Miraak's sword tentacle effect on other weapons and diffrent texture (noob edition)

[DrDaisT]

This is the first time that I am using the Nexus Forums so I have no idea if am writing in the right place or not. I have however looked if someone else already have asked this and gotten an answer but I couldn't find any such post but that can simply be me being completely blind, wouldn't be the first time :smile:. And please don't rage to much about my spelling or grammar, while I have no real problem understanding it, English is not my first language and good old dyslexia doesn't help either... (or you can rage as much as you want and I simply ignore you, but that just seams unnecessary).

 

Now enough rambling and on to my problem:

 

I have just started to play around with SSEEdit and have been trying to put the tentacle effect from Miraak's sword (the ones that come out when you swing it.. or is it only when you hit something? It doesn't really matter) on another weapon but can't figure it out. I do not know if that effect is part of the enchantment or something else. I have tried moving just the enchantment but that did not seam to work. I would also interested in changing the texture (or simply modifying the existing one) of those tentacles to one with another color without changing those on the original Miraak's sword. I don't know if it is possible to do this using only SSEEdit + image editing software but that would be preferable.

Another cool bonus is if I could make it so that the effect only appears if certain conditions are met, much like the "wielder is vampire" condition on Harkon's sword. This last part is on if it is relatively easy to do since i do not want to put to much effort into something that is unnecessary since I would only use that weapon if I meat those conditions anyway. If the effect IS part of the enchantment and I am simply doing something wrong when trying to move it, it is very easy to do.

 

If you are wondering what I am trying to do, I want to put that tentacle effect on Harkon's sword but I want them to look like they are made out of blood (because why not?) instead of [insert weird substance here] and the condition to trigger it (if possible) would simply be "wielder is vampire", much like the ones that are already there on the enchantment.

 

Thanks in advance!
