To use this with your own custom creature spawn-in script, click "no" when it asks to overwrite nw_c2_default9.
--------------------
To add a custom spawn-in script without changing the default handlers (strongly recommended, as the default9 script sets many variables that effect NPC behavior), do not overwrite nw_c2_default9, and add this code to your Module On-Load handler (replacing "My_Spawn_In_Script" with the name of your custom spawn-in script):

SetGlobalString("N2_SCRIPT_SPAWN_CREATURE","My_Spawn_in_Script");

Then, if you do not have another DeathScript already defined in your On-Spawn script, add this code to your On-Spawn script:

SetLocalString(OBJECT_SELF,"DeathScript","iq_bb_death");

-------------------
To add this to an existing customized DeathScript, have your custom DeathScript "call" iq_bb_death with this code:

ExecuteScript("iq_bb_death",OBJECT_SELF);

Description

Hate that leftover VFX blue "glow" left behind by unlooted body bags? Don't want to depend on an area being devoid of PCs in order to run an effective area-sweeper? Want them unlooted body bags to go away faster than an hour? This scriptset may be for you!
What this scriptset does:
1) sets up a timed destruction (set to ten minutes as a default, but can be changed by builder) of body bags.
2) kills the "blue light special" VFX left behind by unopened bodybags.
3) destroys body bags independantly (each body bag gets ten minutes).
What this scriptset does NOT do:
1) Area sweep - this will not "cleanse" an area; it is designed specifically to deal with body bags.

An interesting work around. Thank you for pointing out what is causing that glow to stick around.

It'a also really easy to edit fx_lootbag.sef to not leave the glow, have a glow for a little bit, and even choose sparkles or no.
I changed it to be no blue glow and a 1 second sparkle to hint at something there.
