This consists of two scripts. The first, 'ms_ondam_jump goes on a flying creatures OnDamaged script slot. The second, 'jumpfighting' just sits in the scripts pallette. The script fires the first time (and the first time only) when a PC damages the creature. The script will then make the creature 'fly' to the PC's location and engage in combat.
Here, i fixed the bungee effect by lessening the time of the effectdisappear function. but it's still not smooth enough, and the other problem, where the PC starts out standing before the landing effect happens is still present. hope anyone here can help.

I am not much of a scripter, but from what I could see, I think this has a lot of potential. Especially if you could add on to it so that the Crush attack for older (larger) dragons could be implemented into your script. Just something to think about.

For the flying snakes I made, I put it on perception, similar to yours, so when they first see the pc they will fly to them and attack. Also I have an ondamaged where they will fly away after wounded a certain amount.
I decided on the OnDamaged slot over the on attacked, basically 'cos when the creature is first attacked it will become aware of the PC, I'm guessing in normal gameplay the PC will think herself pretty clever, picking-off the creature from distance. It's only when they get hurt that the actually fly t the PC. Hopefully this will take the PC by surprise...

The script should go on OnDistirbed (or OnAttacked but i can't remember if this event exist) rather than OnDamaged otherwise the monster just stands there until you actually damage them which is a bit odd.
This is a greatr script and it looks really cool!

I forgot to mention, the d/l includes a mod to show the effect in atction with a selection of creatures. Just to note, the effect doesn't work on all creature models, I'm going to work on a list, but if anyone know which creatures have the DisappearAppear animations it would be a great help.
BTW, works excellently with the Harpy...
