effect issues

[tehfata]

hey, I'm trying to add an effect to a hat, (+10 small arms, +1 END) but I cant figure out the effects for the life of me. Do I need to script it? I dunno. I'd appreciate any help someone can give me; the modding wiki wasn't really forthcoming on this topic

You need to go under GameEffects->Object Effect and create a new Enchant. After that, simply create the item like normal and while editing the baseID you click on the Object Effect dropdown menu then locate the enchant you made.

awesome, thanks!

 

one more question to anyone out there; how do I add it to a vendor or location? I'm foggy as to that

[Khet]

If by location you mean a static location simply drag it into the render window and position it wherever you want. If it's in a container your best bet would be to make a container with a custom FormID and placing the item in the container's inventory then placing the container with the drag/drop method mentioned above.

 

To add it to an existing merchant you simply need to double click the merchant NPC, go to Merchant Container, then View Reference Container (or something along those lines). A container will be highlighted on your render window (with the XYZ lines showing). Double click that container and drag/drop your item into the container inventory. The next time the merchant's inventory is refreshed your item will appear in their list of items to sell.
