Knockback Feect on Power Attack

[pegonz]

Hi guys. I've currently been messing around with adding effects on weapons and I really liked the knockback effect. Right now I've implemented it with a 20% activation rate on impact.

 

Problem is, I think it would be so much better, and would make more sense if the effect triggers on power attacks rather than it being random.

 

here's a video link of the effect that I've cranked up so the knockback will trigger every time, just for testing purposes.

So, if anyone can direct me on how to implement the "trigger on power attack" thing, it'll be very helpful!

 

Thanks guys!

Haven't been able to dredge up anything short of the TARGET detecting if it was power attacked or not... that's not terribly helpful unless every enemy was an alias in a hidden quest, and thus given a script fragment that checked if they were hit with a power attack...

 

how about a quick casting spell/power that enables the power attack before the target swing? even applying a... knockback... poison... just so you could hotkey it... that one sounds kinda lame though.

Well, thanks for the tips. Definitely going to try that out later! Thanks man.
