[Bard Songs Input]

Thanks for the feedback. I had a feeling about changing all of the animations. I'll keep messing around with it, and maybe just settle for powers instead of spells.

[Bard Songs Input]

Greetings!

 

Here's what I'm trying to do:

 

I want to create a Bard class in Skyrim that uses songs and musical instruments in place of actual spells (similar to Everquest's Bard class [minus the "twisting."]) I'm running into trouble when I try to either replace or work around spell casting animation. I am able to get the music to play, and the actual spell effect to function, but I can't get my character to stop the spell equip, charge, and release animation.

 

The only success I've had is when I label the spell as a power or ability, instead of an actual spell. I was able to script taking out an instrument, playing it for 3 seconds, having the spell effect go off, then putting the instrument away.

 

Is there anyway to do this with spells? If I could simply swap spell casting animations with other animations, I would be set! Is this possible?

 

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this. I love Skyrim and truly enjoy modding, but This has caused me a great deal of frustration.
