Friction-Special Edition

A small mod that allows players and NPCs to flinch when hit

Hem

Behavior editing to allow players and NPCs to flinch when hit

Pinch does not overwrite the state the actor is in, but instead applies a pseudo-addictive/pseudo-layered animation via a hybrid

It's not a perfect system as it uses a script to find when the actor has been hit, it also uses a rebooted mission system (like in Animated Armory) to find NPCs around the player, so sometimes the NPCs can't flinch, but this is a short time

Currently only works on humanoids (0_master race), it is possible to make these animations work on other creatures, but it will take a lot of time (setting up the animation rig and setting up the animation, etc.)

Players and NPCs cannot flinch before flinching, and not all states allow you to flinch, such as equipped weapons/magic, equipped unequipped/magic jumping, swimming, and staggering do not allow flinching

There are two global variables you can edit in the console to change the weather that NPCs or players can retreat into, they both default to on

"Set NPCcanFlinch to 0"

"Set PlyrcanFlinch to 0"

Install/Uninstall

Installation steps

• Download and install this mod
• Download and install Nemesis (offline link)
• Tick "Flinching Animations" in the patch list
• Run Nemesis and click "Update Engine" and wait for it to complete, then click "Start Nemesis Behavior Engine" and wait for it to complete
• You can now play the game without re-saving

Uninstall steps

• Go into an interior cell, make sure no one is hit, type "set NPCcanFlinch to 0" then "set PlyrcanFlinch to 0" into the console, then wait a second
• Save and close the game
• Uninstall in your preferred Mod Manager
• Run Nemesis and click "Update Engine" and wait for it to complete, then click "Start Nemesis Behavior Engine" and wait for it to complete
• You have now uninstalled the mod

compatibility

Both CGO and 360 Mobile Behavior can work with this

Should be compatible with SkySA

Animated Armory now has built-in support for shrinkage, you need to tick the DAR option in AA's MCM menu, or use the pure DAR version of AA

Not compatible with FNIS

Known issues

If you smash a movement key really quickly while flinching, you can retrigger the flinch animation due to how idle and motion states work in this mod

Thanks

JDM tests the system for me

Flinching

A behaviour edit that allows the player and NPC's to flinch when they're hit by something

Flinching doesn't override a state that an actor is in, it applies a pseudo addictive/pseudo layered animation via blends

Demo by JDM





It's not a perfect system as it uses scripts to find when an actor gets hit, it also uses a restarting quest system(like in Animated Armoury) to find npcs around the player, so there are times when NPCs can't be flinched but this time is short

It currently only applies to humanoids(0_master races), it's possible to get these animations to work on other creatures but that would take a lot of time (setting up animation rigs and animating etc)

Player and NPCs can not re flinch until they finished flinching and not all states allow you to be flinched, equipping weapons/magic, unequipping weapons/magic jumping, swimming and staggering for example don't allow for flinching

You can edit two global variables in the console to change weather the NPCs or the Player can flinch, they're both defaulted to on

"set NPCcanFlinch to 0"

"set PlyrcanFlinch to 0"
