Console command to cripple limbs?
I am in hardcore mode, but it is glitched or something and I have like a 50-50 of my limbs healing when I sleep.

It is annoying to have to waste a ton of explosives and stimpacks (and time mainly) recrippling myself every time I sleep.

Thanks mate, now all I have to do is figure out the chest and head. Are they in the nukopedia console command section? As I didnt see them there when I looked.

Also the noises your character makes :D.


Head is "Perceptioncondition"


Ah found them, theyre in the gamebryo console page, rather than the specific FO:NV page.

I literally only just noticed but crippling yourself in this way breaks the game, the game counts you as being permanently crippled from that point on, does not allow you to heal your arms any more with the console, and does not allow you to heal any limb via doctors bags, and does not provide any of the crippled limb bonus damage even when limbs are fixed and then recrippled.

This game is a broken mess :?

Was wondering why things were taking so long to die.


So now I need a way to fix my character because I dont have a pre ♥♥♥♥ up save to go back to :D.

You spend more time fecking about with the console trying to fix broken ♥♥♥♥ in this game than you do playing the game :(

I just provided a way to fix that, permanently.
To go back, simply remove the negative sign from the number in the commands and your limbs will be back to normal.

The game didn't. You did, due to being provided with the incorrect information.

There's the total possible value and the current value. Think of it of it being a 100 gallon tank, with 100 gallons of water in it. What you did, was change the 100 gallon tank to 0 gallon tank, instead of emptying the tank of water. The correct commands are:

player.damageav leftattackcondition -100
player.damageav rightattackcondition -100
player.damageav leftmobilitycondition -100
player.damageav rightmobilitycondition -100

There's a lot of things broken in New Vegas, but this wasn't one of them.

Using console commands is always risky.

Damageav didnt work, neither did setav. Thats why I was surprised modav worked at the time, but I hadn't tried it so did.

With how this game is though, ♥♥♥♥ knows what was actually causing the issues :D. Same way modding av back to 100 didnt reliably uncripple me. Theres some wonk in this game.

Just tried GetAv, DamageAV, and RestoreAV on LeftAttackCondition and they worked just fine on my player character. Regardless of that, you broke all the healing stuff by modding the base value instead of adding a value to the damage pool. The game did exactly what you told it to do, so that bit wasn't broken.

Maybe when people do things like break quests by no-clipping past triggers and mess around with setstage commands clueless to the effects. But if you know what you're doing, then not so much.

I know this is really late but just to save anyone else from screwing their game over, possibly permanently: do not use forceav - only use modav. Forcing actor values to a specific value will make it so that nothing else will ever affect that value again. As far as I know the only way to prevent this is by making a save before forcing such values.

10/10 wonderful analogy
