need Reading tips / plausability for making overlay tatts "glow" when unholstered

[Bullw]

Sup fellas!

 

So wanted to ask is it's possible to make overlay tattoos "glow" when unholstered (hands out).

Also if its possible make specific tatts/overlay glow, rather them all of them.

 

Saw some reddit post mention that it should be possible to code with racemenu.

 

If you got any good reading guides for above relevant knowledge needed please post

 

Got some basic experience with CK and quite a bit more with xEdit.

Have never tried skyrim scripting (got decent experience with java).

 

//Thanks ahead!

Hello, and welcome to the world of Skyrim scripting!

 

I'm pretty sure what you planned should be possible.

 

I recommend first getting familiar with the basics of Papyrus - this wiki should be a good place to get you started: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Papyrus

 

For the holstered/unholstered part, these pages in particular will be relevant: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=OnCombatStateChanged_-_Actor for NPCs and https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=RegisterForActorAction_-_Form for the player.

 

As for the tattoo glow part, I think that could be done with a framework like SlaveTats, but if you don't want that kind of dependency, you could also do the necessary calls to NiOverride yourself. Though I'm afraid that aside form the code & occasional comments, those don't have much in the way of real documentation...

 

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
