so if i understand correctly then there's no way to make flames cast for a set duration? well that's a shame, however i didn't think to try dragons breath, ill give that a try. I assume u mean the actual breath weapons the dragons use and not the shout.

I have searched the internet for a while for an answer to this with little to no help so please if you are reading this skim it over and see if you can be of any help. I am crating a mod in which i wanted to make the flames spell a lesser power. it was easy enough to do but when used it only lets out a puff and then stops. Ive also tried to edit the spell so that it fires for a set amount of time like a burst like the breath of nchauk(visage of Mzund helm) from dragonborn does but i could not get that to work either. My question is, is there anyone out there who can help me make the flames spell work as normal as a lesser power so that it fires until i let go? If that's not possible, is there anyone who knows how to make it a burst like the Breath of Nchauk? Any help would be greatly appreciated, i really want this to work.

I'm not giving up, I'm just dealing with a rough patch. if you know how i could learn and accomplish such a thing by all means I'm open to suggestions.

well thanks for the answer. i highly doubt scripting like that is easily learned so I'm kinda sad now lol. but thank you very much sir for the helpful and quick reply. this is the only topic Ive ever received a reply on lol.

Im making a mod with spells that ive made into lesser powers that cost magicka and work with perks. The only real difference between these lesser powers and spells is the equip slot. Unfortunatly even if they cost magicka the spells/lesser powers still wont grant skill xp. I was wondering if anyone out there would know of a way to fix this so it does. I would really apreceate any help on this as its really put a damper on what i consider to be a great idea.

lol well i know this thread is pretty old but to any who may have such an issue, i may have accidently found the problem. i too am working on a similiar project and it seems that if the spell would normally have a charge time (you need to hold down left or right mouse click for half a second before it can be fired off) and the charge time is set to 0.5 (which most if not all are) then for some reason it doesnt charge me any magicka. however when i change the value to 0.0 and save it, then when i use the lesser power it charges me the apropriate magicka. I think this may just be a creation kit glitch. I hope that helps solve your problem and if it does please let me know that way I know its not only me with the issue.

is there a mod that allows you to still cast magic while dualwielding weapons/sword and shield/2 handed weapon? if not then is there a mod that adds the spells as lesser powers? also on a side much less important note, is there a mod that allows you to attack while jumping/falling? and ty to anyone who tries to assist me in this search.

Im also working on a similar project and would very much like the answer to this question if anyone out there knows of a solution. I hope this gets answered soon.

well i fixed my own issue, thanx to me and only me... anyway should any other modder come across this and have the same issue, I suggest using nifskope to change the textures. turns out there was a hidden texture for the mesh that TR wasnt detecting, Bronze_e.dds, so i swapped it with the steal greatswords Shineydull_e.dds and the bronze tint went away! plus nifskope is a really nifty program.

mkay, now i have been retexturing things for about a year in oblivion. never anything too crazy mostly just recoloring the vanilla textures. ive also done some with skyrim but the dwarven greatsword for some reason gives me the strangest problem. i want to make the sword black to look more like an ebony sword with dwarven style. but even if i turn the image pitch black all it does is look like a dark bronze sword. whats even weirder is i can make the sword red, blue, pink, even rainbow but when i make the image dark it just goes to a slightly darker bronze. now when i do this with any other kind of weapon i dont have the issue which makes me think its a problem with dwarven weapons or theres somthing in the texture or mesh that im missing. im using gimp and Texture Replacer to mod the files, i doubt there the issue but ive been at this for days now so ill listen to any advice i get. please if anyone knows why this is happening let me know cuz im REALLY determined to make this sword for this mod im making.
