Hey,

Is it possible to make a script or effect with light as an ability Spell like the NPCGhosteffect and those? I want that the creature is brightening the area around it.

Also has some one an Scipt how to make a creature only spawns at night?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

I'm not good at scripting, but I may be able to help.

FIrst off, if a light ability doesn't work, it *might* work to make a light that can't be carried and has no model, then add that to the creature.

Scriptname GlowingCreatureScriptShort DoOnceBegin GameMode	if DoOnce == 0		AddItem "Light"		set DoOnce to 1	endifEnd

Just pin that scrip to the creature and replace "light" with whatever light you want it to glow with.

As for your night-only spawns, try:

scriptname nightspawnscriptbegin gamemodeif gamehour >= 18 || gamehour < 7	disable	else		enableendifend

Since you can't put both on the same creature, how about:

Scriptname GlowingCreatureScriptShort DoOnceBegin GameMode	if DoOnce == 0		AddItem "Light"		set DoOnce to 1	endifif gamehour >= 18 || gamehour < 7	enable	else		disableendifEnd

Let me know if these don't work, and I'll see if I can fix them

Well he is telling me something like

"Script `GlowingcreatureScript`, Line7:
Missing Parameter Count.
Compiled Script not saved!"

Oops, my bad. Where i wrote "Light," after you add your own light, just put 1. You need to tell the game how many of that light you want to give the creature. Add the 1 outside the quotation marks and try again. Sorry bout taht.

Change line 7 to:

AddItem Light 1

Ok the nightspawn works but the light not I want to make the groung around the creature is bright maybe a carryable light? will try that now...

Any ideas? I checked how the Light is done in the healing spell and made the one of mine the same. I think it must be something wrong in the script. :unsure:

This mod might be worth studying for you...

Wow great, thanks will try that :foodndrink:

Just wondering, can you use the Light Spell Effect as an Ability, and give that to the Creature, rather than add it indirectly?

Well as i saw in the mod it is some kind of torchlight without a model and is set in the ring item slot

Yes, you can just make a spell ability, Give it to the creature or NPC, and they will have that effect. No need for scripting, no need for specially rigged items. It will look just like if the NPC had cast a light spell, except it will remain constant. The effect could also be achieved in the case of NPCs by giving them a ring with a light enchantment. Creatures however cannot wear equipment.

For light of a different color, you're kinda out of luck since only things defined as LIGHT, such as a torch, will emit light in the game. Unfortunately, due to how the game works, the torch node is not present on most creatures, and those few where it is present, there are no animations to work with a torch object. Using a script to move a persistent light node is not much of an option either since there is a fair amount of placement lag and issues related to enabling/disabling the light every time it moves.
