Creating a greater power.

[TerraMcCloud]

Well, I decided to give up(For now) on making a full quest mod. Too complex for a beginner like me.

 

So I decided that I should attempt somthing more simple. Like a custom greater power. I think I can manage creating the Greater Power, but any tips on how to make a birthsign stone that you obtain the greater power from?

 

Any help would be nice. :)

Hey, don't sell yourself short. You'll never get a quest made if you think like that. ;)

 

For the stone, Make a script.

Add a Begin OnActivate block-

Have it pop up a message box saying you've got the power.

Then add a Player.PlayMagicEffectVisual *some effect* to make it look fancy.

Of course, AddSpell *your spell ID*

Then cap it off with an End

 

You should make a variable to check if you have it or not and play a message like: "I already gave you something, beat it." So you'll need to either run a Player.HasSpell or make a

counter variable that is set to 1 when activated.

 

Hope this helps. :)

is it possible to make a magic apple or somthing that the player can use to obtain this greater power? Because I can't add the doomstones apparently. :(

 

The folder that the doomstones appear in does not appear on the mesh loading thing(Cant think of what its called) in TES Construction Set.

Although I look in the same spot and find it easilly.

You most certainly can. Any object that can be activated will do. :)

Though if you want to use an inventory item instead of OnActivate you could use OnEquip, but you would need to remove the item from the players inventory with Player.removeitem *objectname* 1

...The folder that the doomstones appear in does not appear on the mesh loading thing...

 

If the issue is what I think it is then either install CSE (which will allow you to browse BSA's when selecting a mesh) or extract the game BSA's to your Data folder. CSE has so many great features that you really ought to install it in any case.

Whats a good example of a use item to gain power script?

 

Also I've already made the greater power. I just need to make the item that gives the power.

 

Also whats a good dungeon to put it in? I want the player to have to do a bit of work to get it. Not just put it in the middle of the IC like 90% of mods I see do.
