Protect NPCs From Vampire Attacks

This Mod will apply Protection status to any nearby Unique NPCs whenever random vampire attacks are triggered in towns. Protection will end once the vampires are gone.


This Mod is based on Arthmour's "When Vampires Attack", however they are likely incompatible with each other. While I like Arthmour's mod (certainly the best "vampire protection" mod I've tried), I felt it did more than was auctually neccessary. I also wanted to try my hand at modding, so I used his mod as a reference to help me understand parts of the Creation Kit. (My Mod was made from scratch and does not use Arthmour's scripts ect.)

Whenever certain random vampire encounters occur (specifically those that occur in towns), NPCs in the area that are: Unique, not Essential, with the keyword ActorTypeNPC, will become protected. Most named NPCs are unique (such as Adrianne Avenicci), generic guards and such are not unique. There are a few named NPCs that are not marked as "Unique", such as bandit leaders. Such NPCs are generally unimportant, and none that im aware of are found in towns or settlements.

Protected NPC's will not die unless killed by the player (be carefull with AoE spells like Fireball). They should still behave the same as without this mod. Protection will end when the vampires are taken care of (unless of course the NPC was already protected).

The Following "quests" will trigger protection:
DLC1EclipseAttack1 "Eclipse Attack: Gargoyles"
DLC1EclipseAttack2 "Eclipse Attack: Vampire and thralls"
DLC1EclipseAttack3 "Eclipse Attack: Vampires and Gargoyles"
DLC1EclipseAttack4 "Eclipse Attack: Death Hounds"
DLC1EclipseAttack5 "Eclipse Attack: Vampires and Death Hounds"
DLC1EclipseAttack6 "Eclipse Attack: Vampires, Gargoyles and Death Hounds (Oh, my)"

I tried to keep this mod as simple as possible, however it may not work with mods that modify the above quests.
