krimzin Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Ok, so I've been out of the modding game for several years and I'm a little rusty. What I want to do is make a pair of goggles that highlight synths. I want it to use the same sort of effect as the tracking HUD power armor mod, possibly a different color to keep things interesting. But I only want it to highlight synths, specifically Gen 3 synths that you would normally have to kill to find out they are synths. I'd prefer it if it would highlight all models of synths, for lore-friendliness, but its not super necessary. I've picked out a model I want to use, and I'll have to ask the original modder for permission to use it, but its just the goggles worn on the neck of the handyman outfit Sturges wears. As for the color, I'm not remotely sure how to do that. I haven't edited textures since Oblivion, and that was years ago. And for the condition that it only highlight synths, I'm sure there's a way to use the enchantment effect for the original targeting HUD and add a condition to only highlight if the target is in a certain form list, I just don't know how to compile a form list of all the synths in the game. There may even be a list made since they all drop a synth component on death. I'm not opposed to making this one myself, but I'd need some help figuring out how to put it all together.

Ekayne Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 try a conditional. it's an option on the magic effect. set it up so it only works if they have a synth component in their inventory? Or if they're part of the sym faction? maybe? does that help? PM me if it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffman12 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 They'll only have a synth component in their inventory if they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixereternal Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm fairly certain that the Awareness Perk shows human-like synths as having some energy resistance. This could be the indicator used to make this. Like total resistance minus armor equals x. If x is equal to "synth resistance value" then highlight.

Perraine Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Someone already made a set of glasses that highlight Synths. Plus a pair that shows unassigned settlers, and damaged items - Settlement Aid Program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
