Making a Mod: How do you get items and spells to automatically add on startup?

[jwoltz]

I made a mod for my own personal use which adds three NPC companions to the game. They are summonable and as such, I made a spell to call them. The problem is, I can't figure out how to give (add) my Player-Character the spell automatically on game startup. I even tried the Command Console to add it by the Form ID from the CS, but the console won't accept the Form ID, so I don't know what's wrong with that either. I need help to solve both issues. I even tried using different second digit numbers for the Form ID as someone suggested, but none worked. Why? PLEASE...someone help me with these two issues! Also, in doing so, please be clear and concise, providing step-by-step instructions as I have found nothing on these problems anywhere on the web including any of the TESIV sites. A BIG THANKYOU ahead of time to anyone who can help me as I'm not really a modder!

You must use a quest script.

 

Begin gamemode

Playerref.addspellns yourspell

Stopquest npcaddquest

End

 

Create the npcaddquest quest and set the script on the quest.

 

Done.
