Hi all, first of all I'm really new to modding so if I miss out any important information I apologise.

Just recently I've been having a crack at making an assassin themed mod and as part of it I wanted a "Shadow Step" style ability, and knowing how useful Whirlwind Sprint can be in conjunction with the Quiet Casting perk I thought this would be a good place to start. However after first simply trying to create a new lesser power and setting the effect triggered to be VoiceWhirlwindSprint01 I quickly realised that all this did was trigger the visual effect and make the sound that usually accompanies Whirlwind sprint without actually, well, sprinting...

After looking at the form for the magic effect triggered by the shout, looking at the shout form, the words of power etc... I've realised that I am completely and utterly stuck and really need help. All the other shouts seem to have effect archetypes that suit their result, but Whirlwind Sprint has and archetype of 'script' without actually having a script attached to it.

Thank you in advance,

You'll probably need to just manually build a script for it http://www.creationkit.com/SplineTranslateTo_-_ObjectReference

Lookig at the script, I have a theory, but I can't test it myself since my game is being screwy and won't let me unlock shouts :/

Try changing the projectile on the Magic Effect to something else, lke Iron Arrow; I *think* that the Shout is converting the PC into the Projectile via some sort of hard-code... Because looking at it, that's the only thing that makes sense to me... In fact, maybe take away the Projectile entirely, and see what happens: if it doesn't work, then maybe my crazy theory is right

Well for any scripting you would need to know this:

Gameplay > Animations > ActionVoiceRelease > VoiceReleaseRoot > VoiceWhirlWindSprint ;

Under that you have

VoiceWhirlWindSprintShort

VoiceWhirlWindSprintMedium

VoiceWhirlWindSprintLong

These contain the Animation Events, you could probably use.

These wont work outside of the races they are coded a for(this my theory since I couldn't use the batsprint power outside of VL form no matter what)

Thanks for the responses, now off to get better at coding papyrus...
