I know you can make a creature glow by adding a non-carryable light source to its inventory, but every time I try to add a coloured light source the creature just glows white. Doesn't matter if 'dynamic' is checked or unchecked. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bug in the MW engine? Has anyone else gotten it to work? :shrug:

Do you want the creature to actually act as a light source, or simply glow?

To glow, you just need to add a glow map in NifSkope. To act as a light source, you may have to script a light to it or give it a way of carrying a torch.

What Peachykeen said.

Only NPCs can use carry able light sources as such, creatures cannot unless you find another way, trough scripting or something. You can make a creature emit light by making a spell that is ability with light effect and add it to creature's inventory. However that won't be a colored light so I might be really unhelpful.

Not to argue with these guys, but perhaps offer a workable solution. Check this out, dunno if it will help or not: http://miolnir.co.uk/amael/

there are tutorials for working with amael's particle replacers. with it you can make heads/skulls on fire, weapons that glow, etc...

I think most of those effects use glow maps, which glow, but don't give off light (cause, yknow, that's totally possible in reality ).

Until the OP specifies if they want the creature to actually light up stuff around them (glow maps won't, lights will), not sure how much help anyone can be.
