Arrows with enchantments, done through effect explosion?

[Rorax]

Alrighty so I am working on a mod that will add silver bolts and arrows to the world, craft, leveled lists and so on. I thought it awful strange they weren't included in Dawnguard.

 

AAAAAnnnndddd being that this is the first time I have played with the construction kit I think I did pretty well for myself :P

 

I have created the bolt and arrow which are essentially renamed duplicates of steel variants each.

I have created the projectiles that the above link to.

I have created the explosion that the projectiles link to.

And in the explosion I have linked to the EnchSilverSword enchantment.

 

SO in game everything looks good, they are useable e.t.c the enchantment symbol shows next to the bolts and arrows and the description works fine.

 

The issue is the silver enchantment isn't being applied to Draugr that I test on (I test with steel as well to compare damage)

 

I think the issue is with my explosion effect. Keep in mind I wanted this to apply to a single target and nothing else.

 

Which is as follows.

 

Art file: none

ID RTSilverProjectile

Name: <blank>

Force: 0.0

Damage: 0.0

Radius: 1.0 (I figured it would need to have /A/ radius in order to affect anything)

IS Radius: 0.0 (no idea what this is)

Vertical offset Mult: 0.0

 

Light: None

Enchantment: EnchSilverSword

Sound Level: Normal

 

Anything not listed is either not ticked or set to none.

 

 

Some other questions.

 

Is it possible to apply an enchantment to ammo without an explosion?

If the above isn't possible is it possible make the ammo not be destroyed by the explosion? I would like the silver ammo to be retrievable

I have tried playing with the radius' and neither seem to apply the silver damage to undead.

I thought it may be the effect, but tracing back through what they did for exploding bolts, it's still contact as delivery.

 

It seems weird and I am stumped as ever.

Have you added the Silver Perk script to the item/s ? ... This is a script that adds a special perk to the player when equipping silver weapons that increases damage

No I didn't :S I'll take a look into it.

 

I figured the magic effect which dictates that it does damage would actually do the damage it says it does *shrug*

 

Thanks for the advice I'll report back soon!

The only place I can add the silversword script is on the magic effect, and it doesn't seem to work still when I do.

 

I took a look at the script but I have no idea what I am looking at or what I need to change to make it work. :S

I would assume creating a script and attaching it to the quiver so that when u equip it, if gives u the silver sword perk and when you unequip it , it removes the perk.
