Creating a custom shout

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

So, I'm trying to create my first mod ever. Basically what I'm trying to do is create a shout using the "Aura Whisper" voice that at the first level, turns you invisible, second level turns you invisible and gives you detect live, and at the 3rd level, does the first 2 levels plus heals you for 100hp.

 

Here is as far as I got:

 

I made the spells for each level of the shout in the spells section, by duplicating the Aura Whisper shout and just changing the effects accordingly. I called each one VoiceInvisibility1, 2, and 3, respectively. Then I created the Shout in the shout section, calling it InvisibilityShout in the ID, and Stealth Whisper as the name. Word 1 was set to VoiceInvisibility1, word 2 to ""2, and word 3 to ""3. I then, in the Word of Power section, duplicated the words for Aura Whisper, and made added "invisshout" to the end of each, and toggled them in the InvisibilityShout settings.

 

When I load the game with the mod, I am able to teach myself the shout using the player.addshout command, and it appears in my shout menu. The description I typed for the shout is there, however, the words of power are not in the box. Also, even though I have sufficient dragonsouls and have progressed enough in the game to learn Fus, I can not unlock the shout. It just says "Dragon Souls are required to unlock shouts!"

 

What am I missing? Does it have something to do with the spells used for the shout? The words of power?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'd make sure you get credit where it's due.

I think your problem are the missing words in your shout. You can't learn a shout when it has no words that you can unlock with souls.

 

But i have no clue why they are not shown. I first have to take a look by my own.

 

Hmm, I toggled some words in the CK for the shout, but I'll go back in there and see if there is more that I have to do with it. Thanks for replying :)

 

Edit: hmm, could it be that I didn't change the "Name" in the world of power dialogue from what I copied the shout from?

 

For example, I copied "WordLaas," changed the Editor ID to "WordLaasStealthWhis" and changed the translation to mean "Vanish." But I left the "Name" the same, which is L1s, cause I don't know what that means and figured it'd be what gave me the audio for the shout.

The Name should not make a problem. But, when you made your own words for the shout, you have to teach them also.

 

 

Haha, yeah, stupid me just figured this out. My shout is almost finished. I can equip it now and the effects are working as intended (ex: first word turns me invisible, 2nd, invisible + life detect) however, my character doesn't actually say the word "Laas" in game when using the shout. I'm assuming that somewhere in the spell effect window there is a way to cause that sound to play. Any idea where?
