LE Melee staves

[SignOfTheWolf7]

So, I've just started another game, mage character for the first time. I was a bit disappointed noticing that unlike every other RPG game that includes the use of magic, you can't use a staff to defend yourself as a normal melee weapon when enemies come too close. I did a bit of research on the Nexus and found some mods that add to the game "Axestaffs". I thought "wonderful", but turned out to be just two handed weapons that resemble staffs (no magic effect). So I wonder: is there any way to make a weapon that functions both as a staff and as a melee type? Thanks :)

i guess you could make a 2h weapon cast a spell when you press a certain hotkey.

 

getting the animation to look correct would be annoying though, and the end result would not play much differently than the hotkey casting module I have in SkyTweak.

Is that possible? Didn't know, how do I do that?

[GrimyBunyip]

you would need lots of scripts basically.

ahah I see :) thanks anyway!

This mod allows existing staves to be used in melee combat as well as for magic, but the one thing that annoys me is that it doesn't work with unique staves like the staff of magnus.
