I want that my weapon will drain all AP after a use in VATS, but I have no idea how to make that work. I though about using

player.ForceAV ActionPoints 0

in my script but I have no idea how to make that work after a hot in VATS. Help?

EDIT: I'm trying this script:

scn SurgicalStrikeAPDeductionScriptBegin GameModeIf IsPlayerActionActive 3 == 1	player.ForceAV ActionPoints 0EndIfEnd

Will this work?

No no no. Don't use ForceAv. From the wiki:



Just use DamageAV instead. I haven't tried any of the VATS functions myself, so I can't offer any sure fire method of doing what you ask.

EDIT: IsPlayerActionActive will return true if the player fires his weapon - which can occur without using VATS. Perhaps using what you have cobined with http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetVATSMode might work, but I dunno.

I want the effect to happen even when outside of VATS, but thanks.

If all you want is your weapon to use all action points everytime its fired, you could use the FOSE command http://fose.silverlock.org/fose_command_doc.html#SetWeaponActionPoints (SetAP) to adjust the required AP to the player's maximum Action Points stat. This would prevent the player from being able to fire twice in VATS.

I thought about that, but I also want the AP to drain when fired outside of VATS.

I don't really understand what your after then, cause you don't use AP when firing outside of VATS, so what would be the point?

To do something like this you will need to know when the player uses his weapon. The simplest way is to use the FOSE function isControlPressed 4, followed by player.DamageAV ActionPoints "desired amount". This would be best handled by a quest script as you can adjust the quest delay to control how many action points are removed each fraction of a second while the attack button is held down. You can experiment with quest delay time and how many action points to damage.

Begin GameModeif isControlPressed 4   player.DamageAV ActionPoints 1endifEnd
