Description

This script allows the use of custom tokens to drop on a PC or NPC to give them the 8 glowing eye effects.

8 custom tokens are defined, one per eye color. As the VFX are based on gender and PC race, the script examines the race and gender of the PCs, or model of creature and autoselects the proper effect (if one exists). Models that do not have a match get a brief effect to show it does not work for that model. This allowed the glowing eyes effects to be used on a number of humanoid creature models.

If you aren't able to use the erf, the script is above, and you can make your own tokens. The tokens should have the tag: eyetoken

and an Integer variable named EYECOLOR
with the following values:

Blue eyetoken: 324
Cyan eyetoken: 593
Green eyetoken: 567
Orange eyetoken: 386
Blue eyetoken: 324
Purple eyetoken: 580
Red Flame eyetoken: 360
White eyetoken: 606
Yellow eyetoken: 373

Effects do stack, and are persistent over login/logout, but as written, are not persistent across server resets, and are removed by a DM heal.

Thanks for this!

So far as I am aware, not without a hak. This script uses existing Bioware VFX.

The token is currently set to disappear from inventory once it does its thing, and to activate when acquired by a creature. I could make an item script that would allow the effect to be turned on and off.

This script makes use of the bioware glowing eyes vfx - changing eye and lip color beyond that would require new head textures.

Very nice and so creative..why did it take so long for someone to think of this?...lol..thanks!

Too bad one can't just null it in-game without DM intervention (DM heal)..can you script it this way? WOuld be a cool effect to have glowing eyes for a sec and then revert back to normal eyes.

Also..can you do something like this for adding colour to eyes or lips like a tatoo in game?...would be cool to customize eye colour and lip colour with some sort of item one can buy in game.
