I've been trying to overhaul Fists of Steel by adding a script to the player which checks if the player has the perk, what weight class gauntlets they are wearing, and then calculates what the gauntlets armor rating is (so I can turn that into damage). The only problem right now is that no matter what the player's Heavy Armor (or Light Armor) is, the calculated armor rating stays the same.

For example, Daedric Gauntlets are at 20 armor when you have 15 Heavy Armor, no perks. They go up to 26 armor if you have 100 Heavy armor, no perks. My script only ever returns 20, never anything else. I'm a newbie, and this is my first script, any help would be appreciated!

You will probably live an easier life if you use SKSE for this script: http://www.creationkit.com/GetArmorRating_-_Armor.

Well, haven't looked through all the math though... but a few things stick out besides that issue.

Don't attach the script directly to the player (extends Actor). This causes compatibility issues. Create a quest (start game enabled) and create a reference alias pointing to the player. Then change your script to extend referencealias.

This one is minor, but you don't really need all those float (except for negativeheavy/light) to exist outside event. Doing that will cause your script to permanently hold those values/more memory/blah blah blah. If you declare them inside the event at the beginning, they're only temporary and will be cleared when the event ends. You can also change your Int BonusClass to a bool since it only has two states (true/false or 1/0).

Try putting in Debug Message (trace, messagebox, whatever floats your boat) to see what each calculate value is at each step. Might help debug your script.

Also you want the creation kit forum .

He uses that function, but the function only grabs the base armor rating and it's not specific to any actor's HeavyArmor rating. I think he's trying to calculate how the HeavyArmor Actor Value affects it, but his math may have gone squirrelly somewhere.

God, I can't believe I was that blind. I have no ideas, then

GetWeightClass() returns 0 for light armor, not heavy .
