Perk Entry Point

A list of all the perk entry points.

Math functions

These functions are typically available on entry points that modify floating-point values.

Set Value

Sets the value to a specific constant. value = X

Add Value

Add a constant (which can be negative) to the value. value = value + x

Multiply Value

Multiply the value by a constant. value = value * x

Add Range to Value

Add a random number in a specified range to the value. value = value + Random( X, Y )

Add Actor Value Mult

Add a specified Actor Value, multiplied by a constant, to the value. value = value + Actor Value X * Y

Set to Actor Value Mult

Set the value to a specified Actor value multiplied by a constant. value = Actor Value X * Y

Multiply Actor Value Mult

Multiply the value by the result of the specified Actor Value and by a constant. value = value * Actor Value X * Y

Multiply 1 + Actor Value Mult

Multiply the value by the result of 1 plus the product of the specified Actor Value and a constant. value = value * ( 1 + Actor Value X * Y )

Absolute Value

Set the value to its absolute value (so that it is non-negative). value = abs( value )

Negative Absolute Value

Set the value to the negative of its absolute value (so that it is always negative). value = -abs( value )

Entry Points

These are the Perk Entry Points used by human Actors.

Entry Point	Description
Activate	Adds a new choice to show in addition to the normal activation prompt Button Label: The button text for the new choice. Run Immediately: If checked, there is no selection menu. This is run in addition to the default activation. Replace Default: This is run in place of the default activation. Apply Spell: The contact spell to apply to the target. Script fragment has parameters: akTargetRef: the object reference that was activated. akActor: the actor that did the activation (perk owner).
Add Leveled List On Death	Add Leveled List: The specified LeveledItem list to add to the target upon death.
Apply Bashing Spell	Applies a spell to the target when the perk owner successfully bashes him/her (with a shield or weapon). Does not appear to work in Fallout 4, and is not used by any vanilla perks. As of Skyrim, the spell archetype must be Fire and Forget - Contact, Constant Effect - Contact, or Constant Effect - Self
Apply Bloody Mess Spell	Applies a spell (to whom?) when the perk owner successfully triggers the Bloody Mess effect upon killing an enemy.
Apply Combat Hit Spell	Applies a spell to the target when the perk owner successfully hits him/her in combat. In a change from Skyrim, bullets count as hits for the purpose of this entry point.
Apply Reanimate Spell	Applies a spell to all actors reanimated by the perk owner. (However, see talk page) As of Skyrim, the spell archetype must be Fire and Forget - Contact, Constant Effect - Contact, or Constant Effect - Self
Apply Sneaking Spell	Applies a spell to the owner while sneaking. Beothia's Ebony Mail is a good example of this. As of Skyrim, the spell archetype must be Fire and Forget - Contact, Constant Effect - Contact, or Constant Effect - Self

Mod Addiction Chance	Modifies the chance that the perk owner will develop an addiction when taking a chem.

Alternatively, a perk can modify the chance for all chems, as seen in "PA_BloodCleanser".
