Just that. I looked at all the spell effects, everything was a constant effect. I looked for "beast form" too, nothing could be found for a duration. Also typing in "Werewolf" "werewolve", "were w" into all, didn't get the results... Even just typing in "were" I could not find the results. I looked at the quest part too, no beast form duration in sight. I'm stumped, and I had no idea where to look now. If I can only find where the duration is, I should be able to make a mod with more old fashioned werewolves. Someone on the Nexus made a mod for a longer transformation, so it must be possible, but I just don't know how to locate the duration. I already know how to alter the stats, it's just that one thing.

Does anyone know where the duration for werewolf form is located?

THere's a global value for "BeastFormTimer" or something along those lines. Btw, I;m currently working on a mod aiming to overhaul werewolevs in a manner that's likely similar to yours, we have about four 3d artists, two scripters (one of which is myself), and a handful of testers and miscellanous people. I'd be open to collaberation, especially
considering how many errors my current iterations of the timing script is returning...(the LInk can be found in my signature, its a Nexus forum thread though there was a gamesas forum thread that died off.


(current iteration of the script is below if your intrested, with the error messages directly following it.)

By spell effects, did you mean the Magic Effects tab, or the Spells tab? If the former, then try looking in the latter, since it's essentially a Greater Power and those are filed (as Powers) under the Spells tab.

^ Werewolf transformation duration is defnitely done with a global, that's how the werewolf toggle worked, I know, i talked to the creator.

Is said global in the Settings tab under Gameplay? There's no Global tab so I'm not sure where to look to find them. I assumed it worked like a Power because it's once per day, thus my comment on the Spells tab.

PlayerWerewolfShiftbacktime

^ float value under global.

To find it, type in "were" or "werewolf" and pick *all* on the bottom of the tree.

I don't know if that's really what the name suggests.

What exactly are you looking for? The standard duration, or the current calculation for when to change back?

It would help to know what you're trying to do -- I'm happy to explain how that system works, but it's a big hairy beast (pun only slightly intended).

along these lines, if anyone knows how to fully change the end-result form of beast form (i'm working on a mod to create a dragon form spell; started by duplicating beast form) to another animal, such help would be much appreciated.
