Hey guys.

Been trying to modify my unarmed combat damage to just increase by a certain amount everytime I level up, and I am getting some weird results and Im at my wits end trying to figure out what is going on.

What I did is add the following script to the Khajit magic effect racial "RaceKhajiitUnarmedDamage" since that effect is always on, and tried to have the script activate everytime the effect started, which I assume is everytime I load a game or start a saved file. Then I wanted it to add a certain amount of damage each time I levelled up. I have it set at 1, but that seems a bit excessive for now.



Scriptname Unarmed_Scaling extends activemagiceffect
{Makes unarmed damage scale with level}

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akcaster)
Game.GetPlayer().ModActorValue("unarmedDamage", (1+(game.getPlayer().getlevel())))
endEvent

Event OnStoryIncreaseLevel(int aiNewLevel)
game.Getplayer().ModActorValue("unarmedDamage", 1)
endEvent
MagicEffect Property Melee Auto

Ok so first time I started the game, it seemed to work.
The base damage for Khajiti is 22.
At level one in the console I typed in player.getAV unarmeddamage and I got a value of : 24 returned.

Ok here is my problem, as I understand it, the ModActorValue should only modify the base right? For some reason my unarmeddamage skyrocted to 89 now. If I remove the mod, and I check my unarmed damage its still 89!

Ive tried changing the ModActorValue part to SetActorValue and just passing it an absolute number to start off from, like 22. But when I load up and check it, my unarmeddamage is still 89.

Im confused about how ModActorValue and SetActorValue work, and wether the Event OnEffectStart is working at all or in the way Im thinking its working?

Thanks.
