How to apply a spell on every actor the player hits in melee?

[gulogulo]

Hello everyone,

 

 

I would like to know how to apply a spell on every actor the player hits in melee? Im interested in the best and most simple and elegant solution. Something without cloak spells I use extensively. I will be greatfull for any suggestion.

Isn't that what Enchantments are for?

Im using some kind of custom werewolf race so I use no weapons.

You may be able to attach that spell to the attack damage multiplier perk but I am not sure. I would guess that a Perk or Power would be the only way to do it well

In the perks, you can add a spell to a combat hit. It's under the perk entry point -> "Apply Combat Hit Spell" or something. Next, all you have to do is make a magic effect, and set the perk to apply to the one you made.

 

Finally, all you have to do is make some way to give the player the magic effect. This can be either through a spell, or enchantment, or whatever.

Yeah, I will try the perk. Thank you!

Something is wrong. I have created a perk. It works but the Apply Combat Hit Spell perk entry doesnt work. I dont know why. It doesnt matter what spell I add in the entry. Even vanilla spell are not working. BTW they all fire&forget contact spells.

You have to attach that perk to the player somehow. Did you set 'Perk to Apply' in a magic effect to your perk and somehow give that magic effect to the player?

I have noticed through my own modding of Vampire Lord that "Beast" races ",( werewolf. Vampirelord, Hagraven, Spriggan, etc ) have a completely DIFFERENT subset of melee attacks. They seem to use their own type rather then player unarmed attack types. It is something I have been struggling with with one of the mods I'm working on as well, so correct me if I am wrong. Otherwise, this may be your problem.

I simply have followed the advice from heilghast:

 

"It would seem that perks like the Bullseye perk only apply the combat hit spell when the player has a weapon attached. However there is a way around it, which is a bit more longwinded.

I tried the following (using the nordrace), in the AttackData tab, i added the PerkBullseyeParalyze in the attack spell box to the following events (Hand toHand)

 

AttackStartH2HLeft

AttackStartH2HRight

AttackPowerStartForwardH2HLeftHand

AttackPowerStartForwardH2HRightHand

AttackPowerStartForwardH2HCombo

 

Once in game, i changed the race of my charcter to nord, everytime i did an unarmed attack, the paralyze spell was applied.

I wouldn't advise changing a race but rather create a race specifically for your werewolf, and add whatever spells you wanted to the unarmed events within the AttackData tab."

 

 

Its all well now :)
