Re-summoning Creatures

[archimode92]

Hello,

I got a question, i would like to know how i can script an item so it resummons creatures. Like there is a quest in Leyawin where you get a Staff of the Everscamp, this Staff made 4 (ever)scamps follow you and if one got killed, a few seconds later another one appeard to take it's place. I found this very usefull to train my combat skills and my Destruction skill. Yet i finished the quest and lost the Staff and so i wonder can i make such a staff myself?

I would probably start by looking at the script that the staff uses. If it is something that checks if it is in player inventory, and is active only durring that phase, you could probably just apply the script to another item. If, could just copy the part that controls the scamps (leaving out the quest checks) onto a new script which you attach to an item. Once you have the mechanics worked out, you should be able to piece a script together. The CS wiki is very useful for this... And in the process, you learn a bit about scripting yourself.

I tried scripting a ring with almost the exact same script as the staff, but that didn't work. I also tried an enchantment of summonin 4 scamps with a ring but the scamps didn't ever apear, so i guess it's back to resurrecting rats and goblins.

 

P.S.: if anyone has created/is creating a respawn-creatures mod: Let me know!

Thanks for making that Sheperd Ring, guess i'll not need to bother any rats or goblins.

Glad you saw it. I was just about to post. It may not be exactly what you want, but the framework is certainly there to use it with something you can just beat on. Let me know how it works. I only got around to some light testing.
