LE Lesser Power Spell

[Mikeysoft]

Hi,

 

I've been a non-active member for about 6 years or so and this is my first post. I tried to get into modding back then and for a while, I learned quite a bit. I haven't forgotten it all lol, but I'm stumped on a personal mod.

 

I've watched pretty much every tutorial I could find here and on other sites like YouTube etc. and there are little bits and pieces in the tutorials that I think would work, but for the life of me, I just can't wrap my head around everything they're saying--even when rewatching the videos multiple times and reading text tutorials with pictures. I've also tried looking at other mods' scripts to get an idea, but that didn't quite work. The mods I was looking at to try to learn from just had too many more features and things going on in their mod than what I was looking to do and I just couldn't get my mod working.

 

I'm a visual learner and while the tutorials with pictures and video helped quite a bit, I just don't know how to take those bits and pieces in each tutorial and combine them together. I've been trying to figure this out for almost a month now lol. I'm sure one of you vets/regulars could probably do it in 15-20 minutes. That's a bit depressing lol, but there are obviously people better at things than others and I don't seem to be grasping certain concepts.

 

Anyway, on to my request.

 

I'm looking to make a mod that:

 

 

_is a lesser power that can be toggled on & off at my leisure.

 

_the lesser power creates four small orbs in an X pattern above my character's head, shoulder width apart, and that lasts until I deactivate the lesser power. Once I deactivate the power, I'd like the orbs to vanish until I use the power again

 

_each orb would cast one of the following spells: Firebolt, Lightningbolt, Icy Spear and Absorb Health.

 

_I'd like all the orbs to auto target and each fire at individual enemies. If there is less than four enemies around me, I'd like the fourth orb to target the enemy that has the most health between the three.

 

_I've played many different types of characters in Skyrim and love to roleplay. I'd like to roleplay an obviously powerful mage given my request, so having said that, I'd like each spell to hurt anything--even if they're immune to it. So if you could take the resists off each spell etc., that'd be great. I'd also like to be able to edit each of the damages, firing rates and ranges of the orbs in the Creation Kit by editing the .ESP itself or modifying the Papyrus scripts and recompiling them.

 

And one more teeny, tiny, request, if you could make sure to include the source scripts with the mod, that'd be great. That's really what I'm wanting to look at aside from the other things added to the Creation Kit via the mod to make it work. Whilst I will greatly enjoy roleplaying the character I have in mind this time around, I don't want to do just that. I've spent the last two months doing a lot more tinkering in the Creation Kit and creating more basic Papyrus scripts than playing the game, lol. But I love learning, and I feel that I'll learn more seeing it all laid out properly in the Creation Kit then trying to piece together multiple bits from various tutorials online.

 

Please don't get me wrong, I have no doubt I would eventually learn how to do it and it would be very satisfying, but this time, I'm looking for someone to help me by doing the work for me and me learning from that. I know how that sounds... lol, but there it is.

 

Anyway, I want to thank you and anyone else for taking the time to read my request, and I apologize for making my post/request so long... I'm fairly sure it's not great forum etiquette.

 

I hope you guys enjoy your weekend coming up! :smile:

 

 

Sincerely,

Mike
