Request for help/mod to edit the script of "No Backwards Running U

[DanielShougun]

This is either a request to make the mod or a request for help editing a current one.

 

Problem: I use both Abo's Backwards Running Updated (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/10901) and Beni's Pretty Woman - animation replacer (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/32572). The problem is that I like the backwards run animation and would still like to see it occasionally.

 

Idea for a solution: I'd like to edit the script in Abo's Backwards Running Updated so it only kicks in when a weapon or fists are out/unsheathed.

 

While I can read a script and understand the logic in it enough to edit it to my liking, I have no skills in adding lines or in the actual scripting language. This is where I need help or a mod request (which ever some nice person is willing to do). Abo gives permission as long as he's credited.

 

The following is the actual script from the mod:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Scriptname aaNoRunBackwards

 

; Running is toggled off by either disabling (runState == 1) or holding (runState == 2)

; the run key. When running has been toggeled off it takes one frame to take effect.

; After togging running off, debounce is set to give one frame for it to take effect.

; This can also be done less reliably by increasing fQuestDelayTime to longer

; than one frame.

 

short initScript

short runKey

short backKey

short runState

short debounce

float fQuestDelayTime

float backRunTime

float timePassed

 

Begin GameMode

 

; Initialise settings for v2

if (initScript != 2)

set fQuestDelayTime to 0.01

set runKey to GetControl 10 ; Run Key Code

set backKey to GetControl 1 ; Back Key Code

set initScript to 2

endif

 

set timePassed to GetSecondsPassed

 

if IsKeyPressed2 backKey

if (backRunTime < 0.33)

; accumulate backwards running time

set backRunTime to backRunTime + timePassed

elseif debounce

; last frame we toggled run, give it a frame to take effect.

set debounce to 0

elseif player.IsRunning

; backwards running time limit reached, force walk

if IsKeyPressed2 runKey

; running because run key pressed so disable it.

ReleaseKey runKey

DisableKey runKey

set runState to 1

else

; running because run key not pressed, so hold it.

EnableKey runKey

HoldKey runKey

set runState to 2

endif

; set debounce to allow next fame for toggle to take effect.

set debounce to 1

endif

else

; decrement backwards running time to zero

if (backRunTime > 0.0)

set backRunTime to (backRunTime > timePassed) * (backRunTime - timePassed)

endif

; toggle running back if it was toggled

if runState == 1

EnableKey runKey

set runState to 0

elseif runState == 2

ReleaseKey runKey

set runState to 0

endif

endif

 

End

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It ought to be fairly simple, but I just don't understand how to write scripts...

Thank you for your time
