Does anyone know how to make the player yell/groan like they just got hit without actually hurting the player? There doesn't appear to be a sound descriptor for it, nor is there anything useful in the race forms.

The player damage (hit) dialogue is set up in a quest just like any other actor dialogue. I think you could just use http://www.creationkit.com/Say_-_ObjectReference, like so:

Game.GetPlayer().Say(Hit)

Now, I will advise that it is more efficient to make a property directed at the player, instead of using 'Game.GetPlayer()'. It's good to get in the habit of doing that instead.

Thanks AV!

I tried doing what you said, but when I define the Topic Property I can't find the "Hit" topic to assign it to in the drop down menu. I see the "Hit" topic when I look in the Dialogue window under the Combat tab, but it doesn't appear in the Property's drop-down menu. Any suggestions?

Topic Property Hit Auto

Hmm, then it depends on what they called it maybe? Try looking for PlayerHit or something to that effect? Tomorrow morning I can try looking it up for you if you haven't found it by then.

Thanks for the offer AV. It appears you can only fill Topic properties with topics in the Player Dialogue tab. None of the Combat tab topics appear in the drop-down list.

If you don't mind, I would appreciate if you can give it a second look and see if I'm missing something. Either way, thanks so much for taking the time to help me!
