Ghost Effect Script

[Umberstone]

I wanted to make a Racial Power like "Ghostly Visage" from neverwinter nights. I made it in the construction set using "ghost effect script" and set every thing including the ghost effect to last 60 seconds. It looked great in-game, but when the sixty seconds were up, my pc still looked like a ghost. When the power is active there is an icon for the "ghost effect script", and it seems to be counting down like the other effects, but the appearance remains. Is there any way to use the ghost effect script and have it turn off when the spell is over?

I wonder if something like this would work?

 

scn GhostEffectScript

begin ScriptEffectStart
saa 0.01
pms ghosteffect
end

begin ScriptEffectUpdate

end

begin ScriptEffectFinish
        StopMagicShaderVisuals ghosteffect
end

thanks for the reply. I tried it and it did stop the effect at the end of the spell, however it left the character completely invisible afterward. Scripting is kind-of interesting, Is there a tutorial online somewhere about scripting for oblivion?

On nexus, here

The wiki contains most of the knowledge though.

SetActorAlpha to 1.0 should fix your invisibility issues.

 

scn GhostEffectScript

begin ScriptEffectStart
saa 0.01
pms ghosteffect
end

begin ScriptEffectUpdate

end

begin ScriptEffectFinish
StopMagicShaderVisuals ghosteffect
saa 1.0
end

It worked! Thanks to everybody for the help. If any body is interested in this, the working code is below. I added a 2 to the effect's name so it wont mess with the game's original code.

I realize this is over a year old, but is there a way to get this script to be successful in a constant effect enchantment? It would be really cool to be able to be a ghost for however long you want without a set spell time

Yes, you would just put that script in your enchantment. Edited April 8, 2011 by jamochawoke
