Companion Attack Key

Companion Attack Key

This was Joben's idea , The idea behind this is to take the effects of an attack spell, a spell that when cast at a target will make the companion attack them, and change it so it works when the player presses a key instead.

Notes:

This script is only basic, it works but it only checks to see if the target is eiter an NPC(actor) or a Creature. It works by picking up the target currently in the crosshair and when the key is pressed (in this case P) it tells the companion to start combat on the target


[color=#FFA500]Changes:[/color]


Change this line:


[b]let Companion	 := SimpliciaTheSlowRef[/b]


The reference used here is that of a beggar in the IC Market District, it was used for testing and was quite funny to see , Just change the [b]SimpliciaTheSlowRef[/b] to whatever your companions Reference is.


You can also make additional changes to add other checks into the script, like checking to see if the NPC is part of any evil factions for example.


Also you may change this line:


[b]let AttackKey := 25

[/b]

To change the key that needs to be pressed for the action to take place. Key codes can be found on the CS Wiki.
