Summoning help?

[Nurgle's Chef]

Anyone know how to do a script to summon a NPC or creature as your conjure/pet?

Please help..... Please?

Summoning spells are basically used just like any other spell , and can be quickbar’d for quick casting.

Do you just mean normal summoning spells? Or something else from a mod?

I mean like how to make one, how to make a summoning script.

Anybody know how to make a summoning script? I have no clue where to start and Google ain't telling me anything.

Google probably isn’t providing anything because such a thing doesn’t exist in Oblivion. Summons come from spells, which require the player to buy them, and then cast them, using Magicka.

What would be the point of a ‘script’ to summon a Pet, if the player didn’t have access to decent summons spells/skill at the beginning of the game? And once they did, wouldn’t it be easier just to quickslot a certain summon spell (eg summon Zombie), with the option to change that quickslot later (to say Summon Lich)?

I’m not aware of a ‘summon script’ in any other Bethesda RPG. Can you think of a game that makes use of such a script?

Midas has conjure spells which use script, so do a few other mods. I simply want to do something like that, they use the script effect to spawn, change the AI, and despawn after a certain amount of time.

Have you checked the CS wiki?

It's old and no longer maintained but it still have a lot of info on Oblivion modding...

With a quick search in it I was able to find (amongs other hits):

https://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php?title=How_To_Create_A_Custom_NPC_Summoning_Spell

That may not be what you want, but it might have something useful for you to understand the mechanics.

EDIT: Here's another interesting tutorial:

Good luck.

Thank you very much, I only found pages that were 404ed for stuff like this!

Right, mods.

Glad to here you found the answer. :)

You're welcome! Hope you find it useful... the bad thing is all the images were lost from the WIKI some years ago and hence the only thing left it's the text... I really hope it's enough...

Sadly, if the article/tutorial was written requiring you to see an image for understanding it, it'll probably be a worthless effort :(

But anyway, good luck with your spell :)
