Help : Perk that add an unarmed damage to object

[anb2004]

I've created simple gauntlet with some knuckle head on edge. Of course you can take conclusion that it will deliver more unarmed damage than regular gauntlet or without having any enchantment on it. So i try to add this "ghost" damage thing via a script, that adding a simple perk when equiping the gauntlet.

 

Here are the problem, i cant seems to find a good function to add how much/percentage damage for unarmed combat at entry point. i've tried several function but it always end up over powered in game and it also affecting weapons damage as well, even tho i set it with unarmeddamage.

 

 

 

I'm using Mod Attack Damage as enty point.

Function that has value of Unarmeddamage

-Add Actor Value Mult

-Multiple 1 + Actor Value Mult

-Multiple Actor Value Mult

-Set Actor Value Mult

which one i should go ?

 

so can anyone help me, all i want is simple adding an unarmed damage to the gauntlet just like Glove of Pugilist. instead i'm doing it by adding a perk not an enchantment. quite confusing because this isn't really my teritory of modding, but i am trying to learn. so please bear with me

 

any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks in advance

As you’re already using a script anyway, why not modify the unarmed damage directly in the script. UnarmedDamage is an Actor Value accessible via the GetActorValue function and modifiable via SetActorValue or ModActorValue. This should prevent the damage increase applying to anything else.

Happy Yuletide.

Thank you for replying Eckss.

 

yes, i would have made it with script but unfortunately i really dont know how :wallbash: ...

 

thats why i just modified an existed simple script (silverswordscript) and link it to my custom unarmed damage perk...

 

spend some time searching the nexus, trying to find mods that maybe have this similar effect so i can take closer look how it can be done, and so far i got none :(

If you're wanting this effect to apply to a pair of gauntlets, then why not just use the same enchantment as the Gloves of the Pugilist? What is the reason for doing it differently?

This should work:

 

Scriptname EcksBrassKnucksScript extends ObjectReference  

float property UADamageAdd Auto

Event OnEquipped ( Actor akActor )
  akActor.SetActorValue ( "UnarmedDamage" , (( akActor.GetActorValue ( "UnarmedDamage" )) + UADamageAdd ) )
EndEvent

Event OnUnequipped ( Actor akActor )
  akActor.SetActorValue ( "UnarmedDamage" , (( akActor.GetActorValue ( "UnarmedDamage" )) - UADamageAdd ) )
EndEvent

 

Add this as a new script to your gauntlets and compile and save it. Set property UADamageAdd to the number of damage points you want to add when the gauntlets are equipped.

I wasn't trying to antagonize, just trying to understand your goals. I did read your post, but I guess I didn't understand that you were attempting to add the effect without the appearance of it having an enchantment. When I read your post, I understood it to mean that you were attempting to achieve the same effect without using an enchantment, not that you wanted the gauntlets to appear to be unenchanted. Mea culpa.
