Basic Location Damage - Special Edition

[ Requirements ]

SKSE64_2_00_06 or later

[ Description ]

Adds a lightweight angle & positional based locational damage system with the following hit locations:

Head:  High chance of instant kill on npcs,  depending on weapon, unless armor is worn. (Can be disabled)

Neck:  Instant kill or bleed-out on npcs.

Torso - Front/Back/Sides:  Side hits are the most effective target on the torso against armored opponents

Left Arm:  Chance of disarming a shield if equipped

Right Arm:  Chance of disarming weapon

Legs:  Temporarily cripple an opponent, cause a bleed-out, or stun, depending on the weapon used and the armor worn

Back Knees:  Vulnerable even when fully armored. A successful hit can cause a fatal bleed-out

Hits to the locations will have different levels of effectiveness depending on the following factors:

-weapon used

-size and mass of the opponent

-whether or not the target is wearing armor at the location

-the armor's rating

-the attack's power

A menu spell is added with the following options:

-the ability to adjust the locational damage magnitude

-disable/enable instant kills for unarmored headshots.

-disable/enable locational damage effect on the player, or npcs

-disable/enable off-hit damage reduction - lowers base weapon damage that the player does so that only locational hits have a significant effect

-disable/enable disarmed item drops - to address savegame-bloating concerns, disarmed items will be simply unequipped from the npc.

-disable/enable locational killmoves - targeting the head or torso may trigger a killmove, if the location is not armored or the armor is light and your combined melee skills are high (IF randomNumber < ((onehanded+twohanded)*0. 6)
