Using a pen as a weapon

[Guerlot]

Hey guys,

Been trying to turn a Pen into a weapon.

 

So far, what I've done is I duplicated the Combat Knife entry in CK, rename it and changed its .nif file to point to the Pen.nif file.

 

In game, the Waponized Pen looks fine if placed in the world, looks fine in inventory. It even does the damage I set it up when I'm using it to but it doesn't appear in the player's hand when equipping it. I do all the proper combat knife animation, but no pen in hand

 

Not quite sure what to do next.

Probably something with your nif, missing attach point or flags. Post the nif so someone can check it out.

Thanks for the reply.

 

After reading it, I went in NifSkope to find how much out of my league this idea is. LOL

I was just looking at it as a joke, but the trouble isn't worth it.

Thanks! :)

if you still want to kill with writing implements, try The John Wick Mod and kill everyone with a pencil

I ended up making it work! NifSkope always scared the s**t out of me, but mainly because it was unknown to me. I woke up this morning and decided to look at it again and compare it with the combat knife .nif file and while it was confusing at first to figure out, it's now working!

Behold the Pen of Doom, comming soon at a Nexus near you :P

So, thank you kingtobbe for pointing me in the right direction :)

And John Wick eh? I NEED to try this now, LOL

Glad to hear that, good work not giving up!

awesome to hear!

this'll go great with stuff like "Shivs of the Wasteland",

which adds equipable shiv improvized bayonets.

 

if it were a standalone melee weapon pencil...

you could then invisi-equip Pickman's Blade etc, and using

Affix Bayonets! equipable melee weapons as muzzle device mod,

attach that pencil that way...

it would do a lot of damage.

 

that's how folks run around with a lightsaber attached on the end of their M249 SAW or serbu shorty etc.

equipable force powers as a melee bayonet attachment though... that is outright cheating.

'force push' instead of that useless melee bash? heck yeah.

 

I like the Severed Protectron Arm attachment as a muzzle/underslung device.

you get 'free' albeit lame lazer blast attacks instead of having to switch weapons to aggro...

no more useless weapon bash hehe.

downside is, it makes the gun weigh +18lbs or so...

 

it'd be cool if a Severed Protectron Arm was a baton/lite lazer blaster.

much like the Mr Handy buzz-saw weed wacker

melee attack pattern for normal attack (fractal for heavy, or hold for heavy),

lazer/flamethrower for melee bash...
