Ok so I have a working lesser power which transforms the player into a wolf and back to human. I've got a nice effect, a howl when it transforms, camera fixed up and attacks are working and only have a few remaining problems:

1.) Every time I cast the power, it is removed from my shout key and I have to go into the menu to access it again to transform back. Why is it unselected?

2.) I'd rather not have menus accessible, but are required due to problem 1. I know werewolves remove access to the menu, but what command is it? I didn't see it.

3.) I cannot jump when I am a wolf. I added a jumpaction in the actor animations behavior section (where I got the attacks added and working) but I couldn't find a wolf jumping animation in there. Do wolves never jump, or did I miss it? There are a TON of animations in the list so maybe I missed it. Just hoping someone might know how to fix this.

1) You're probably using setrace. Changing the players race unequips all "hand" items (Weapons,spells,shouts.)
2) http://www.creationkit.com/DisablePlayerControls_-_Game - Just set everything to false except abJournalTabs and abMenu. (Or just abMenu.)
3) Wolves probably don't jump. Can't really help you here, I haven't fully dissected the animations system in Skyrim yet.

EDIT: I forgot. If you are using a "werewolf" archetype spell to do your transformations, if you do not "SetBeastForm(False)" after you change their race, then you will be locked out of menus regardless of whether or not the controls are disabled.
