Spell forcing target into 'bleeding out' status w/out scripts?

[sixpak]

I've had another user give a nice suggestion on how to potential have a spell force the bleed out status using a script, but i'd like to see if i can have this pulled off without.

Does anyone have any idea's/suggestions to have a spell force it's target to go into 'bleeding out' status? ( where they fall to their knees)

Thanks for any help.

looks like i'll need to use a script. I'm at work at the moment so i can't try this. But i copied the script from SPERG perk mod 'cripple' perk and i intend to add it to the magic effect for the spell i want to cause the bleed out. Anyone foresee any problems with it working? I have no knowledge of scripting at the moment but trying to start learning what I can.

 

Scriptname SPECrippleScript extends activemagiceffect

{Plays bleedout animations.}

Idle property BleedOutStart auto
Idle property BleedOutStop auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
akTarget.PlayIdle(BleedOutStart)
EndEvent

Event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
akTarget.PlayIdle(BleedOutStop)
EndEvent
