[LE] Adding custom shouts to player automatically

[DiaborMagics]

Hello everyone,

 

For a long time I've wondered about how I can add 'stuff' to my character automatically the first time a save loads with a mod installed (for me that is always on a completely fresh game anyway, I've learned over the years not to change things midway through).

 

In my current case, I am making some custom shouts, just for fun. They are OP but they are for a dragon-humanoid 'queen' character and need to be OP, again, just for fun. But I would like to add the new words and unlock them as well, as soon as the game loads the mod for the first time.

 

I'm very bad when it comes to scripting. I have looked things up to no avail, so... can anyone please guide me?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can look at mods that make similar things.

Like AddItemMenu - this mod add items on first load.

For such type of action you need to make one-time running quest with attached script and player alias.

For adding shouts to player you can use AddShout or TeachWord scripts.

You can google 'skyrim/creation kit auto add item to player', for example. There's a template available here on Nexusmods with an included tutorial and everything. :3 That's where I started.

 

Basically you create a quest, then create a stage, then create an empty log(?) in that stage, then input your script in the field which will be something like "Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(Item1)", etc. I forgot which exact function to use for adding shouts. xD I did it before but decided to turn it into a spell instead. You should also look at 'UnlockWord' (iirc) in addition to 'AddShout' and 'TeachWord' which @azazellz mentioned.

Then my google skills must be failing me. Thank you both so much, I'll try to go from here! :D
