Trouble creating a new spell

[Caradas1030]

I created a new Bound Sword and Shield spell in the Construction Set, however I cannot get it in the game. I tried adding it through the console, as a PC starter spell, and to a spell merchants inventory, but I cannot get it in the game. How do I solve this issue?

 

Also, does anyone have the bounditem.nif spell effect that they could post? Despite being used in the game, I cannot for the life of me find the spell effect directory for the life of me.

Did you save your spell as an esp and activate it in obmm? If you have then acquire the spells form ID in the CS and using the in game console commands type this-

player.addspell <formId>

It will look something like this-

player.addspell 01000ce8

If that doesnt work try increasing the second digit of the form id like this-

player.addspell 02000ce8

I saved the spell as part of the .esp I pulled the equipment from.

 

I didn't know about the Form ID, as the column in the CS was collapsed completely, but even then I was unable to add it via the console.

The first 2 digits of the formID are based on when the esp loads. If the esp is your 6th mod in your load order, then the formID would start with 08.

Also, if you checked the "PC Start Spell" box, you need to uncheck it. The spell will be removed from your spell list the second it's added if the magic school it's listed under isn't one of your major skills.

The error I am getting when I try to add it via the console is:

 

Item '01002355' not found for parameter Spell Item.

Compiled script not saved!

That's because the first two digits of a FormID actually depend on your load order. This post has a lot more detail on that.

There we go. Found the right FormID and it worked fine.
