Simple Timed Block

Description:

A simple timed block implementation. If you block within 0. 33 seconds of pressing the block key, your timed block is successful and a few things will happen:

• []Enemies around you will stagger

  []You will get a dummy spell cast onto you (this is for other authors to make use off, if you don't have a mod that makes use of this, don't worry about it)

  []Any damage and stagger will be prevented

  []A global variable will increase up to 5000 to track successful timed blocks (this is for other authors to make use off, if you don't have a mod that makes use of this, don't worry about it)

If you think the block time is too hard, there is a 0. 5 and 1. 0 second option in the FOMOD but honestly, the 1. 0 version is more or less for testing imo.

as of version 2. 1. 0, the mod makes use of SendModEvent on successful timed block. Authors can use it to make stuff happen on timed block:

Event OnInit()

RegisterForModEvent("STBL_OnTimedBlockDefender", "OnBlockSuccess")

RegisterForModEvent("STBL_OnTimedBlockAttacker", "OnBlockSuccessATK")

event OnPlayerLoadGame()

RegisterForModEvent("STBL_OnTimedBlockDefender", "OnBlockSuccess")

RegisterForModEvent("STBL_OnTimedBlockAttacker", "OnBlockSuccessATK")

function OnBlockSuccess(string eventName, string enemyID, float enemyLevel, Form sender)

;eventName is STBL_OnTimedBlockDefender

;enemyID is the formID of the enemy. it's not that reliable for runtime generated forms

;enemyLevel is the level of the enemy

:sender is the one doing the timed block. so far, that should be only the player

endfunction

function OnBlockSuccessATK(string eventName, string emptyString, float enemyLevel, Form sender)

;eventName is STBL_OnTimedBlockAttacker

;emptyString is useless and does nothing but it needs to exist

;enemyLevel is the level of the enemy

:sender is the one attacking into a timed block.

endfunction

The mod has full SKSE Menu Framework integration and provides an ingame menu for most of the settings described below.

The ingame menu comes in English and German by default but can easily be translated

[]bOnlyShieldTimedBlock: default = false

Stagger and Self Buff effects only trigger when you block with a shield[]bPerkLockTimedBlocking: default = false

Damage and Stagger prevention only happens when you have the set perk for it[*]bPerkLockStagger: default = false[/b
