Phoenixn Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Yesterday I took time to look into the subject of levitation with good success. The way I decided to do it, is using special "transport arrows" combined with a "transport spell". Anywhere I can land an arrow, I can levitate to: Youtube video here I love this new ability. It works very well! This will be available in next version of my Dovahkiin Sanctuary - Riverwood mod. Edited March 14, 2012 by Phoenixn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixn Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 @Korodic: Yea, it is kinda like Batman's Grapple Hook @thornhunt: Speed could easily be changed (one setting). For now, I think I'll leave it the way it is and perhaps change depending on additional feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 perhaps you could make it auto-equip the spell after firing the arrow? I would imagine most people would only need to fire one then use the spell and repeat. I also second the speed idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixn Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Based on feedback in this thread, I have spent the last two days improving my levitation method with good results. Now I have a "lobber" projectile incorporated into a spell (don't need bow and arrow) as the levitation target. This overcomes several problems with my arrow + spell technique. For one, the "lobber" method prevents levitating into areas where you can fire an arrow, but the game never intended you to be. Additionally, this prevents levitating into doors and walls and getting stuck (something you can do if you levitate to an arrow location). Furthermore, the "lobber" limits how far you can "lob" upwards to a reasonable level (limits altitude). You can lob downward, but you will suffer damage as if you fell that distance. I've also limited target range to 100 feet. This means you can cross small to medium sized rivers etc. As mentioned, you cannot target 100 feet high because of lobber limits, but you can traverse 100 feet in horizontal direction. Last but not least, I've increased speed to overcome the animation "jerking" effect. Now the maximum travel time is approx 5 seconds. I'll provide a video once I get all this ready for the mod. Thanks. Edited March 13, 2012 by Phoenixn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
