[LE] Adding visual effects

[Droopy2016]

Hi all, still learning modding and getting better each day.

 

I made a custom amulet with blender, added texture and all....and I would like to add a visual effect to it. Like, for example, the effect around an Elder Scroll.

Is there a tutorial on that ? or maybe someone could explain the procedures, etc.

 

Thanks :)

One way you can do this is to create an "Enchantment" that it will only play the VFX on your amulet with no other fx (if you like), and add / place that enchantment on your amulet.

This can also be done through scripting, but there is no need to go into there since the dummy "Enchantment" can do this just perfectly.

Scripting the amulet would only be useful if you are trying something more specialized that the "Enchantment" by itself can not do.

Have happy modding.

I don't quite understand but what I did is create an enchantment, and added the Flame Cloak effect. Saved it and in my amulet, chosen the enchantment. Went in game and nada, nothing happens. No effect on the amulet.

 

Type : Enchantment

Casting : Constant Effect

Delivery : Self

 

on the effect is : AbAstronachCloakfire, Magnitude : 10, Duration : 10000

 

voila... I must not fully understand lollll

 

- EDIT 01 -

 

Been looking in depth of the CT. Found the atherium crown with the visual effect on it. Must be done by a .nif file ???

Tried putting visual effect in an enchantment and assigned it to my amulet, no success.

Tried many thing...still searching :)
