Making mod script no worky

[stalkersoldiers]

trying to ake a script for a sword that has a random chance of killing someone. the higher your infamy the better the chance. but it won't work. i know mehrunes razor does the same thing but with luck so i tried to use that as a base but nothing. Any suggestions/tips/example scripts/Anything?

I wouldn't know Mehrunes Razor's script, but it shouldn't be too hard... What kind of percent-chance are you looking for, how much do you already know about scripting, and how did you attempt to copy the razor-script?

ok i'm half-way decent with scripting. what i want to do is have the players infamy, ex:32, divide it by 2 and that be the percent chance. How might, if possible, this work? i basically looked at the script for Mehrunes Razor and saw the basic form, what they floated, short, etc.

In that case, the script would go like...

scn MyWeaponEnchantScript

Begin ScriptEffectStart
;ScriptEffectStart blocks run when the effect in question is first added.

 if (GetRandomPercent < (GetPCInfamy / 2) && IsActor && IsEssential == 0)
;If a random number between 0 and 99 is less than the player's infamy divided by two...
;...the victim is, in fact, an actor, and they're not essential...

	  PlaySound SPLDestructionHit
	  kill
 endif
end

Be sure to set it to a Magic Effect script via the drop-down box above the text-editor, then attach it to a Script Effect enchantment and attach that to the weapon by the normal means.

 

Just to note, this isn't based off the Mehrunes Razor script because I don't have Mehrunes Razor. I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work, though.
