custom spell timing issue

[ghowriter]

So i created a custom passive spell and everything works in the game except the duration. The spell duration is supposed to be two in-game hours but the game engine applied it and the active effect shows 2 hours left but it's been active well over two in-game hours. Would someone please explain how the spell duration works? Seems it runs on real hours instead of game hours and this is uncool. Thanks to all.

In skyrim 1 minute = 20 game minutes so for 2  game hours ,set the duration to 6 minutes.

Durations have always been real time, not game time.

thank you so much; this helps a lot

will it show in game a as 2 hours or 4 minutes though?

[kryten397]

Theres a global value called   TimeScale  which can be found using SSEedit or CK.I got it wrong its 20 minutes not 30. So for 2 game hours its 6 minutes

That value can be changed ,because i noticed  the mod Requiem has reduced that down to 10 minutes.

It will show in game as real time 6 minutes,not game time -2hours

things like this make the skyrim game make so sense, lol

why on Nirn would they base spell effects on real time? makes no sens to me at all...
