Invisible Creature Trick

[wolpak]

I may be missing something obvious, but I am using the old invisible creature trick and it shows a smoke cloud when he appears. What gives? (btw, I have reused other's creatures with my own scripts and whatnot and he carries the HP1 item and the noring item and has effects transparancy fade, non-dtetection and animation removal.

Summoned creatures do that afaik. Maybe the cre is tagged as one?

AKA, the .cre's file has a summoned as it's gender(offset 0x0275 ).

You'll see the default visual effect if you do not specify a resource in the "Parameter 5/Resource 3" field. This field is only available in EFF resources (at offset 0x70) however. To remove the visual effect completely, you should specify a nonexisting resource name, such as "NONE".

To summon a creature via EFF file, you have to create an EFF resource first, where you summon your helper creature (opcode 67). Don't forget to fill out the resource field at 0x70 as well. In your spell (or item) effect use opcode 177 to execute the desired EFF resource. As IDS target you can use "EA.IDS (2)" and "ANYONE (0)".
