Disarm weapon script.

[NameNotPresent]

I am trying to make a script to disarm an opponents weapon, it is quite tricky. :psyduck: Also I am concerned about this causing save game bloat so I may also need a way to remove the weapon if it is not recovered, but how could I do that if the player is not in the same cell as the weapon? :confused:

I really don't recommend using drop as it will cause savegame bloating.

[lubronbrons]

post your script here

 

then maybe we can help, fyi this syntax may help to achieve what you need GetInvRefsForItem click to read more

 

about savegame bloat issue, this mod may help to reduce it >>> kuertee Clean Up

By "desarming an opponent's weapon" do yo mean unenchanting it?

No, I want the weapon to be knocked out of their hands, just like the special bonus from a side power attack.

 

if target.GetFatiguePercentage < .25 ;Chance to disarm target

set DisarmChance to GetRandomPercent +1

if DisarmChance <=100

set WeaponOfTarget to target.GetEquippedObject 16 ;get target's weapon

Let WeaponOfTargetArray := target.GetInvRefsForItem WeaponOfTarget

ForEach TempArray <- WeaponOfTargetArray

Let temp := TempArray["value"]

if temp.IsEquipped ==1

temp.unequipme

temp.DropMe

;temp.MoveToMarker target

break

endif

loop

endif

endif

 

Here is the disarm part of the script as it stands now. I don't think I am iterating over the array correctly. I know I can iterate over the whole inventory but this is more efficient. When I was iterating over the whole inventory the "MoveToMarker" part crashed the game. There was another method I tried that also crashed the game. Note conditions for the disarm have not been determined, I need to get the disarm working first.

 

What currently happens is the weapon is unequipped but not dropped.

How does the PlaceAtMe command in the post by lubronbrons compare to the Drop command? Maskar mentioned the Drop command could cause some savegame bloating, but how is PlaceAtMe different from it? Also, if the inventory item is removed, and a new one created, how would that affect persistent references, if a persistent weapon ref is picked up, equipped and disarmed? Or does persistent weapon ref exist as a concept?

 

Just a few questions that popped in mind, out of curiosity. :blush:

[lubronbrons]

for savegame bloat issue we can trust kuertee Clean Up mod, at least... :ermm:

 

but, to get a good clean script. preferably you should clean the mess by yourself using syntax Disable and DeleteReference

 

that is the best way to handle and prevent savegame bloat I think. since the PlaceAtMe command is pretty useful anyway,

 

I believe Maskar use some of PlaceAtMe too, but he clean the reference too with Disable and DeleteReference so no problem.....

 

ahh yeah !

 

I am still wondering why you change your name from Phillipetain to Contratethix ? :)

I wouldn't use PlaceAtMe or Drop for disarming. Sure, you could build in some garbage collecting code, but I don't think it's worth the trouble/risk of bloating. It might be possible to trigger Oblivion's disarm function somehow, although I've never looked into that.
