i wanted to have a greater crit chance depending on skill level. only way i know how is to give a perk for it. say i wanted to add crit chance if the pc is using guns/energy/weapons/explosives/meleee or unarmed, what conditions should i have?

my initial thought is using GetAnimWeaponType (no idea if this is correct) but i see no way to distinguish between guns or energy weapons being used so im thinking there has to be a better way to tell what type of skill is being used for the weapon equipped. or there's GetIsUsedtemEquipType but then it has separate entries for smallguns and bigguns whereas NV has combined both

You can try with a form list, create a list with all the weapons you want to use that perk, then use GetEquipped as condition and select the list.

Maybe there is another way to do it, but this way should work.

thanks for the reply! wont bare hand to hand be a problem though? also, the only condition i found is the IsInList and IsWeaponInList ones. should it be run on the Weapon tab or the Perk Owner?

Use IsWeaponInList on the Weapon tab.

excellent! thank you!

just realized i couldve readily answered my own question just by looking at some perks in the geck :banghead:

still, i appreciate the helpfulness of those who replied

Glad you were able to figure it out, Norbingel. For future reference, if you see SmallGuns anywhere, that's what we use for Guns. If you see BigGuns, it's obsolete. For looking at weapons of a skill type, use IsWeaponSkillType (for Unarmed, this encompasses Fists). For something more eclectic (like Cowboy), you can make a formlist.

thanks for weighing in Sawyer! great to see someone from Obsidian taking time to answer even little things like this. and they say once a game group goes big, they stop caring :goodjob:

i really shouldve done a little more searching before posting but my work takes up a lot of time and that leaves little room for gaming, much more modding. anyway thanks again!
