LE "Arrows out of Nothing"

[ApocalypticBang]

I've searched the nexus and other sites for a mod like this.

 

Basically it's a "magika" arrow where you have nothing equipped on your back but when you draw your bow a "magical" arrow forms and fires like it would a regular arrow.

 

There's a movie or something with a character that can do that, just can't remember what that movie is.

 

Anyways, I suck ass at modding and have no idea how to do so I thought I'd reach out to the modders.

Bound bow like arrows you mean?

Well you do get a Spell Tome from some Radiant Quest where you shoot arrows from your hand

 

The residents sits outside a Fort at a camp, then asks the player to infiltrate the Fort and find the Family, in the end, the Camp Leader gives you the Tome for helping them

You're thinking of Stalleo? He gives you the Detect Life tome.

Your proposition made me think about another similar mod that I would love to get :

In a french novel that you can translate as Ewilan's Quest, there is a fascinating item that would be great in Skyrim : It's called Ambarinal's glove. It is a glove that acts as an invisible bow, and shoots arrows that come out of nowhere. So a one-handed glove(more a mitt actually), that when equipped also equips an invisible bow, that draws the arrows from an invisible quiver, or even that doesn't need to draw arrows, just to bend and shoot.

 

It's quite similar to what ApocalypticBang asked, so I don't think I need to make a new thread, but I may do one if needed.

 

Also, shooting arrows from your hands is possible with the spell Spectral Arrow, that is only available via a mod, or by typing in the console : "player.additem b3165" (if it doesn't work : "player.addspell ab23d"). It was supposed to be the spell given instead of Detect Life, but bethesda changed their plans.

SPERG has a Perk that lets you do that.

So if im understanding you right, basically you want to be a MMOrpg Archer that just carries a bow and has arrows appear out of nowhere.

There are a few ways to go about this. Also, don't worry If your bad at modding, I was terrible so I didn't attempt it for a few years. Eventually I wanted some changes and now it's a hobby, and once you make that first small change that took hours of trying to figure out, you duplicate it again in your sleep when you work on a bigger mod.

 

Anyways, first method: make a new spell that uses either a preexisting arrow as it's projectile, this is done in the magic effect tab under magic.

 

Second method: Make a new enchantment. The enchantment would be a new magic effect that uses a script that basically says

 

Event OnEquip(something, something parameters)

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(BoundArrows, 20) or you could make a new type of bound arrow, or even equip normal arrows by relacing the word BoundArrows with Elven ones.

EndEvent

 

Event OnUnequip()

Game.GetPlayer.RemoveItem(BoundArrow, 20)

EndEvent

 

 

Also I would personally make the script more complex and balanced as not to spam the arrow count, for example:

 

int arrowCount

 

Event OnEquip()

arrowCount = 20 - Game.GetPlayer().GetItemCount(BoundArrow) ; This line ensures that the game only adds up to a maximum of twenty arrows, probably.

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(BoundArrow, arrowCount)

EndEvent

Since you seem to know a lot, I have a little complementary question : Is it easy to make an invisible bow ? because with what you gave and an invisible, unequippable bow, I could make easily my Ambarinal's glove. I don't need you to tell me everything, just point me a tutorial if you get one. It would be similar to the bound bow, but invisible, and auto-equipped (like the cursed ring of hircine or the rusted mace of molag bal) when you equip the gloves. I think I can easily make the script part with a bit of practice, but creating an invisible item, I have strictly no idea...
