[REQz] I cant script, can someone make me this spell?

[ninjaseikai]

Hey, Ive been trying for weeks now trying to make a spell but i have no idea how to script. can someone make a vampire spell that reanimates the dead just like a reanimate spell, but instead reanimates them as vampires?

 

also have it added to the vampires at vampirism lvl 25 and only 25. id like it if the duration of the spell lasted a very long time. i don't need scripts for partners or for following me but feel free to add it if you do.

 

if you decide to undertake this mod and make it please let me know through e-mail. i check that way more than i check this.

Vampires in TES don't really work that way, so it would be against lore, and resurrect generally causes trouble when used in "general" situations, unless you simply want them to be generic vampires instead of retaining their former identity. The Reanimate spell effect in vanilla can't really be altered to do anything else with it, or replicated (with changes or otherwise). You can turn them into vampires-complete with AI behavior-while they're still alive with Spreading Vampirism, though. And they can be ordered to follow/wait under certain circumstances.

Shameless self-advertising, away!

alright, well forget that then, is it possible to script the reanimate spell into vampirism lvl 25 anyway, as a lesser power perhaps?

 

I already have the spreading vampirism mod. i was just looking for something to make vampires in battle with, as lesser spawns or w/e. i combine this with a zombie mod and the zombies spread much faster than i can spread my vampires so they always win>.<

Yes, all of this is perfectly possible. Don't have CS/Oblivion here, so I haven't tested it, but try:

scn PRGReanimateSpell

Begin ScriptEffectStart
 addspell VampDisease
 addspell VampireEmbraceofShadows
 addspell VampireHuntersSight
 addspell Vampirism100
 addspell Vampirism100Att
 addspell Vampirism100Skills
 set me to getself
 kill
 disable
End
Begin ScriptEffectFinish
 resurrect
 enable
 moveto me
End

alright, but where would i put this script? would i make a new spell with it? and if i do would i have to put the spell into any categories or would it just run the script like that. or do i have to go into the vampire script and add it there?

 

 

 

it seems the script doesn't work, i go into the cs and copy paste it into a new script page and it says

 

"scrptPRGReanimateSpell line 10: unknown variable to me"

 

and so it wont let me save it for use.

Ah, right, sorry (it was quick work):

scn PRGReanimateSpell

ref me

Begin ScriptEffectStart
 addspell VampDisease
 addspell VampireEmbraceofShadows
 addspell VampireHuntersSight
 addspell Vampirism100
 addspell Vampirism100Att
 addspell Vampirism100Skills
 set me to getself
 kill
 disable
End
Begin ScriptEffectFinish
 resurrect
 enable
 moveto me
End

OK so i made the spell and everything but i cant get it to show up in my menu. and like i said I know nothing about script but looking at it it looks like its a spell to reanimate myself after I the player dies. is that what it is?

It makes an NPC (living or dead) a vampire. Err, it *could* be cast on the player, but it's not limited to the player in any way. I'll upload an example.

[ninjaseikai]

haha i wanted it cast on the npc so thats good. i just saw a lot of "me;s" in the script and like i said i know nothing about it so i was just curious. im having trouble getting the spell into my inventory but thats probably my fault. ill figure it out soon enough

I created a proof-of-concept mod yesterday...

But the NPC didn't look nowhere like a vampire. (That's what ye' wanted, nay?)

 

It fighted like a vampire, had the vampire abilities/spells, etc, though. Do you want this effect, or do you want the NPC replaced with a generic vampire (possible with the NPC's clothings and apparel)?
