keegars Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Recently been seeing mods trying to make players turn into Dragons and been making progress with my own mod to incorporate it with more depth. The idea is: A person is able to morph into a Dragon at will, but only in exteriors.Able to summon/bring with them a little dragon companion (thinking maybe 2) with full waiting/wandering and can also go indoors. Also able to access inventory so can be a pack mules for you aswell.You won't be able to access your main menu whilst being a dragon, just for immersion, but you can easily just change back and forth maybe a time delay for balance?You'd be able to fly (still need to implement but got a rough idea on how to do this and actually make it work)Also maybe swim, such as the sea or ocean (animation wise, still only an idea)Breathe fire/fireballs, also chomp enemies. Before I get fully on the go with this mod, i'm just wondering how many people would actually be interested in a mod like this? And any ideas on what people would like to see of this mod? I will remind you though, it will be my first official mod, so benefit of the doubt and nice comments please :D [Edit] Oh also, later on if the mod gets rolling and enough interest i'll be making a full questline, making the morph a challenge to get along with your lil pal, but hopefully well worth it.

expired6978 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I've made a mod that transforms my follower into a dragon... Never tried it for my player because I really have no idea how it would handle in terms of animations and controls... There are very few animations for dragons. Not really sure where I would start in making my character move on three axis and staying there without gravity.

keegars Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 You'd be surprised, there are quite a few animations with what i've seen in the creation kit for dragons and as for implementing them into the game....with what i've been doing and a few ideas i'll have it working. If Bethesda managed to make a dragon mount mod, then im sure its more than possible and the mechanics for the player just needs tweaked abit to make the dragon move and respond right.

Galacticat42 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 @keegarsPerhaps you'd be interested in joining Dragonborn Legacy? We're currently in search of new team members. We have a shout that will have a Dragon transformation which is currently just sitting on the back burner while I set up all the perks pertaining to Dovah / Thu'um powers.

keegars Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Got abit further today with it, attack animations are working fine, walking and moving about as a dragon, turning into it and back also work. Just been messing about with the flying....it seems to be a no go until i can figure out either how to make the take off event stop crashing everytime you run the animation, or actually finding out how to script papyrus to run animations. Just seems to be that after the animation is ran, the dragons go on predetermined tracks/ai driven and not controlable. Until I can edit the animations themselves or add my own....flying wont be happening :( And for now, i think i'll work on this mod for now seeing as i am relatively new to modding (but have been on the mod scene since oblivion! :D) but once i can get the majority of the dragon working i would gladly join, just so i have something to show to the team :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porroone Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 So, let me get this straight are u trying to make the dragon fly without even touching papyrus, how ?? ive been trying to do a flying mount myself and got stuck on getting the player x-plane and z-plane, I only seem to be able to get those from the dragon, and the dragon only likes to move in the z-plane, so am I going insane here trying to get it done with papyrus when it can be done in another way ??

Galacticat42 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 @keegars If you can get the transformations done I can script the flight. I already have an algorithm set up and need only the actual spell to write out and test it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keegars Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 @Budz42 Right, sorry that it's taken awhile to reply.....laptop ran outta power.....lost the script i was working on -.- but managed to get it back to before. The Transformation works, no special effects yet but that can be added in later. Just had abit of trouble trying to store the race...couldnt use a globalvariable as its only numbers...and wanted it to work incase someone used a custom race aswell, but managed to make a nifty little work around it i do say so myself :D....probrably couldve been done better. Would you like me to PM you the .esp? And i'll explain what I done in the PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackalhead Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Check out my tutorials in my signature. I already made a mod that lets you morph into every single type of dragon as well as every other monster in the game. I don't have it so it summons dragon companions with you though.
