Point That Somewhere Else - NPCs React to Weapons

Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7m7Hb3R38W

This mod aims to improve the way NPCs act around weapons being drawn, fired and pointed at them. NPCs will warn, draw on the player and eventually attack or flee if the player threatens them with a gun. Optionally prevent dialogue when a weapon is drawn & more! Fully configurable.

I always found it strange that you could aim a loaded rifle at someone and only be mildly or sarcastically ticked off. With this mod, the NPC will either opt to fight or flee the player and the chance of each is based on a strength-weighted calculation. Fully configurable with multiple additional features including modes where Npcs won't converse with the player if a weapon is drawn.

This is how a typical PTSE interaction plays out:

• []If the player is aiming at a valid actor, within a set distance and is detected.[/]

  []The NPC is checked against a list of excluded actors (Mostly companions) & weapons. If they are on the list, nothing happens.[/]

  []A grace period occurs equal to bTimeToAggro in the .ini,  the player can change their mind at this point.[/]

  []NPCs will draw their weapon and warn the player at this point. They may also fire a warning shot.[/]

  []An invisible (weighted - player weapon damage vs NPC) dice roll occurs to determine if the NPC is going to fight or flee in fear.[/]

  []If the NPC chooses to fight, they will become immediately hostile & attack the player[/]

  []If the NPC chooses to flee, they will run from the player.[/]

  []In either scenario they may drop their weapon in panic[/]

  []If the player does not kill the NPC, they should return to their normal docile state within a few in-game days and after the player has left the area.[/]

  Features and .ini breakdown

  This mod is fully conifgurable using the included .ini file and has several additional features in addition to the interactions described above, see the articles section of this modpage for a more detailed breakdown of the included features and .ini settings.

  A few challenges awarding small amounts of XP are added, for threatening, making NPCs flee and performing other actions enabled by this mod.

  Flee Calculations

  Fleeing is based on a capped difference between player weapon damage and NPC weapon damage with a bonus for having the Terrifying Presence perk. If you are interested in more details on how flee calculations are handled, [color=#ffff0
