Hardcoded VFX References

EffectBlind will apply this as a custom VFX - ie if you are blinded. It references progfx.2da line 333 as well so can be altered there too.

Left pictures:

• Effect applied, and lights from candles in the level still show up
• Effect applied, and moused over self, self-highlight works
• Effect applied, torch equipped and torch shows up but no light visuals from it
• Effect applied, tab held and hightlights all visibile objects. You won't truly be "blind" although clicking around the level can be a lot harder!

Hearing, but not seeing, an object will apply this as a special VFX regardless of spell VFX.

For instance a creature around a corner but within hearing range, or those who you successfully hear stealthing but don't see. Again it references a progfx.2da line 400 so can be altered there.

Apparently Animal Companions and Familiars are undead, because this VFX line is used to summon them, referenced as VISUAL_EFFECT_SUMMON_ASSOCIATE.

You could alter this line then find all references to it in spells and change them to have a unique summon effect for familiars. Alternatively you blank the line out and apply your own VFX when the associate is summoned.

Applied to the target of:

• On Hit: Slay Alignment
• On Hit: Slay Alignment Group
• On Hit: Slay Racial Group

Funnily enough it is not applied for On Hit: Vorpal.

Used when Disease is initially applied to the given person.

Alas the payload does VFX_IMP_POISON_S instead (line 84) for some reason, possibly because most diseases turn into ability damage at that point? (or more likely a bug).

Used when a Poison payload is applied (either on the initial application or the later one).

Disease payload also uses this, but the initial application is the correct one (51)

When a EffectPolymorph effect is removed (by cancelling, dispel magic, RemoveEffect, death etc.) this VFX will play.

You could use a new VFX line for starting polymorph, and alter this one to be just the "unpolmorph" line.

Visual effect when a summon is asked to unsummon itself. Can be an animal companion, familiar, or EffectSummonCreature - see Lexicon for more information.

If set to not destroyable (so the summon doesn't disappear) it will still play this VFX regardless. Referenced internally as VISUAL_EFFECT_UNSUMMON_ASSOCIATE.

Can't seem to trigger this VFX using ApplyEffectToObject.

Instead use the individual ones below perhaps.

Appears to be what occurs when VFX_COM_GIB ie; Progfx type 9 (progfx.2da line 800) is used on a Small or smaller creatures with Red ("R") blood type

Note: Seems to be applied to the head node when ApplyEffectToObject is used.

Appears to be what occurs when VFX_COM_GIB ie; Progfx type 9 (progfx.2da line 800) is used on a Medium or larger creatures with Red ("R") blood type

Also dm_cowsfromhell - Cows from Hell impact on target "blood" effect

Internally this is linked to various effects for On Hit properties. These should be:

• On Hit: Blind
• On Hit: Confusion
• On Hit: Daze
• On Hit: Deafness
• On Hit: Dominate
• On Hit: Doom
• On Hit: Fear
• On Hit: Hold (Paralyze)
• On Hit: Death Attack
• On Hit: Silence
• On Hit: Sleep
• On Hit: Slow
• On Hit: Stun

EffectStunned, and any other source of stun (Stunning Fist, On Hit: Stun etc.) apply this visual effect while the stun is in place. It is odd, since no other mind effect seems to do this, eg; Daze.

On Hit: Confusion also applies this.

On Hit: Daze and On Hit: Dominated applies this (along with VFX_DUR_CESSATE_NEGATIVE)

Yes it appears Daze should use the DISABLED one not the DOMINATED, a bug.

"Blind vision" - but not sure this actually is applied (it is detected as a vision type but it doesn't seem the vision type is used?)

It appears to be used in absence of any other type of "vision" eg; a normal human without Darkvision. The progfx.2da line it references is 329. It lights up areas in the default game so humans can still see stuff.

GetReflexAdjustedDamage will automaically play vis VFX if the creature passed their reflex save. This function can be re-done in nwscript pretty much if you wanted to replace it.

Note ReflexSave etc. do not apply VFX, this one does because the resulting number you don't know if it was because of a feat, or because of a save.

VFX_FNF_HIGHLIGHT_FLASH_WHITE

EffectPetrify applies this VFX while it is in effect, unlike other "skin" effects which are applied in the effect scripts. This might have been to assist any potential On Hit: Petrify but that doesn't exist.

Freezing animations doesn't stop movement - thus you can slide after using an emote and freezing half way in that animation state.

dm_cowsfromhell - Cows from Hell main visual effect - game engine refers to the reference as VISUAL_EFFECT_COW. It's recommended not to reuse this line even though it is blank since apparently the engine self-codes the relevant 2da entries for it.

It is a bit buggy if used in EffectVisualEffect, probably requires a target than using it on self (similar to how magic missile VFXs need a target).
