How to use "Detect Life" constantly?

[rafanegrortiz]

Hi, everyone. First, my appologies for my english, I'm from Argentina. Second, I found that Tweaking the Magic Effects with Skyrim Creation Kit was very useful to make constant effect spells or enchantments like invisibility for armor, fortify healt/magicka/stamina, etc. All you have to do is to make a copy of the desired magic effect, and in your new copy, change te type from concentration or fire and forget to "Constant Effect". In that way, I could possitively make new spells and enchantmens for my customs armors and weapons. So I recommend to use it wisely, because can cause bugs. Till now I haven't any bugs, but 'cause I try to make comprehensive spells and enchantments.

 

Thank you very much

Not sure if people are still interested on this but, here is a quick explanation of how the detect life / dead works and what I did on my mod to make it "constant".

 

Explanation: Detect Life/Dead is like a sonar. It throws one wave and everything it hits gets signalled for a certain amount of time.

 

Solution: Make the sonar send more waves. The idea is pretty simple. Instead of increasing the duration of the spell, make it so that the spell itself is casted over and over again until toggled off.

 

Hope this helps.
