Pronema Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have recently begun working on a mod that is a little more ambitious than minor world edits, nav mesh cleaning, and person bug fixes I have made since Oblivion and I have been going through other mods to see how they do things in Skyrim to help me learn. During my exploration of another mod, I wanted to know how this mod author implemented something so I could do something similar, I found that I actually can't explain how he did it. I thought maybe he was using scripts but I can't seem to find any associated with his ESP and looking at the entries for his items seems to show that they don't actually do anything, which isn't true because they work, I've used them myself. What am I missing here? Is it a basic silly thing I am overlooking? Is it a script I missed? How is the magic effect Paralyze listed on the ring with no effects when I can't find it in the drop-down box and why does it still work? How would I go about doing something similar? Did I do something only an amateur would do like not load the right plugins and that is why I can't figure out what is going on? The mod in question is Rings of Power here:https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2026?tab=description I have a screenshot below showing the Ring of Mass Paralysis, when it is worn it casts the mass paralysis spell area of effect, I want to do something similar but cast an offensive spell on the player such as being hit by a firebolt or a paralysis spell. But if you take a look at the screenshot below I can't actually see where the effects are implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VValentour Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The item uses an Enchantment that is placed on the item which is added from the Magic Effects section. Sometimes the creation kit when it's loaded a large file or in my case if it's been opened for too long will just display blank boxes.It's extremely frustrating so what I can recommend is that you close the creation kit and then reopen it. Empty Spell effects cause CTDs if you wear the ring in game and the enchantment works then it's a creation kit issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronema Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks, it's nice to know I haven't missed anything. I suspect I know which effect it's using but even reopening the creation kit isn't making it display correctly which is annoying from a new modder's perspective but I'll get over it. (There's only three paralysis effects so it has to be one of those besides it's also the one with an area effect. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
