Hello elder scrolls community!

Longtime fan, first time poster.

Maybe someone who knows how to make scripts / spells can help me out. I made a variant to the summon flame atronach creature, and I want it to work like a walking living bomb. I made a lesser power that costs little to nothing, added it to the creatures spell list. Every time I summon this new creature I want it to find the nearest threat, and cast the "explosion" spell, killing the creature in the process. However, the creature only seems to want to melee attack until the summon fades. I removed every other spell from it's list, so the only spell it can cast is the explosion spell.

How can I get the creature to cast what is basically an (on touch) spell and only do that?

hmmm...I am sure someone can help you out better (and if I wasn't so preoccupied at this moment I could help better than this) but, you can probably change it's combat style to "none" or a type of mage caster and then it's pirority will be to cast a spell before using physical attacks. Infact, I believe the "Necromancer" combat style is magic attack unless there is a weapon available.

I'll give that a shot and tell you what happens.
