I've been adding custom Movement data to my race and it doesn't make my character faster.

I've also tried creating a spell that uses the SpeedMult MagicEffect but it also does nothing.


I'm trying to accomplish either or of the following.

Having a lesser power or spell that mimics Whirlwind Sprint

OR

A way to simply make my character race faster while sprinting.

How can I achieve either or?

Magic Effect;

ArchType; Peak Value Modifier
Casting Type; Fire and Forget
Delivery; Self
Magic Skill: Restoration
Associated Item 1: Speed Mult

Flags;
Recover
No Area

Menu Object Display; Magic Hat Marker

The Spell;

Casting Type AND Delivery must match the types chosen in Magic Effect(in this cast Fire and Forget; Self)

In the effect field, you can choose the magic effect. Set the magnitude/duration, and you're set.


The above is how I set up mine. Visual effects and what not is up to you.

Changing the Speedmult actor value through a spell DOES work, but the game does not constantly check for an actor's new speed. The game only checks the Speedmult actor value and change speed accordingly if the player takes some action which changes movement speed (like if he starts blocking, starts or stops sprinting, etc). The game also happens to update the speed if the player's carry weight changes, so you can use a secondary effect which increases the player's carry weight by 0.01 at the start of the spell and when the spell ends reduce it by 0.01 again. Then speed will update correctly.

This is also a bug in vanilla skyrim with frost spells btw. They are supposed to slow down the player/enemies but don't do so immediately.

Oh I see. i will use this information. Thank you both.

I noticed you can turn Night Eye into a Lesser Power and then it becomes a toggle. This doesn't work with just any spell though. Is there something specific abut the Night Eye script that makes it turn off when you use the ability again?

Here is the Night Eye script for the MagicEffect Night Eye.
