Jerec Skywalker Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Electric Judgment was a Force technique used by Plo Koon, and it was the light side version of Force lightning, which was a dark side power. It showed up as yellow or green energy instead of blue or white, like Force lightning. For instance, Plo Koon would shoot lightning from his fingertips to wound enemies. Other Jedi would not use it, as it resembled the Force lightning of the Sith. Luke Skywalker also used this power aboard the Yuuzhan Vong flagship during the battle against Shimrra Jamaane, in an attempt to save his niece and nephew from the Slayers; his powerful version was able to instantly kill its victim. No other Force user has been noted to generate such powerful lightning. Electric Judgment was also used by members of the New Jedi Order, but was extremely controversial among its members. I thought it would be cool if some one would be willing to make this power. It would be great for those who like force lightning but play as true Jedi. I would like to request for this to be made for both K1 and K2. I would try to do it myself but I do not have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liit Orda Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'd rate this for the first kotor. A lightside version of force lightening. That'd be awesome... then again it begs the question why not just have lighting as a neutral power instead of two powers exectly the same with different alignments. I mean, what if you were to change to the darkside or something mid-play? Even though lightening can be used by darksiders, if you've learned the lightside lightening your power would be drained...

Darthdude99 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 You could make Electric judgement have an insta-kill affect, but make it so it would cost high amounts of force energy to counter the insta-kill property. That would make things more equal. At least make do a lot of damage. Either way would be cool. Just my opinion. Great idea for a mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lit Ridl Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It looks like I saw an effect for force lightening somewhere in Kotor Tool. And entry for force lighting in visualeffects.2da . So go on with reskinng, 2da editing and little scripting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 If I remember right types of forcepowers are set in spells.2da So, making force lightning to be universal forcepower sounds to be easy. Same thing with visual effect since it's about one texture file to modify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I get the feeling that this would not be a deadly as force lightning, it may injure opponents but not kill them, I don't know why but I also think that his would also have a 'stun like' add in so it injures your opponent but then stuns them momenterally allowing the jedi time to aprehend his suspect.

Lit Ridl Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Looks like no one is working. Why? it is easy! In the end of the work you should have something like this or this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantzen Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Looking good, but do you think you can change the use icon from lightning to something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 While I can't speak for anyone else, Personally I have no idea where to begin. For starters, there are no models to HEX edit for visual effects, and the .2da doesn't list textures, so I have no idea where to put the reskin once its done...Unless you replace the existing lightning vfx, I just can't see a way...

TheMonsterOfTheIsland Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I think that it should be for both. Maybe multiple versions of Electric Judgement could be made. One could be "Electric Judgement: Stun", which would do less damage and stun the opponent. Another could be normal Electric Judgement, which would be like Darkside lightning. And the thrid could be a higer-level force power with a high cost that would do considerable damage or instant-kill if balance isn't a problem.

Liit Orda Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Actually, I retract my earlier statement. After considering what people have said about stats, I think this is a wonderful idea! I'd love to see it in kotor 1 with a high force drain leading to insta-kill! Brilliance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantzen Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I don't like the idea of instant kill, but it's up to Lit Ridl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
