Removing FX Ingame : V

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:56 pm

In a mod which I am currently in the process of creating I have a diamond with a light and affect which makes it look like light is focusing through the diamond. However, when I pick up the diamond from mid-air the effect and light obviously remains. How do I make it so that the two effects disappear? I need the diamond to be take-able as part of a quest. I have not got any experience scripting so if that is what is required could someone tell me how do it or at least point me to where I could find out. This is my first attempt at a mod.

Thanks

PS On a side note, does anyone know how I could make the diamond rotate or wobble in the air?

http://www.creationkit.com/Stop_-_EffectShader for an FX Shader and http://www.creationkit.com/Disable_-_ObjectReference for a light.

...might work?
