About this mod
A tag-based OnHit script that causes throwing weapons (or ammo) to return on a successful hit.
- Permissions and credits
The tag-based OnHit script below can be used in conjunction with the "Unique Power (On Hit)" item property to cause thrown weapons (axes or darts) to return on a successful hit.
The script also works on ammo, but the returning visual effect doesn't fire. Missed attacks result in the stack decreasing as usual.
Give a stack of throwing weapons or ammo the "On Hit Cast Spell: Unique Power (On Hit)" item property, give the stack a unique tag, then name the script i_itemtag_hc (where 'itemtag' is replaced with the unique tag you gave the stack).
--
// i_itemtag_hc
// Tag-based OnHit script for thrown weapons
// that return on a successful hit
void main()
{
object oItemHit = GetSpellCastItem();
if (!GetIsObjectValid(oItemHit)) return;
object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();
object oPC = GetItemPossessor(oItemHit);
location lPC = GetLocation(oPC);
location lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);
SetItemStackSize(oItemHit, GetItemStackSize(oItemHit)+1, FALSE);
SpawnItemProjectile(oTarget, oPC, lTarget, lPC, GetBaseItemType(oItemHit), PROJECTILE_PATH_TYPE_HOMING, OVERRIDE_ATTACK_RESULT_PARRIED, 0);
