Tentacally Armor Idea and Question =P

So, I'm completely new to the thought of modding, just downloaded the CK and started reading wiki's a few hours ago.  My thought, was that I had a simple idea for a fun mod, but now I'm not sure if it's initially possible.  All I was going to do, is make a daedric armor that switched out the armor's mesh for the tentaccly effect that occurs when lurker's stomp you (you know, the one where you're all awkwardly covered for a moment XP).  So, I guess it would help to know where to even FIND that spell effect, but I guess I should really be asking, is it even possible to swap in a spell effect in place of an armor .nif file?

 

Thanks!

As to how to find it, you'll need to make sure the esm for Dragonborn is loaded in the CK, then probably do the usual search for keywords and hope to find it. It should probably be possible to make something like the ebony mail, with a nif that simply shows no armor at all. Not too sure about the details, but it should be possible I think.

Mmm, I've loaded the Dragonbon.esm file as one of the mod's masters (after writing in the ability to use it in the editing .ini file, thanks for that land mine Bethesda =3=). I have NO CLUE what to search for, as "tentacle" didn't seem to bring up anything >_<.  I figured that making a daedric cuirass with no graphic, then inserting the spell effect would be kinda the method that would work?

 

Any other thoughts, perhaps a direction as to the .nif file's name =?

probably by using the slow motion command and then applying the tentacle attack fx on the own character...or attacking a naked random NPC with Miraak's sword.

Okay, so here is my version of the armor. It is basically a modified Ebony Mail, as a light armor (instead of heavy) and without the muffle effect. So it will do 5 points of poison damage to nearby enemies.

 

How I did it was by using the hit shader DLC2mkTentacleFXShader.

No.  It it simply a modified Ebony Mail, so its only effect is a poison cloud which damages nearby enemies.

 

What I forgot to mention in the previous post is I did not place the armor anywhere in the game.Just use the console command "help tentacle armor" then "player.additem [the number displayed by the previous command] 1"

Awesomesauce!  However, as I am completely new to modding, I should point out that I have no idea what the hit shader is @_@

Can you make a cloth variant? thnx in advance! seems great!

 

Here, did the tweaks myself. Made it cloth, light, heavy, and 2x Light armor hax versions. 

AS WELL FIXED ARMOR APPEARANCE! YOU ARE NOW NAKED (not maniquan, so works nice for both genders), YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

 

I also added the cloth, light, and heavy to the forge under Daedric. As well as made heavy, light, and 2 hax upgradeable at the workbench. (No skill requirements)

 

I tried to give them a nice balance of armor, weight, and crafting cost. (You'll need Daedric hearts, Ebony ingots 'except cloth', and Frostbite Venoms)

 

As for the hack versions they are meant for the cheaters who have no interest in being legit so can be found in the console under tentacle like the rest.

A simple explanation is:-

-TENTACLE HAX! Has 600 armor (Max CK will let me) with normal tentacle poison cloak.

-OMG TENACLE HAX!! Has 600 armor and a stupid long range and will kill anything in spawned range that even has slightly unpleasant thoughts about you (But only if you're considered engaged, you'll see). I left the damage at 5 rather than ramping it up because of how hilarious it is to watch most enemies die before they ever get close to you (Its range is about half way between the stones and Helgan). Have fun with this one, I know I did.
