Will this script work (using FOSE):

scn TheGordonCritEffeckScriptBegin GameMode	if IsSneaking == 1		player.SetWeaponCritEffect NONE WeapUniqueTheGordon	else		player.SetWeaponCritEffect MS13HeadExplodeSpell WeapUniqueTheGordon	endifEnd

I want that a weapon (WeapUniqueTheGordon) will cause a head explosion on a critical hit (essentialy a 1HKO), but only when out of Sneak Mode (for balance reasons). Will this work?

Bump... This is really important for my mod...

Did you just try it ingame? Often thats the easiest way to tell if it works when nobody can help you. I think that should work. The only thing is that it runs every frame, setting and resetting the crit effect, which just wastes processing power, but not much. You may want to, at a later time, redo this to optimize it, to only run when you change state, or first equip the gun.

I just wasn't sure about the SetWeaponCritEffect syntax. I'll try ASAP!

I don't think you will be able to use 'none' as a criticle effect. But you could make a criticle effect called 'none' that is just a blank script or the like to fake it.

Never mind I had the syntax wrong.

@pkleiss
I noticed that. Currently I'm using the Victory Rifle's effect as a placeholder.

Got it working. Simple code:

scn TheGordonCritEffeckScriptBegin GameMode	if player.IsSneaking == 1		player.SetWeaponCritEffect null WeapUniqueTheGordon	else		player.SetWeaponCritEffect MS13HeadExplodeSpell WeapUniqueTheGordon	endifEnd

null is a blank effect I made.

Couple things come to mind.

First if this is an effect script, you really want to stick to the three real effect script blocks. Gamemode isn't quite right.

If its a block of code you want to run just once, you put it in

begin scripteffectstart

Second thing is, IF this is REALLY a gamemode block being used in an effect script, you must build code to limit it to run once, because it'll run like 3 times. Like:

scn TheGordonCritEffeckScriptshort doonceBegin GameModeif doonce == 0     set doonce to 1	if IsSneaking == 1		player.SetWeaponCritEffect NONE WeapUniqueTheGordon	else		player.SetWeaponCritEffect MS13HeadExplodeSpell WeapUniqueTheGordon	endifendifend

You can also make a scripteffectupdate block have a one-time-run block embedded in it this way.

Even if you set NO DURATION on an effect, gamemode and scripteffectupdate blocks still get a couple of iterations in. The one that always runs once, cleanly, for me, is scripteffectstart.
