I would like to do a spell that causes the player to turn into a Xivilai and turn back again to normal if the spell is used again, Ive been searching to do this kind of spell but no luck, could somebody explain me here the steps please? I would appreciate it, thank you :) | I would like to do a spell that causes the player to turn into a Xivilai and turn back again to normal if the spell is used again, Ive been searching to do this kind of spell but no luck, could somebody explain me here the steps please?

:That is going to be very hard; ''Oblivion'' doesn't handle shapechanging well at all (at least not for humanoids). There are a couple of ways to attempt it, but none is simple enough to just give you a few steps to follow. | |||
:The first is to create 'armor' that looks like a Xivilai, and force the player to equip that while the spell is active — by definition, this is going to remove the other armor that they have equipped, though. You could use still more code to apply the statistics of the player's actual armor to the fake Xivilai armor, though. This is the "easier" of the two options, but it has limitations both in appearance and in function. You also will probably have to make the Xivilai armor yourself, which will not be easy. | |||
:The other thought would be to use a Xivilai race mod (I believe AlienSlof did one), and then use Wrye Morph and/or Breeze582000's Succubi/Seducers mod to change the player's race to that Xivilai race. This is the "better" solution because it actually changes the player's race and doesn't fiddle with fake equipment. However, the problems here are huge — you're relying on material from other authors who are going to (all three) be difficult to contact, and may not give you permission to use their material (and '''''yes''''', you absolutely '''must''' get explicit permission to use any modder's material in any mod you plan to release — if you can't find someone, and they didn't specify that you were allowed to use it in their readme, then you're SOL, I'm afraid — you can't use it). Even if you ''do'' get permission, Wrye Morph is ''notoriously'' strictly beta-only. Using those features in an actual mod is risky, as they are very complicated, difficult to set up for the user, and are far from fool-proof. | |||
:Sorry that this is so complicated, but there's really very little support for this in ''Oblivion'', so you're pretty much on your own to try to make this happen. | |||
