Create and manually activate/deactivate powers

[Teknofobe]

What I want to do is have a few special abilities that can be turned on or off by my script. when active, I want them to show in the abilities section - like when you wear a full set of armor, a special effect will show.

 

I started by looking at a racial ability and making my own mirror ability (a spell). Then, I added it to my script.

 

Spell property mySpell auto

 

and further down, when a condition is met I want to activate the spell on the user (which grants a bonus to speechcraft)

 

Debug.Notification("My Ability Enabled")
Actor player = Game.GetPlayer()
player.AddSpell(mySpell, false)

 

In game, my character glows green as if under the effect of the spell, but it does not show in the Abilities menu. (I am using SkyUI, but I don't think that would cause an issue)

 

Since it wasn't working, I then removed my speechcraft buff and put in the exact 50% frost resistance bonus that was on the racial ability I was using as a template.

 

I have attached my sample spell for review.

 

What am I doing wrong to create an ability that I can activate/deactivate on demand?

Your spell did in fact work. It will appear in MAGIC->ACTIVE EFFECTS menu. Edited May 30, 2012 by steve40
