Adding created shout into game?

[Roadkillpigeon]

I'm new to creation kit and I just made a new shout and when I try to search for it through the console nothing comes up. However, when I search the three separate spells I used to make up the shout those come up, but they're spells and I can't even use them. I can't seem to find any tutorials on how to add shouts into the game anywhere, so help would be appreciated.

First thing I would do is set up the spell effect and the spell, and test it as a spell in game (using the console player.addspell <spellID>) just to make sure it works.

 

Then to make it into a shout it's a little more fiddly, first make sure it's a voice power spell, but you can leave the casting as "eitherhand", as it doesn't affect it.

Next you need your 3 words or you won't be able to unlock it with a soul in game, so duplicate some existing words and rename them whatever 1, 2 and 3, make sure you've got something written in the name field for each.

Then you can set the shout, which will give you options for 3 words, set word 1 as your first word, and the effect to your effect. now you can leave the others blank (NONE) or add further words and effects.

To test in game use the console command "player.teachword <wordID>" which you can then find on your shouts menu and unlock (use "player.setav dragonsouls 1" to add a soul if you need one).

I've already tested out the individual spells, and they work. But where do I find the word ids for my new shout?

[Ainulindale]

type "help <name of your shout> 4" into the console and it'll show the ID (other people say use 1, 2 or 3 instead of the 4 so try those if 4 doesn't work)

Alright, so when I find my shout and add it with console, i get it but there are no words of power. I tried searching for the words with the help command and it came up with the spells I used to make the shout but it won't let me add them with addword. Are the word ids supposed to be found with the help command?

[Ainulindale]

the command should be "player.teachword <wordID>"

alright, so whenever i use 'help' in the console to search for my shout and the words of power i used i get the shout and the three spells i used to make it. I am able to add the shout to my character but there are no words when I do that. When i try to use teachshout it says that it is an "INvalid Word of Power ... for paramater Word of Power. is there something else I have to do to find the words for my shout?
