In this easy to follow tutorial, we will be making a new weapon with the
Skyrim Creation Kit, and we will add an enchantment effect to it (Frost
Damage). This tutorial builds on knowledge from previous chapters, so
make sure to go over the previous articles.
1) Launch Skyrim Creation Kit
2) Set your plugin files to the active file
3)
In the Object Window, bring up Items->Weapons to populate the list
of all the weapons from the game. We will base our new weapon on an
existing weapon, in this canse an Iron Warhammer.
4) Scroll down through the Editor IDs and find the one called "IronWarhammer"
5) Right click on it and duplicate it to make a copy
6) Right click on the new copy of the Iron Warhammer. Choose "Edit"
7) First, change the following basic attrtibutes:
ID = IceCrusher
Name = IceCrusher
Increase
it's damage and stagger by a little also. You can make it as powerful
as you like for the purpose of this tutorial, but when you later create
real mods, it's best to try and keep things as balanced as possible.
Left click on the "Enchanting" drop down and see the various
enchantments. You will see many different enchantment effects that are
at your disposal. You can even make new enchantments, but we will cover
that in a later chapter. Scroll down to EnchantWeaponFrostDamage06 and
select it. The rank of the enchantments go from 01 to 06, with 01 being
the weakest effect, and 06 being the strongest.
9) We just gave our weapon an enchantment, but we need to give it
some charges. Double Right Click on the enchantment name in the
enchanting window. You should see something like this:
Note the Enchantment Cost in the lower right corner. In our case, it has a value of 46.
10) In the "Enchantment" field, put in 460 to give the weapon 10 charges
11) Click OK then and save the weapon (Click no when it asks you to create a new form, and yes in the next dialog box)
12) Save the plugin and launch Skyrim. Make sure to verify under "Data Files" that you have the plugin selected.
13) Type in the console "help icecrusher" to see the code for it.
14) Type in the console player.equipitem (your code here) to equip the weapon on your character
15) Examine the weapon in the inventory to verify that it has the enchantment on it.
