk Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 hmm maybe you could have it set as a grenade with a fast animation but slow speed(think they are separate) or have a hidden event going on that would stop you from over using something but what do you want a cooldown for?

tartarsauce2 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) oh, I was just wondering what sort of system of deployment you were thinking of, for some reason I was under the impression you wanted the slab to be able to be slammed onto/into the ground as deployable cover lmao, or a force field shield sort of spell effect (in which case a grenade for the 1st and consumable for the 2nd could work) - the reason I was thinking cooldowns is because the "consumable" could be a cooldown permanent object that just needs time to recharge, it's a "consumable" because that's the easiest way to implement it and allow it to be hotkeyed, but it's actually a new ability as part of the suit or whatever (getting in a suit with the requirements being satisfied adds a weightless consumable, exiting armor removes it is how this would operate)but halfway through typing I got the impression maybe you meant shield as in the actual buckler kind of thing, and tower shield you use in combat as a held object not a pavise which is basically a tower shield you carry and then set down as deployable cover (I was playing as venice in medieval total war 2 for a while and their signature archer is pavise crossbowmen so it was on the brain)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paviseanyways, if you mean a handheld shield like in skyrim, the assaultron shield thing might be useful, the behemoth thing where he covers his face with his arm apparently counts as some sort of shield or something but I couldn't find it in FO4edit when I made my previous postbut I couldn't help you with how to make those things happen, I was just giving the little information I do have on the matter - one of the projects I've got in mind to actually do in the nearish future is really go all out and try to see if I can't get actual sword and board play to work as well as dual wielding, and actual throwing weapons as weapons not grenades (whenever I see a throwing mod I investigate it for this because noone's figured it out yet apparently except... maybe.... someone who made a sword slashes that cast blasts at people thing but I don't understand how it works even though I opened it up to look inside the mod so it's kinda complicated)but I think that if that's going to happen it's going to take a few days of playing around even if I can do it Edited June 9, 2016 by tartarsauce2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilk Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 well i was thinking of a big tower shield type thing for use in power armor but i wasn't sure if it could be equiped like a shield in skyrim so i was thinking that it would be a mod for the arm part of armor that would disappear if it could be deployed(which would be useful for blocking door ways but if you could actually equip it then you could make something like a riot shield for when you're not in power armor which would be cool i might try making one of those too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
