Akkikiri Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 OK, I tried following this tutorial here: :rolleyes: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Scripting_Tutorial:_Summoned_Creatures The creature I was trying to summon was a spider made with this: :whistling: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18709 I should probably note that I tried making this into a Power for my custom race (like the Ancestor Guardian for Dunmer), not a standard spell. :unsure: Anyway, I can't find anything I did wrong with the script, but when I summon the spider, it always goes unconscious (yeah, I made it essential) as soon as it's called, and it's always invisible! :wallbash: HELP ME PLEASE. I just don't get it. I made a spider with these textures before, and it went fine (i'm having slight issues with their combat, but that's not important). Now this one JUST-WON'T-WORK. Any insight? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 My guess is that you have the spider's max HP as 0... If a creature's max HP is 0, then it spawns as a dead creature. But since it's essential, it can't really die, just go unconscious. The script sets the creature as translucent when it's dead. So since the creature spawns as already dead, it's invisible the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into that right now. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkikiri Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Damn! It's not working. :confused: I looked and can't find any spot to put "max" HP. Just a box that saysHealth. I set his health to 3000, and he still turns up unconscious! Got any more thorough help? I mean, which box and where is it? The spider is a "Creature" type, and there is no PC level offset. I just don't see any area in which to put his "max HP". Sorry. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The box that says "Health" is the max health. Since you say that doesn't fix it, I have no idea what the problem is... I mean, if your creature turns up unconscious whenever you summon it, the only reason I can think of is that it has 0 health. Have you tried opening up the console in the game to check your creature's HP with "GetAV Health" and "GetBaseAV Health"? Perhaps you should try out making a summoned rat like in the tutorial first?

Good point. :sweat: I'll definitely give that a try, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
