Weapon ineffective - is it possible to detect?

[HerrSvensson]

Just wondering if it is possible to detect when a character shouts "Weapon ineffective"? If it is, I plan to let my characters switch to melee weapons.

 

Also, where can I find the list of string that you use with the function DisplayStringHead?

 

Thanks.

IIRC SCS works like that. It adds a custom while-equipped proficiency to all weapons, value depending on the enchantment level, so AI can compare target's immunity with the weapon it wields.

There's probably no list. Since you can compile new strings in:

DisplayStringHead(Myself,~New "Weapon is ineffective" string~)

You can look at the strings via a tlk editor.

And you can search for them too.

You can also set strrefon=1 in the config so you can see their strref ingame.

I'm unsure if there is any list of commonly used messages (that are not used by resources but the game engine).
