I'm making a mod that adds a magic effect with a "script" type.

It's working, but it isn't showing in the "Active magic effects" section.

So the question is how to make it visible in this section?

P.S. flag "Hide in UI" is unchecked.

Have the name and description fields for this magic effect got any text within them?

Posting a screen shot of your magic effect couldn't hurt.

Yes, they have.
If you can tell me how to attach an image here (not via bbcode, because I don't know where to upload it), I'll surely post it.

For now I'll describe it in words.

So it has:

And this magic effect is used by a Spell?

How are you adding the spell to the player?

Yes, it is added to a lesser power that has two effects - main power effect (which has 10 seconds duration) and this cooldown effect (which has 2 minutes duration).

How is this lesser power being added to the player? Or under which circumstances should they be affected by it?

Do you have any conditions on each of the magic effects which might be interfering with each other.

I can't see any issue with what you have posted.

I use a similar cooldown system, but i use a seperate spell for the cooldown effect.This is cast via a script when the magic effect is applied. Using this method i have no issues with the CD effect showing up in the Active Magic Effects section.

If you wish to try this method, this is the script i use to cast the cooldown effect on the player

@Antares

Lesser power is being added to the player via script.


@heilghast

Thank you very much for the idea, I'll try it.
By the way, (just to be sure that the effect will show up in Active Magic Effects) how does your cooldown magic effect look? I mean, what effect archetype it has, associated items (if any), etc.

Would you care to post the script here?

As a precaution, I always add both markers, one in the magic effect and one in the spell. So far all my spells, including scripted abilities have been appearing in the UI.

@Antares

It's one of the vanilla vampire's powers, so I think it isn't the script's problem (because I didn't touch it). Magic effect is working (you can't recast the power during cooldown effect), it just isn't showing up, and I would like to see the cooldown duration in seconds in Active Magic Effects section.

@Terra Nova

Do you mean "menu display object - MagicHatMarker" in effect's settings?

By the way, all the werewolf abilities that I've added via script are showing correclty, but this power's cooldown is not (haven't tested heilghast's method yet, because steam had updated my Skyrim and my mod requires Update.esm. I think I'll make a little mod that only adds the cooldown spell via script for testing).

This is how i have my effect set up

Yes.

And I never been able to get cooldowns to show up(tried that long time ago). An idea I had that I never worked on was to try setting it as message displayed via script. Definitely try it. I'm almost positive it'll work.

@Terra Nova

Thanks. I think my magic effect haven't showed up because it doesn't have an attached script.

By the way, does anybody know if there is a way to disable a lesser power until a cooldown effect is removed? I mean, when someone uses a power, it becomes gray colored and it can't be equipped and used until the next day.

I have tried searching for the same method of implementing cooldowns on normal spells, but i suspect its something that can't be done within the CK.

Looks like its hardcoded, isn't it?
Maybe there is a papyrus command that can do such a thing?
