If anyone would be so kind as to help a poor scripting soul out, I would appreciate it.
Here is what I'm looking for just to get me started...

A script attached to an actor that when that actor is hit by something, the script will:

1: Detect if the striking weapon has a specific keyword.

2: Detect if the struck actor is wearing armor/clothing with a certain keyword.

3: Display a message box stating if the striking weapon does have that certain keyword or not and also if the struck actor is wearing armor/clothing with a certain keyword or not. True/False or 1/0... doesn't matter.


Really basic... I'm mainly looking for the functions and syntax I need to use.

THANK YOU!!!

http://www.creationkit.com/ObjectReference.OnHit_%28Papyrus%29 is the function you're looking for.

I'm not 100% positive on how to search for a keyword (I don't think you can). If you have a finite piece of armour and you know the IDs you can check if the actor has it or is wearing it.

You can check akSource for the striking weapon (you'll need to know what type before hand. IE If I wanted to show a message if the player was hit by an iron weapon I would have this, in pseudo code:

WEAPON Property IronMace Auto "			   "		    IronSword "EtcEvent OnHit(akSource, akProjectile, etc etc)  if (akSource == IronMace) || ( akSource == IronSword) || etc	    **  || means 'OR'.	 ShowMessage(MyMessage)  <- you'll have to find the syntax for this  endif

And ShowMessage should get you started.

there is a hasKeyword() function but i cant get it working, compiler error (Although I am trying to get an akAggressor.hasKeyowrd).

but I agree that an onHit event is what you need!

Thank you both!

I managed to get an OnHit event to work in http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1349536-my-first-script-please-help/. Though I can't seem to figure out how to detect a keyword.

I thought that "HasKeyword" and "WornHasKeyword" may work similar to how they work in conditions. But I can't seem to get the syntax to play nice with me

There aren't compile errors, but I can't get the result I want in game.
