how do i make the spell from the bullet time mod (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20383) have a time limit? i.e. deactivate after "x" seconds

go to construction set. Activate both this mod and the oblivion master file, and set the actual mod as the "active" file. When it loads, look for the spell you're talking about in the list, and you can click on it and change various options on the spell.

yeah, but the spell isn't really a spell...i mean sure you cast it, but its a script. i need to change the script to make it have a time limit but i dont know how. the script looks like so:

 

Scriptname Focustoggle

 

Begin ScriptEffectStart

 

 

If ( player.IsSpellTarget focuson == 0 )

player.addSpell focuson

else

player.removeSpell focuson

con_SetIniSetting "fGlobalTimeMultiplier:General" 1.0000

con_SetCameraFOV 75

Message "You lose Focus"

endif

 

End

 

do i edit "focuson" ? or the script itself?

Scripts have their own time limit, however that one doesn't remove the bullet time until you re-cast it.

The time limit it currently has as a spell (not the bullet-time, just this script) is controlled at where the script is assigned at the Spell-effect window. It'll have a position called 'duration'. Modifying that one decides how long the spell/script last. As there are probably 2 scripts I reckon it's needed to run this one first before the other.

 

To time this one you'll need it'll be easy to fix. Lets say you've set the duration at 30 at the spell, then you would use this to ensure it'll be disabled on command or after 30 seconds.:

 

Scriptname Focustoggle

short done

Begin ScriptEffectStart
If ( player.IsSpellTarget focuson == 0 )
	player.addSpell focuson
	set done to 1
else
	player.removeSpell focuson
	con_SetIniSetting "fGlobalTimeMultiplier:General" 1.0000
	con_SetCameraFOV 75
	Message "You lose Focus"
	set done to 2
endif
End

Begin ScriptefectEnd
if done == 1
	player.removeSpell focuson
	con_SetIniSetting "fGlobalTimeMultiplier:General" 1.0000
	con_SetCameraFOV 75
	Message "You lose Focus"
endif
End

 

I can't test it at the moment, but it should work.

it worked. thank you! you have my kudos --all i had to do what change one line to scripteffectfinish instead of end. i have one more question: how can i use the set eye command from obse in this script to change my eyes during the duration of the spell and change them back after? kind of similar to this mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19641

[Pronam]

I guess that'll require some OBSE. I think you could use CompareModelPath to check the current set of eyes and SetModelPath to change them or something...

I'm not common with them though :). You might want to go to the official forums for this one.

grmbf is our specialist here on nexus though, maybe he'll pass by this topic.

The problem with using SetEyes is that you must restart the game for the changes to become visible.

 

So even though doing this is pretty easy, it's not very practical.

[kidwitthafro]

The construction set wiki says that there is a vampirism hack that allows you to bypass the necessity to reload: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/SetEyes i believe the mod i listed before uses the hack as well...

here's what he does:

 

scn aaSharinganlv1Uchiha1script

 

ref self

ref eye

ref eyes

ref race

 

begin scripteffectstart

 

set self to getself

set eyes to self.geteyes

set race to player.getrace

 

if race == UchihaClan

self.addspellns aasharinganlv1uchihaab

else

self.addspellns aasharinganlv1ab

endif

 

if eyes != Sharingan.oldeyes

if eyes == aaeyessharingan1

elseif eyes == aaeyessharingan2

elseif eyes == aaeyessharingan3

elseif eyes == aaeyessharinganipno

elseif eyes == 0

else

set Sharingan.oldeyes to eyes

endif

endif

 

set eye to aaeyessharingan1

self.seteyes eye

player.addspellns aavampirism

self.removespellns aasharinganipnouchihaab

self.removespellns aasharinganipnoab

self.removespellns aasharinganbanish

self.removespellns aaAmaterasu

self.removespellns aatsukuyomi

self.removespellns aasummonninetailfox

self.removespellns aasharinganlv2uchihaab

self.removespellns aasharinganlv3uchihaab

self.removespellns aasharinganlv2ab

self.removespellns aasharinganlv3ab

 

end

 

 

begin scripteffectfinish

 

player.removespellns aavampirism

 

I'm trying to incorporate something like this into the bullet time spell (that works with a time limit now! whoohoo) but with my own custom made eye textures
