Hi,
I am trying to give my PC a temporary darkvision ability, that wears off after several hours. I tried different approaches, and so far the best result i got with simple FeatAdd() / DelayCommand() / FeatRemove() functions, and just added racial/class darkvision to my PC, as it saved me the hassle with solving UI issues.

Or so I thought...

After I swich darkvision mode on - the blue 60feet circle appears and everything works great, and if I switch it off again and wait for few hours the feat disappears from the character sheet, UI icon from bottom-right corner vanishes and everything is just perfect.
Problem that if FEAT_DARKVISION is removed from PC while darkvision toggle is ON, the visual effect (light and 60feet circle around PC) are still on, and can't be turned off, since there is no UI icon anymore...

Can anyone help me figure out what exactly are these effects and how to create/remove them at will with scripting, or how to force PC to toggle off darkvision just before the feat is removed from character?

I don't know of a way to toggle on and off he darkvision via script. But with the remove script you could use a loop to check all the effects on the player and remove the darkvision. Not at the toolset and off hand not sure how you would identify the darkvision effect.



Just a general comment. Are you checking for the darkvision feat before you apply it to the player. Someone would be bummed if their race gave them darkvision and you stole it.

Hmm... Thats something - I'll look into it. Thanks.

Of course, I created checks just before applying it and just before removing it - in case PC leveled up as, say, Shadowdancer in the meantime.

EDIT: Am I doing something wrong? There seems not to be any valid effect on PC.
Also,

RemoveSEFFromObject(oCreature, "fx_dark_vision.sef");

didn't work.

This is how you set and get it...

SetActionMode(oCharacter,ACTION_MODE_STEALTH,bActive);
GetActionMode(oCharacter,ACTION_MODE_STEALTH);

Instead of ACTION_MODE_STEALTH use 24 ( or define a new constant )

This returns a string describing mode

/**

Well, I have tried to SetActionMode number 24 to my character - it didn't work for me. Not even if character was a dwarf and darkvision was natural for him. Tried with both Darkvision and Lowlightvision - did it work for you? Function implies it is not verified, and I sadly cannot veryfy it myself .

Hi JockX,

You almost have it. It is:

RemoveSEFFromObject(oControlled, "fx_low_light_vision");

However, you may still have a problem removing the SEF as the "feat" is constantly turning it back on again while it is still present. That said, I suspect careful timing of removing the effect and the feat may yield the result you are after.

I did a quick test, and this line *does* prevent the SEF from working but only after the first time it is toggled on again from being off. Like this ...

1) Low light vision is turned off.
2) This line of code is fired.
3) Toggle of the feat does not bring the vision back unless it is clicked twice.

This would suggest that a way that might work is as follows:

1) Remove the feat.
2) Apply the line of code.

In theory, this line may then work because the feat is no longer present/active and so the low light vision is not being constantly checked. However, you may also be stuck in the same position you were in that removing the feat does not mean stopping the vision action. Yet, you may then be able to use the SetActionState as previously reported just prior to removing the feat and then removing the SEF.

I hope that all makes sense.

Let me know if you have any success, or not.

Lance.

Well, at the end I decided to take entirely different approach, and I am satisfied with its results.  It works like this. My character has two separate feats, one of them represents drinking magical potion (SPELLABILITY_DARKVISION), and the other - taking concious control over body reflexes - this one works just like toggle button for SEF, only when potion feat has beed used (SPELL_DV_TOGGLE) .

Script for feat #1 gives certain bonuses to PC and fires "Toggle feat" script, which looks like this:

effect eVisFX = EffectNWN2SpecialEffectFile("fx_dark_vision_customised_for_my_feat.sef", oPC);                
        eVisFX = SetEffectSpellId(eVisFX, SPELL_DV_TOGGLE);
        eVisFX = SupernaturalEffect(eVisFX);

if(GetHasSpellEffect(SPELLABILITY_DARKVISION) == TRUE) [color="#00ff00"]//Can toggle DV on?[/color]
    {
        if(GetHasSpellEffect(SPELL_DV_TOGGLE) == TRUE) [color="#00ff00"]//Has toggled DV on?[/color]
        {
            RemoveSEFFromObject(oPC, "fx_dark_vision_customised_for_my_feat.sef");
            return;
        }
        
        ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eVisFX, oPC, fDuration);[color="#00ff00"] [/color][color="#00ff00"]//If can, and not yet on, apply FX[/color]
        
        while(GetHasSpellEffect(SPELLABILITY_DARKVISION) == TRUE) [color="#00ff00"]//Postpone until potion wears off[/color]
        {
            ActionWait(HoursToSeconds(1)/20);  
        }
        
        RemoveSEFFromObject(oPC, "fx_dark_vision_customised_for_my_feat.sef");
        return;
    }
    
    FloatingTextStrRefOnCreature(235028, oPC); [color="#00ff00"]//StrRef informs PC that to use this feat, potion must be in effect[/color]
}

A player might abuse this script and allow "fx_dark_vision_customised_for_my_feat.sef" to be on for maximum of 3 minutes of game time (HoursToSeconds(1)/20) over the time potion should work if he uses toggle feat at the right moment, but at the end I've made myself my own switch
