I'm looking for a way to cause a script to run every time the player lands a successful melee hit on any enemy, however the closest thing I can find is "OnHit", which seems to be a script placed on the actor being hit, not the aggressor (i.e. the player), so placing an OnHit script on the Player actor doesn't seem like it could work.

Is there a different event script that I can use on the aggressor of the attack or, less ideally, is there a way to apply a universal Onhit script to every creature in the game?

The Creation Kit is fun to use but when it comes to scripting I feel like I'm lost in an ocean of useless information in a leaky ship :/

I already ran a search of this forum but only came up with semi-related threads which I couldn't really get help from.

No way to do this yet really besides using an enchant or creating a custom crit effect and making crit chance 100% on the weapon.

The problem with this solution is that it overrides enchantments, and it makes criticals no longer part of the game with that weapon.

It used to be very easily doabled via script effect, but they decided (for no good reason that I can see) to change the way scripts attached to weapons work.

Started a thread earlier - haven't really got anywhere with it, but maybe you can make something of it so far:

Have some coding discussions, but can't seem to get them to trigger even though they compile correctly.
