See Through Effect : IV

» Thu Sep 17, 2009 12:54 pm

You know when you went through the nights of nine mod? how when you visited your last wayshrine you were visited by a seethrough person/ghost?

I need to make an npc that looks like that... how would i do it? ghost effect just adds a fog around the npc and makes it so things go through them.

--Thanks!

It looks like a semi-transparent npc with the body kind of a fogy white (like a cloud) and the edges more there and glowing silvery.

Sort of. Just missing the glow arownd the edges and the white foggy substence, but we can go with out the foggy substance i think. Defenetly on the right trak though! Thanks!

Why not use the AbGhostNPC ability? That's what Bethesda did for their ghosts. Just drag it into the NPC's spell list and it will be a ghost in-game.

Yeh I believe that Ability has a script effect attached to it which basically sets "saa 0.1". It also has something like "pms GhostEffect" in there which applies a shader that makes a character really look like a ghost instead of just transparant.

Yes that worked, but now when I attack the npc, the npc doesnt strike back. even though my attack DID DO DAMAGE to the npc. any way to fix this? Oh, and by the way, I am trying to make a God figure with this.
