Searching for Higher Jumping Script : V

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:12 am

I'm searching for a script that I can attach to a pair of boots that lets the player jump higher. It's probably not that hard, but I really svck in scripting

Can someone help me/explain it to me?

Under game settings in the creation kit, there should be an fJumpHeightMin setting, which will modify jump height, but it is probably a good idea to increase the value for fJumpFallHeightMin concurrently so that the player doesn't get killed or hurt upon landing.
As for the scripting part, I can't really help you because I'm not that good with papyrus, though there are plenty of experts here.

I'd also be interested in such a script, as well as one that duplicates the water-walking spell(s) that were in Oblivion.

Can't be done, not at the moment, not without (currently) ScriptDragon (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2370) and later SKSE.

Because right now, there is just no way to change game settings via scripting.

The waterwalking magic effect is present in the game, and I am using it, but it doesn't work. I haven't looked into that, but it might be that this particular feature is not implemented in Skyrim engine-wise.

The only way to modify those is with an ESP. You can not edit them through a script. Ive tried many times many different ways. Unfortunately if you modify those directly with an ESP you modify them globally as opposed to only when the boots are worn.

Hmm, well that svcks. So there's no way to make my character jump higher without making him jump higher all the time?

Well if you setscale to a higher size, your jump (and run speed) increase. However, you look big (but are not REALLY big, since your collision box remains small) - if you don't mind looking like a big Godzilla sized Argonian (with fire breathing with the right shout, no less) or whatever...maybe someday they'll fix the collision boxes with script scaled objects/characters, but thats the only way I know of to do it through scripting.

You 'Can' modify 'JumpingBonus', its an actor value.
I have not tested if it will actually increase your jumping or not.
You can test it in the console with this command:

player.setav jumpingbonus 100

It starts at 0, so I am not sure what a value of 100 would do. If its too much or too little of a number.

it does nothing. I had it in my Vampire Leap script before I scrapped that.

I had the bonus at 1000 once and it still did nothing. Likely broken. Hopefully will get fixed.

I confirm that. I tried it myself and nothing.

I tried another approach that couldn't get working in case someone wants to play with it. The idea was getting an animation event when jumping and using pushActorAway, but it never gets inside OnAnimationEvent even when the animations seem to be registered. Not sure if the problem is with the animations chosen or with the script, since I've never worked with animations before...

Not sure if related, i get error: Unable to call UnregisterForAnimationEvent for all the calls in the OnEffectFinish event.
