Hi, I'm new to this place (new to forums actually as this is only second one I have joined in my life), and I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Randy.
I've been playing Oblivion for a while now and am interested in modding. I've been tinkering about with the construction set mostly and getting familiar with it. When I get some decent ideas I will attempt to make my own. But that's some way away yet, right now I'm just trying to get the basics. Which brings me to this problem:
I am trying to make my own sword mod in the Construction Set that does fire damage and magicka damage but I just can't figure out how to get my enemies to look as if they are on fire! All that happens is a black/red mist covers them (probably from the damage magicka effect) but I need to have them on fire. I set the fire duration for 5 secs also yet this doesn't seem to have any effect.
I know the Sword of the Crusader (which I can't seem to find in the CS for some reason) has fire damage and magicka damage, AND it sets enemies on fire when they are struck, but how can this be so when my custom sword doesn't work? I'm stuck.
Anyway, I won't go on too much as this is mainly an intro post (I can't seem to find the appropriate sub forum for mod troubleshooting, can someone direct me to it, again, I'm new to forums and I am overwhelmed).
I look forward to talking with you all and when I become an expert at this (fingers crossed) I look forward to giving something back to the community,
Anyhow, thanks,
Randy
