How to edit scripts for spell effects

[VoxRatio88]

Hey everybody. I'm working on a custom voiced follower mod. He's a battle mage type, and I wanted to create a force push type spell that would use the unrelenting force visual effect, and sound. I also wanted him to be able to use this without knocking me or any non hostile actors over. What I did first was create a new effect for unrelentingforce3effect, or whatever its called. I then marked it as non hostile. However because of that it makes it to where it does nothing to anyone at all. (Which makes sense) So I then I tried to alter the vampiric grip spell to a fire and forget and aim category. Granted this would pull the actor to me at fist but it's a start. However this did nothing, in fact the spell wouldn't even show up in my inventory.

So I decided I could either find the piece of scripting where the player is flung by the un relenting force and try and make it to where it only effects hostile actors, or use the piece from Vampiric grip (gripactoreffect) that flings the actor back. (That way it's more controlled.)

 

I understand I could get someones permission to use their force push mod and lay my new unrelentingforce effect with it to get what I'm looking for. However I'm already using stuff from Apachi, Hothtrooper, Nicoroshi and others. I'd like to do this on my own. I'm having trouble locating where I can actually edit the script itself. So any help or recommendations would be appreciated thanks.

 

 

I intend for this follower to be interactive with the player. I want to have him giving his own 2 cents in certain quest lines. (My favorite is a spat with Ancano). I really enjoyed Jespar (I've watched Gophers Let's Play) from Enderal and like how his story tied in with the players'. So I'm hoping to achieve something like that with this mod. It's a mod I've been passionate about, and have over 300 lines of dialogue done, with more to come. So I would really appreciate help on this tiny scripting issue. Thank you.
