Increasing DT by equipping specific weapons.

[aaronwind]

Hey there, I have been trying to make melee a bit more powerful in my game lately and rather than just increasing the damage done by it I wanted more survivability. When I am running IWS and HarderThanYou, melee is not really an option. So I have been trying to make perks that increase your DT while you have melee weapons equipped, but I seem to be unable to do this. I found a parameter --Increase DT (defender)-- which is used for toughness for instance but I can't seem to apply it to weapons, not my weapons at least.

I was wondering if it was possible to do this with a script, I have never really done anything with scripts, but I am hoping this wouldn't be too hard.

Anyway, thank you for reading and any help or tips would be appreciated.

you can do it by script like this

scn increaseDTtemp

begin OnEquip Player
player.modav damagethreshold 25
end

begin OnUnEquip Player
player.modav damagethreshold -25
end

 

go to geck and double click the weapon you want to increase its DT

under the Name, there is a dropdown list

choose this script

 

everytime you equip that weapon, your DT will be increased by 25

everytime you UNequip that weapon, your DT will be decreased by 25

you can change the value to any value but both must be same value

 

maybe this is wrong but idk :)

hope it works

Hmm, can I then attach this to a perk? And is there no way to make it apply to all weapons in the melee category, so that other mod added weapons would work without modifying them?

 

In either case, thanks for the swift reply, very much appreciated.

There is a way to do it using perk

just like Toughness perk, but you have to add Conditions to the Perk Owner under Perk Entries

 

open the Perk window, right click on Perk Entries box and choose New

choose Entry Points and Modify Damage Threshold (defense) --- Add Value --- 3 (or any number). just like Toughness perk

in the Perk Entry window, there is a Conditions box. there r 3 tabs, Perk Owner, Attacker, and Attacker Weapon. make sure you click Perk Owner

right click and click New

set it to IsWeaponInList --- WeaponListMeleeAll --- == --- 1.0000. click OK and OK and OK

 

if you want to add modded weapons to WeaponListMeleeAll formlist, go to Miscellaneous ---> FormList

open the WeaponListMeleeAll formlist window (dont close it) and drag n drop the modded weapons (from Weapon) to the formlist window. click OK

 

I hope it will work.

Troyquay, I was sure I had already done what you said, but I decided to try it again and followed your instructions precisely. It worked beautifully, thank you so much for taking the time to help me man.

One last question before I leave you guys alone, is there any formid list for unarmed and the unarmed weapons similar to the melee one? I don't see it if it is there.

 

Thanks again for the help, this is exactly what I was looking for.

 

EDIT: Upon further inspection, the unarmed weapons seem to be included in the melee list. That actually fits me perfectly, thanks for the help.
