Hi all. I am tinkering with and tweaking a custom final boss for my current mod. I was wondering if there's any way to make my boss completely invulnerable to any damage except when the player hits him with a specific weapon.

The kind of thing I am looking for is:

When struck with The Blade "Nightsbane" the boss NPC loses health as normal, when he is struck with any other weapon, magic or any other damage of any kind he does not lose any health and says something like "Your pathetic weapons are useless against me."

Does anyone know how I can achieve this by scripting or any other way????

You set the Boss invulnerable.

Then you make an enchantment and place it on the weapon.

You need to make a custom magic effect and script this.

You can not check Hostile or the spell will not work on an invulnerable actor.

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

if the target is the Boss. Set invulnerbable false.

endEvent

Event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

if the target is the Boss. Set invulnerbable true.

endEvent

You also need to add another magic effect to the enchantment that is hostel so the opponent gets angry when you strike them. Especially if you are talking about a staff.

Thanks This is what I am looking for I can add to that script to get exactly what I need. I was planning on making the weapon a sword.
