Constant Dispell

[JulianSull]

I want to make a scene where the antagonist creates a "Force Field" kind of effect that removes all light enchantments and turns off all flames. The Flames part is easy, I just shut down all of the lights with a parent source and it's done, but is there a way I can "Auto dispell" ONLY light effects or if that is not possible, dispell all effects constantly? I want the lights to go completely out. Also, nighteye would need to be autodispelled while in this building as well. Any ideas of how to script that?

Well, my initial guess would be to cast a large area spell that does a dispell magic effect wtih a strong value.

But, that will not keep the player from re-equipping a torch, or casting light again. And if the player has an object that casts light, I don't think there is anything much you can do about that.

Could I have a script that removes all torches from the inventory and puts them next to the device that is causing all of the lights to go out? Play it off as it teleports all light objects to the source.

You can use GetItemCount to get the number of torches the player has, then use RemoveItem from the player and AddItem to a chest near the source.

But like I said, there are still ways around it. You could also cast a permanent 'silence' on the player until they get to the source.

Oooo I like that idea. It's very cell phone jammerish. Thanks for the help, that's perfect.
