Fix Bound Weapon Soul Stealer Animation?


Endrynn

Recommended Posts

With the Soul Stealer perk, which automatically causes a bound weapon to cast soul trap, there is no soul trap animation (thunderclap and purple absorb effect) when the enemy dies--the soul is just quietly absorbed.

 

Since the animation plays correctly for both the regular spell and for normal weapons enchanted with the soul trap effect, it seems like it should be simple to fix this, but I have no idea how.

 

So the request is this: Make bound weapons with the soul stealer perk play the soul trap animation when absorbing souls.

 

Does anyone know how to do this, or does a fix for this already exist? Or am I the only one experiencing this glitch?

It is a very easy fix. Open your CK, use your filter to find PerkSoulStealerFFContact magic effect. Once you open it, add the built-in script "magicsoultrapfxscript", open SoulTrapFFActor magic effect, it already has "magicsoultrapfxscript". Copy all property attributes from that script to your PerkSoulStealerFFContact newly added "magicsoultrapfxscript". That's done it.

Excellent. I'm obviously very new at this.

 

That seems to have done it for the most part. However, I'd say it only executes the animation around half the time. That's tolerable I suppose, but any idea why this might be the case?

In the PerkSoulStealerFFContact, look for Effect Archetype. It is currently set to Soul Trap, now set it to Script. That should fix it. This problem is because the "magicsoultrapfxscript" script's attempt to soul trap target and play the animation is overwritten by the effect of the spell, which also attempt to soul trap but without playing animation. I thought leaving the Effect Archetype unchanged would be OK, I was wrong.

(sorry my bad english) Here the mod that fixes this annoying bug, the person who did it deserves an applause because nobody here who commented and knows how to do (people of the above publications) did not have the shame in the face of posting a modification to help people like me who do not understand how to do the script manually.
