I'm trying to make an NPC a ghost. I click on the "is ghost" tab in the npc window and they still appear normal ingame. Does anyone know how to add the ghost effect?

If it's like Oblivion then you should just need to put a magic effect on the npc. Just doing a quick search in the CK...if you go to magic/magic effect and filter for ghost a couple of those would probably work for you.

I thought the "is ghost" tab was for that too, but apparently it's for making weapons and projectiles just pass through the actor.

Set up a script with this code:

EffectShader Property GhostFX autoEvent OnLoad()   GhostFX.Play(Self)EndEvent

In the properties window, set the GhostFX's value to "GhostFXShader"

you have to find and attach the ghost script.

search for dbspectralassassin it has a ghost script attached you can copy and paste it to your character

Thank you! This will come in handy down the line for me.

Thanks for the help, everyone.
