Turning a follower into a flame atronach oncombat help!

[curme]

I'm a all new to this, so maybe I am missing something simple. I want my follower to turn into a flame atronach during combat.

 

Should the value be at default? When I choose autofill, it fills in AtronachFlameRace. Regardless, neither option works.

 

Is it just not possible?

 

 

 

 

Scriptname FlameOn extends Actor

 

Race Property AtronachFlameRace Auto

Race ActorRace

 

Event OnInit()

ActorRace = GetRace()

EndEvent

 

Auto State Waiting

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor actorRef, int combatState)

GoToState("Busy")

RegisterForSingleUpdate(1)

EndEvent

EndState

 

State Busy

Event OnUpdate()

if (IsInCombat() && GetRace() == ActorRace)

SetRace(AtronachFlameRace)

elseif (!IsInCombat() && GetRace() == AtronachFlameRace)

SetRace(ActorRace)

else

GoToState("Waiting")

Return

endif

RegisterForSingleUpdate(1)

EndEvent

EndState

Have you tried looking at the sheogorath wabbajack quest? In one part you have to change a storm attronach into a fire attronach with the wabbajack - there might be a script around there so you can see how it is done in vanilla

Curme, what is the problem? I just tried your script on my wifey Jordis and it worked perfectly :thumbsup:

I used autofill to fill the property, btw.

 

Edit: the Actor form that I added the script to was "HousecarlSolitude".

Thanks for confirming that I am not crazy! :tongue:

 

It must be a problem with my modded npc. I'm going to fool around with clean saves and see if I can't get it to work. Thanks!

I got it to work! The problem was I wasn't working with a clean save. A rookie mistake.

 

I just need to add some spells so she just doesn't do melee, maybe a fancy effect when she changes.

 

We'll see how that goes!

 

Thanks for testing it out for me! It helped a lot! :dance:

Now that it works, how would I add a magic effect before and after the transformation change? I think I need to add Explosion Property ExplosionIllusionDark01 Auto & PlaceAtMe(ExplosionIllusionDark01) if that is correct, where would I put it in the script?
