[LE] NPC Werewolf Transformation

[Deleted38846565User]

Would anyone happen to know how to transform an NPC into a werewolf, similar to Farkas' scene in the companion's Quest? There doesn't seem to be much on this.

Study the C01 quest which handles Farkas'(he is referred to as the Observer) transformation. The quest script contains the functions necessary for the transformation to take place.

A couple posts down someone was asking something similar. I developed a script that works for either the player or an NPC target that has a werewolf transformation. I'm in Mobile ATM so I can't really post code format, but here's the snippet I posted before:

 

;-- Properties --------------------------------------

race property TargetsOriginalRace auto

imagespacemodifier property ChangeFX auto

race property WerewolfBeastRace auto

 

;-- Variables ---------------------------------------

 

;-- Functions ---------------------------------------

function OnEffectFinish(Actor Target, Actor Caster)

utility.Wait(5 as Float)

ChangeFX.Apply(1.00000)

Target.SetRace(TargetsOriginalRace)

endFunction

 

function OnEffectStart(Actor Target, Actor Caster)

TargetsOriginalRace = Target.GetActorBase().GetRace()

self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(Target as objectreference, "SetRace")

utility.Wait(5 as Float)

self.UnRegisterForAnimationEvent(Target as objectreference, "SetRace")

Target.SetRace(WerewolfBeastRace)

endIf

endFunction

Just in case someone is reading that in the future, I want to give a bit more details here.
