Almost finished new mod - 3 Conjuration questions

Post » Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:20 pm

Hey guys, I hope all of you are doing well :D

So I've made a mod a while ago that was just for myself. Now I wanted to publish it, but first I also wanted to make it a bit better. I think I'm 95% done with it, but I'm stuck at a bunch of conjuration things right now. Maybe what I'm trying to do is impossible, I don't know.

What am I trying to do? Well, my mod adds new enemies, the 'Guardians Of Scrolls' (also the mods name). I have made a separate set of them that is summonable and that works. Attached the effect to scrolls and these NPCs can be conjured up. Thing is; they're enemies. As soon as they're conjured up (description says to use at your own peril), they are brain washed into liking you. I need them to be aggresive towards the player instead of friendly. That's the first thing I want. The second thing is, their inventories are made up from leveled lists (scrolls primarily - no kidding). However, they can also randomly get a scroll that allows them to spawn each other. Problem is, they never use these scrolls. I have used the flame thrall scroll as a base, then made it conjure up a Guardian instead and set it to 'either hand', in stead of 'both hands'. I have also removed the Ritual Effect Spell keyword, but that did not do anything either.

The third thing I want: when the conjured Guardians die, I do not want them to disappear. I want them to die and leave lootable bodies behind - the whole goal of the mod is to face these challenging Guardians and to be able to loot the scrolls off of them. I simply added the conjuring option so that the player would be able to bring the fight to himself.

So in short, I want:

- The conjured Guardians to be aggressive towards the player, even if the player summons them

- The conjured Guardians to be able to summon each other using the scrolls they sometimes obtain

- The conjured Guardians to leave behind their dead body, so that they can be looted.

If I figure these things out, my mod will be finished. I got 29 other scrolls to work properly... just these conjurable Guardians give me a headache.

Any help would be appreciated, so thanks in advance,

PS: I have never scripted anything. If that is what is required, I don't know how to do it yet (I've only had 2 Java courses in school so far and that wasn't scripting).
