Proof that a player can fly in Skyrim well may be more like swimming

[Galacticat42]

Turns out I had to rewrite the code a lil while back since, as it turns out, the script forced me into the ground which caused a slingshot effect most know as the Giant's Club Launch. After correcting it, the Havok effects refused to kick back in which caused me to float there. So I had to ditch the setposition() function and look at ApplyHavokImpulse(). This seemed to be a good idea as its description for objects seemed perfect, but as it turns out the player character doesn't have a mass registered to the engine so ApplyHavokImpulse would be useless since the base mass factor of the character is defaulted to 0 with no obvious way to set it. So finally I'm currently looking into the SetMotionType() function which I think might have been implemented into the Script Dragon SDK incorrectly. Regularly in Papyrus the function would require a reference object and a sub-string to set for either Dynamic or Keyframed modes and oddly enough the Script Dragon version requires a uint and so I have NO idea what the numerical values for Dynamic/Keyframed modes are.

		CActor *player = Game::GetPlayer(); 
		flySim(&FlapKey, (PlayerCharacter *)player, bAutoFly, &iFlapCD);
	}
	Wait(0);
}
}

 

I'm still in the middle of rearranging the code so some of the syntax won't make sense.

 

Also note that right now I'm just trying to work on a collision-friendly up/down button.

Dragon riding? Flying horses? Pah, who needs 'em.....Skyrim needs a Pegasus mount!

 

Edit: The ability to throw rain thunderbolts down on the heads of your enemies would be kinda sweet too.....I always wanted to be Zeus.

 

Isn't Pegasus basically a horse that can fly but has wings. Let me see if I can put wings on a horse and get it to fly.

Well, after hours of trying to get a proper animation to work, I belive I surrender, my ring works perfect now it just lacks a proper animation, I was hoping if somebody could port a couple things from oblivion, one being the Wings of archangel from midas magic, and the sky dive animation, with those 2 my mod will be complete, else I better start learning 3dsmax lol.

What I was wondering about converting stuff from Oblivionif it would also be possible to get VipCxjs Air Fight System for Oblivion working in Skyrim as well? To me it seems that his script somehow managed to include custom animations as well as spellcasting/meleeattacks.

Nop, not sure how to do that without using C++.

[jimhsu]

If you want something simple-ish, rig the favoredsouls wings to the skeleton, make a simple-ish flapping animation, and replace the jump animation with that. Yes I know it's simpler said than done, but that shouldn't take more than a day and would get something out now.

cool,

i hope to see angel / demon wings armor with this mod

We are dovahkiin, I want the ability to grow wings out of my back and fly.

 

EDIT: What he said jimhsu :D

The animation required for that would be ... something I'm going to not try to do, judging from how complex the werewolf transformation anim is.
