Looking for script to cast a spell from the sky that will fall on the ground wherever the character aims

[link182]

So, I’m awful at script, I can just about get by with simple stuff by copying and pasting what’s in vanilla, and kind of understand why it functions, but that’s it. I’ve tried to do my homework, and I’ve asked in a couple other places, but I think going into as much detail about what I’m trying to do, and where I’m stuck is the only way I can progress here, so I’ll explain what I’m going for to start with, and if anyone can help with this in any way it would make my day.

 

 

My aim is for a scenario like this: your playing Skyrim, you see an enemy camp about a minute walk away, you equip an explosion spell and aim it at the camp, a spell is cast down from the sky at wherever you aimed, and all the enemies are gone.

The main difference between how say the meteor dragon shout in vanilla, and mine would work is that the meteor dragon shout hits random places within a set radius, and not a defined location decided on cast. Looking at the script that does the storm shouts shows me it’s invoked by making it the equivalent of weather, and from what I can tell, either casting a spell, or a world projectile of sorts.

 

 

I say either or because I’m unsure, there’s definitely spell for dragon meteor in the files, but it doesn’t seem to be called on by the script from what I could tell, and it’s throwing me for a loop.

 

Also, I can’t figure out how actually tell the game to fire where I’m wanting to fire the spell from, I assume I can use a co-ordinate for the hight, but how would I actually make it decide the drop location based on where I cast the spell?

 

I can’t use anything like a script extender because I intend to put this on Xbox one day, but anything else is basically fair game. If anyone can help me accomplish this goal I would be eternally grateful.

You should probably be asking about this on one or more of the dedicated Skyrim forums.  Go to 'Game Communities' under 'Browse' at the top of the page, then scroll down/search for Skyrim.  It is usually close to the top.  Join each forum you wish to post in.

That said, there is Astral Magic 2 ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/69938 ) that already has something like you want, and I think that it adds a staff that can be repaired to working order that casts the 'doom from the sky' that might be what you are looking for.

Ah, wasn’t 100% sure which was the correct form since it sort of felt like a request, thank you for the mod rec, I’ll take a look

It's not a problem, really, you should just have a better chance of good responses there.  Good luck!
