SendAppearanceEffect Utility

[Akkadius]

I found this script that I made about a year ago (Hence some of the sloppiness) to help figure out what effects I wanted to use without manually going through them all. So I figured maybe someone could make use of this.

Probably want to make the NPC you test this on race 127 (Shadowed Man)

[demonstar55]

Well, where were you when I was trying to figure out the stun effect!

[zerjz3]

Old ass post, but how do you turn the static effects off once you turn them on?

You don't, there might be a packet to dismiss them but that is your short answer.

Sweet, thanks. Only way I have found to turn them off is to place the script NPC in a dynamic zone, then zone out and back in and it'll be off. Awesome script!
