Suppose I wanted to make a set of bound gauntlets, and that I wanted them to appear on fire. Is that possible?

I spent some time a while back trying to apply shaders, but I hit the problem that you lose the object reference when the item enters the inventory.

Anyone got a good way to do this?

It's possible. I have seen mods where helmets would be on fire so this is totally possible

Thanks for that. Good to know I'm not tilting at windmills, anyway.

I don't suppose anyone has a good way to go about it? I believe particle effects can be added in nifskope, but I currently know very little about the tool and would prefer a programatic solution.

Would a persistent object solve the problem, perhaps? It's not the ideal solution, since I'd like this spell to be NPC-Usable, but making the effect work for the PC would be a start.

EffectShader Property FireFXShader autoevent OnEquipped(Actor akActor)       FireFXShader.Play(self)endEvent

See, that's what I thought I was doing ...

I'll have to check the code when I get back tonight and see if I can see what I was doing wrong. Probably it's something silly on my part. It usually is in my experience.
