SSE And the next problem...toggle effect script works, but effect shader persists

[Elementargewalt]

And yet another issue i recently have when trying to put a few custom spells together...

 

I created some custom toggleable spells, which are working flawlessly with the script i´m using- one slow time spell and a night vision spell.

Toggle on, toggle off- no problem. Now i want to do that with a detect life spell and it works too, but not as intended.

When i toggle the spell on, everything is fine, but when i toggle it off the effect shader persists- really weird. Is there a command a can use in the script to ensure,

that the shader go away too when toggleing the spell off? Or is there something else i´ve missed? It is possible to do it, because the predator vision mod does this without problems, but i cant figure out, how it would work...any ideas?

 

Here is the script i use for the spells (property change with the spell):

 

 

Scriptname AADetectAuraEffectToggleScript extends ActiveMagicEffect

SPELL Property DetectAura Auto

Event OnEffectStart (Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
If akTarget.HasSpell(DetectAura) == false
akTarget.AddSpell(DetectAura, false)
Else
akTarget.RemoveSpell(DetectAura)
EndIf
EndEvent

 

 

Thanks in advance

DispelSpell() is the native function to remove all running effects of a spell. https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=DispelSpell_-_Actor

 

maybe something like this:

AADetectAuraEffectToggleScript

 

Scriptname AADetectAuraEffectToggleScript extends ActiveMagicEffect  
; https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/9069473-and-the-next-problemtoggle-effect-script-works-but-effect-shader-persists/

  Spell PROPERTY DetectAura auto        ; vanilla spell for comparing

EVENT OnEffectStart (Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
    IF akTarget.AddSpell(DetectAura, false)
        ; is TRUE, because the player or NPC does not have the spell already
        ;DetectAura.Cast(akTarget)              ; spell was added before, now we cast this spell on the target actor
    ELSE
        ; is False, because the player has this spell
        akTarget.DispelSpell(DetectAura)        ; remove spell effects
        akTarget.RemoveSpell(DetectAura)        ; remove the spell(knowledge) from actor
    ENDIF
ENDEVENT

No, this won´t work either. Spell toggles off as intended, but visual fx persists...

i figured out that the author of the predator vision mod used the blablabla.stop(target) command for the shaders, but when i try to use it, my script won´t compile. Man, such a simple task, but so much headache...

The syntax for that is

 

EffectPlaying.Stop(target of the EffectPlaying)

EffectShader property thisEffect auto
 
....
thisEffect.Stop(Game.GetPlayer())

Unfortunately, this won´t remove the shader fx from the npcs. As the name of the command suggests, it would only affect the player, but not the npcs...

Is there another way to affect npcs?

That was an example to show you the syntax. The argument for that function that I passed the playing into can accept any objectreference.
