"This effect has worn off"

Is it possible to not have the "______ has worn off message" and sound play for specific effects, while still playing for the rest?

Not sure without fully tinkering with it myself. But you may need to make a deep change to how the effect works. Make it work via a script instead of being a simple ingestible effect. Otherwise there's no way to edit that without affecting all of them.

 

I think this would work perfectly for the same effect. Make a script that is attached to the ingestible item, and make sure the ingestible item has no built-in effects (this is what triggers the worn off message). In the script you can call up an actor effect via a script that looks like:

 

scn YourScriptEffect

; Declare some variables. Change these as you see fit.
float Timer
short DoneCheck

begin ScriptEffectStart
	; 10 second duration
	set Timer to 10

end

begin ScriptEffectUpdate

	set Timer to (Timer - GetSecondsPassed)

	if ((DoneCheck == 0) && (Timer > 0))
     	player.CastImmediateOnSelf YourEffectEditorID
     	set DoneCheck to 1

elseif ((DoneCheck == 1) && (Timer <= 0 ))
     	player.Dispel YourEffectEditorID
     	set DoneCheck to 2

end

end

 

I haven't tested it, and I may have made a mistake in there somewhere, but what is should do is add the actor effect to the player quietly, and after a set timer, 10 seconds in our example, it removes the effect. The DoneCheck variable is a check so that it doesn't constantly keep spamming the effect if you already have it.

 

Try it out and see if it works.

Oh, boy. I was hoping for a setting or something in the geck. I am a complete novice with scripting, so this is quite confusing.

 

I thought of this, because I use a mod that adds shields to my character, but the activator is an aid item, and I haven't been able to make it work as an item of apparel, so every time I use the activator, I get the worn off message.

 

Thanks for the rely, though.
