Anyone figure out how to make your own Entry Points? If not, I have a

[funexplosions]

...problem. Didn't realize it'd cut off the title without a warning.

 

Hello! From reading a few threads on the issue, it appears Entry Points are hard-coded and inaccessible. This is a bummer because I'm trying to edit attack speed, which isn't included in the "Entry Point" drop-down menu.

 

If anyone knows how to make your own Entry Points, then stop reading now and please let me know.

 

 

For everyone else, here's the issue I'm having:

 

 

As a workaround for the lack of adequate Entry Points, I made my own MGEF, which feeds into my own SPEL, which feeds into my own PERK.

 

Here's all the above:

SPEL main window:http://i.imgur.com/fz3NsUc.png

SPEL effect window:http://i.imgur.com/LEA57OT.png?1

 

PERK main window:http://i.imgur.com/CAUW9Y3.png

 

There is one MGEF and 5 SPELs and 5 PERKs. There are 5 SPELs and 5 PERKs because there are five ranks of the PERK, which in-turn each need their own SPEL, because one SPEL can't update itself for the remaining 4 ranks (or can it?).

 

The attack damage effect works perfectly; not the problem (thanks to Entry Points).

The actual problem: the attack speed effect doesn't work correctly. The first rank works great, but each consecutive rank seems to be multiplying the attack speed by its current value (as in: after the first perk rank has been factored in), so I end up with a... uh... really fast attack speed. Way too fast.

 

After poking around fruitlessly, I even tried modifying SPELs 2 through 5 so they multiplied by increasingly small decimals to compensate for the apparent over-multiplication (1.05, 1.0005, etc.). That doesn't work because Creation Kit prevents you from going beyond 2 decimal places in that particular window. Plus, that's like... a really terrible way to fix the problem.

 

So, to all you modders reading this: help please. Even if you don't have the answer, I'd like to know if I'm even approaching this the correct way or if I'm doing something really stupid.

I just realized this reads like a math problem. Sorry about that.

I think you could add condition to spell effect to prevent lower perk to take effect if higher perk was taken

for example:

spell level 1: conditions: hasperk (perklevel1)=1, hasperk (perklevel2)=0, hasperk (perklevel3)=0, etc. (spell level 1 only activate if player has perklevel 1 only)

spell level 2: conditions: hasperk (perklevel2)=1, hasperk (perklevel3)=0, hasperk (perklvel4)=0, etc. (spell level 1 is disable as a result of taking the level 2 perk, spell level 2 only activate if player has perklevel1 and perklevel2 but not higher perks)

spell level 3: conditions: hasperk (perklevel3)=1, hasperk (perklevel4)= 0, etc.

etc.

etc.

Worked beautifully. I should have thought of that. Thanks!

I'll take that under advisement. Thanks.
