Hi there,

for a mod I'm working on, I've had a request to add in a feature that makes animals run more slowly when they have been wounded. However, I don't know the first thing about scripting... I'll see what I can do if no one can help, but I figured I'd try the generosity of the community first!

I would be intensly appreciative if someone could help make a script that creates the following effect:

When a creature is reduced to 50% health, its speed is modified by -20%. When it is reduced to -80%, its speed is reduced by -40%.

This should be able to be dropped into the creatures stats in the ck, and from then on just do it's own thing. The simpler the better!

Anyone interested in helping? Happy to accept the nessessary tutoring, or the script directly.

Thanks in advance!

I originally wrote up:

Scriptname HPSlow extends Actorfloat hppEvent onLoad()If (!self.isDead())  registerForUpdate(1)endIfendEventEvent onUpdate()hpp = self.getActorValue("Health")/self.getBaseActorValue("Health")if hpp < 20  self.setActorValue("SpeedMult", 60)elseif hpp < 50  self.setActorValue("SpeedMult", 80)endifendEventEvent onDeath(Actor akKiller)UnregisterForUpdate()endEvent

but it seems that the SpeedMult doesn't do anything when modified. Has anyone gotten this to work?

Usually when you change speedmult you have to either change movement modes (e.g. sprint/walk/crouch) or change inventory weight for it to take effect. I usually just add like 0.01 to inventory weight, but i usually use spells.

COuld you find out how they do the stagger effect for human enemies on low health, and copy that, changing a couple of variables so that it affects beasts, and the efect it does?

Hmm...would using AddItem and RemoveItem work in this case?

So this script doesn't actually slow them down? They just keep on running at the same speed? If Nitor is correct and they need to change travelling mode, would it work if they were instructed to change to the stagger animation, and then they try to run on from that?

This is looking more complicated than I'd hoped!

Haven't tried it, but my guess is yes.
