[LE] How to make an NPC invisible (but still be able to talk to him)?

[mentor93]

How can I make an NPC invisible, but still be able to talk to him? I changed race of my NPC to InvisibleRace and his body disappeared, but I can still see his head. Is InvisibleRace correct thing to set if I want to make an NPC invisible (and I'm just doing something wrong what causes NPC's head to be still visible) or is there some other way to do that?

I found somewhat of a workaround for this. It works, but there is one bug. I cast Invisibility spell via script:

Event OnInit()
InvisibilitySpell.Cast(Self,Self)
EndEvent

 

For this I created my own spell, called it InvisibilityAlways and set its type to Ability (and duration to 100 days).

The bug I have here is that NPC I'm trying to get invisible has ForceGreet AI package on him, so that when player is near him a dialogue would trigger. This package seems to uncast this spell and makes NPC visible again. NPC actually stays invisible when I press 'E' to talk to him (there's some delay which causes auto-dialogue to start after player spent a couple of seconds near NPC - I don't really know why is that, too). Any idea how to fix that?

Why don't you just use the "Invisible Actor" that already exists in CK / game ?.

Make a 'Duplicate' of it and use him as you wish.

I think that you are trying to make a 'Dynamic Dialogue' with a 'Non Existence' npc (like a god), if so, you are doing it wrong, you need to learn how to set up a "Talking Activator".
