DICE

I wanted to create a perk which refunds a little mana sometimes once I cast my destruction spells, I got help in Nexus forum by Sjogga (he is author of Psijic teleport spells!) who provided me the initial script to get me started. And I did get it to work and I'm very pleased of how it works! I also figured out how to restore 'flat' magicka and make it scale by level, so I will post both 2 versions here. I want to thank Sjogga again for helping me out in the other forum! I didn't just want that thread to die there, and be forgotten. Instead I decided to post here what I have learned, as it might be useful to new Creation Kit users (just as myself) that are in need of a similar result 1. Create the perk. 2. Create the spell you want to trigger (or skip this step if you want to use the second script) 3. Create a Formlist of spells, which should trigger the perk. 4. Create a new quest, click on 'Quest Aliases' tab. Add the alias, set the 'Player' as reference, attach one of the scripts. And fill in the properties. 5. Open your perk again, add this quest as Perk Entry 6. Add the perk to your skill tree Note: Don't forget to set Perk Property when adding the script in Quest Aliases, or your new effect will start proccing even if you haven't picked the Perk up at the skill tree in-game. It's the only way I found to stop it from happening, I tried to add a condition to Alias but it did not work. CastChanceProcSpell This one will proc a magic effect / spell when you cast your spells in-game has 30% chance.

Hi everyone, I'm new to TESA and I'm glad I finally discovered this amazing and creative community. I haven't been in any of such communities before, but I instantly knew upon finding this from google that I should settle in here ! I love the design these forums have and all of the sections, and even the voice actors (which I think is awesome!). And the community looks to me as very open and friendly! I love modding Skyrim in Creation Kit, by no means I'm no expert at it, an apprentice perhaps . I'm creating my own version of a Magic mod which balances perks currently, I constantly play the game as a mage and whenever I feel something is out of place I'll attempt to change it in CK on the run. Lately I've also started using some basic Papyrus scripts to create some more advanced mechanics for perks and spells, but I'm still learning and got a whole new world to discover in this area! And I'm also interested a little in modelling and texturing. Thank you!
