Hello everyone!

I was wondering about quite a simple thing: An OnImpact() - Event. There doesn't seem to be one, and the only objects that can respond to impacts are projectiles. Now I wanted to create a powder barrel that explodes when it is shot with a sufficent amount of force, but right now I'm failing because of the abscence of such a thing. However, Skyrim seemed to do it with the FallingOilTraps, but I just can't see how they worked, neither. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nicolas

I asked the exact same thing several weeks ago and no one was able to figure it out. It must be hard coded (for the oil lamps) or the Nif has some special collision layer.

I needed it for a bottle that was thrown into the air for target practice. If the player missed the bottle it had to be disabled when it hit the ground in order for me to create a "glass breaking" effect.

The way I solved it was with polling for the x y z position and looked for when the "speed" changed drastically indicating the movement was interfered with by hitting the ground or some object such as a roof on a house.

Event OnTrapHitStart(ObjectReference akTarget, float afXVel, float afYVel, float afZVel, float afXPos, float afYPos, \float afZPos, int aeMaterial, bool abInitialHit, int aeMotionType)

Maybe this? I think your object needs a special collision layer. Should should be able to be done with nifscope if needed.
