Vampire Lords Can Fly (With Collision)

Vampire Lords Can Fly (With Collision)

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a Flying Vampire Lord! This implementation doesn't involve the "no collision" trick or any script.

Creatures of the night, behold the mighty flying vampire!

Requirements:

- Better Jumping SE (Make sure my .ini file overwrites the .ini of this mod)

- Address Library for SKSE Plugins (And SKSE, duh)

Compatibility:

- Should be fine with everything, it doesn't touch vampire records, scripts or anything else.

• []What about collisions?

This mod is free of the "collision issues", it does NOT use that trick to work, so nothing for you to worry about. No matter if you walk or fly, enemies will move, follow you (on foot, ha! LOSERS!), shoot arrows and cast spells trying to get at you.

• []Do I need a new skeleton? Nemesis? FNIS? 

No, no and no. This mod reuses vanilla animations and has a super vanilla-friendly implementation, so none of that is needed.

• []But wait a minute, what kind of vampiric blood magic sorcery is this then?

You really want to ruin the magic, huh? TECHNICALLY, you're not flying, you're falling with style. Technical details below.

How it works:  While you are transformed into a Vampire Lord and you're using the "hovering" stance, I increase your jumping distance significantly and I allow you to jump again while on the air using Better Jumping SE. I also disable falling damage and switch the "falling while hovering" animation with the vanilla "sprinting and hovering" animation. Ta-dah! You put all of this together and you have a decent-enough "flying" Vampire Lord. You can even use your spells while "flying / falling" to have mid-air combat, but only during certain frames.

Flying is not done via scripting. The PSC I included runs only once and all it does is say hello to the game and give the player character a placeholder perk. The rest is done via SKSE + Better Jumping DLL sorcery. In terms of performance or gameplay, all this mod does is make you jump very high, so of course, NPCs, combat, collision, etc. continue working as usual.

• []Isn't flying OP? 

Well, yeah. Flying in general is kinda OP IRL too. In this mod, you CAN be shot down or torn to pieces by magic or dragons while flying, but you
