But the damage of time fx will still be displayed, like being on fire. It would override my effect.

It lasts for 3mins.

From the other thread:

How do I stop a hit shader from being overridden by other hit shaders from magic attacks? If that's not possible, is there a work around to make it look like there's a hit shader without it being a hit shader(through a script or some other way)?

How do I force a kill move via script? It needs to be a script because I want certain conditions to be met before executing the move. Also, is there a list of the names of the kill moves? I found the decapitation one under global but that's only because I know the name.

The only thing I could find was IsInKillmove and that doesn't help me at all.

Another question. Is it possible to add a script to an alchemy ingredient? There's a drop down menu but it doesn't seem to work.

Good point. I think I remember from my Oblivion days that there might actually be a "Null" effect shader. If it exists have you tried using it?

Unfortunately I think you'll have to dictate which effects can play during your effect using http://www.creationkit.com/Stop_-_EffectShader and/or http://www.creationkit.com/Stop_-_VisualEffect. You should be able to make an array containing the effects so you won't have to make hundreds of properties + lines of code.

If I create a dead npc and I want to remove him after the player removes a certain item from his inventory (and after the player has moved to a different location, or a certain amount of time has passed), do I have to write a script, or is there an easier way?

If yes; do you have any keywords to send me in the right direction? OnObjectUneqipped looks close, but I have hardly touched Papyrus before...

Anyone know what the updates actually do? I see one for CK and skryim

» Sat May 09, 2015 6:58 am

The one for the CK allows for you now to be able to upload large mods to the Steam Workshop. The one for Skyrim is just a change to the launcher because of the way Steam is now handling how subscribed mods are now being controlled by the Steam client.

If you decide to update the vanilla source scripts are deleted and sent in a scripts.rar archive. Just extract the files and drop them in your data folder. And keep the archive in a safe place so if there is another update you will not lose them.

Like your Avatar by the way. Grumpy Cat is the best.

You could make the dead NPC a quest alias and disable it with a setstage command after the player is out of sight.

OK, thanks Johng58, I'll look into that!

Is there a way to find out why a Mesh is causing Skyrim to CTD?

I've made a new Staff by combining two existing staves in NifSkope. It works perfectly. I then decided I wanted to add the glow-element from Dawnbreaker. It goes on fine, and gives no errors in NifSkope; but the second the game tries to load the staff, instant silent CTD :/

Edit:

Oh, and which Node is the one from where the Spell is cast? I just noticed that the flame of my fire-ball appears inside the Staff itself (since I've re-arranged their positions slightly relative to where they are held); I'd like to move that up to the tip, if I can Thanks
