[LE] Is it possible to make Lesser Powers act like shouts?

Let me start off by saying, I know I posted something similar to this in another subforum, but one, this one will have different information, two the reason I posted in the other subforum was because I forgot this one existed because I had the other one open when researching something, three, to the admins, can't you make it where users can delete their own posts... I know its possible as I've used IPB for my forums in the past. One last thing before the info, sorry if this against the rules. If it is feel free to delete it and we can all go on our merry way.

Now that that's done.

 

In the last post I asked if it was possible to add tiers to lesser powers. I did some research and turned up nothing. I'm still learning Papyrus. The other one I asked a few questions, but I'll only ask one that has two parts. Is it possible to make lesser powers act like shouts? What I mean is how they have basically tiers, three words of power and such. I don't HAVE to have this and it's not the end of the world if I don't, but basically what I want to do make it where you interact with an activator, gives one of three spells, lets say I used the tier 2 activator without tier 1 and instead of getting tier 2 you get 1. Theoretically its possible. In my mind it would be a script checking for a spell, which I know is an If statement, if it doesn't find it it switches to the else and you acquire that the spell that the else references. All well and good, I have a few theories of how the script would play out.

 

I know how ifs and elses work since papyrus isn't the first programming language I've messed with. The problem I see with that theory is it would have to check for three different spells, then have multiple ifs and elses. I don't know if that's wise with papyrus. I will do my own research and try and formulate a script. I'll post it and see if it's safe to use. I'm scared that a script with that much going on will wreck people's games. Which obviously can't happen if I'm going to release it. I'm not really sure if it will or not given the fact it doesn't run constantly. Runs once to check the spells then shuts off until another activator is activated.

 

The second part of that question, as I mentioned, if it is possible, which I imagine it is, what's the best way to do it?

 

Forgot to say: I posted another question before and it turned into a drama queen war between two people, luckily one of them is banned now. Not naming any names. My point is, if you're posting just to start something, don't. It was a hassle that I kept getting notifications, I even had some perfectly logical reasons why they should stop and they never did. I finally had to get a mod to close the post. I don't wanna go through that again, I know it's a rule and I'm not trying to break the one rule about telling people its against the rules, just save me the hassle of doing that again.
