Kill Script for a weapon?

[SteveBob7]

I've looked at a lot of tutorials but don't have much experience with Papyrus. What do I need to put in my script to cause a weapon to instantly kill whoever/whatever it hits? Kinda like Mehrune's Razor but 100% of the time...

why would you want that as it will be overpowered? but an easy way to do it is just make the weapon hit like 999999999 in damage

I think this is reachable by putting a magic effect on the weapon.

 

Then putting a script on the magic effect, something like

 

OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
     akTarget.Kill()
EndEvent

Thanks but can I not just put "OnHit" or something to make it simpler?

The OnHit event has to be placed on the NPC receiving the damage.

 

So unless you plan to put the same script on every single NPC ingame, you can't use it.

 

The above script will instead be attached on a magic effect.

 

Then the effect will be part of an enchantment.

 

Finally the enchantment attached to the weapon.

 

By default the "spells" on weapons fire when you swing an enemy, so the "oneffectstart" is for this purpose.

You might also want to add a command to disable essential NPCs immortality.

Cool, thanks guys. Will give it a go :)

 

Edit: Worked great, thanks again :)
