making VFX go away

[manji]

when making cutscenes, my method of creation involves the party becoming invisible so i can move them around and get the best camera angles...

i have VFX attached to my characters(a sword and others), but while your character goes invisible, their VFX stays in place. this obviously ruins the cutscenes.

within an Enter Map script, i've tried script branch condition to control their appearance with flags, and empty VFX attachments, but nothing works.

Is there anyway to eliminate what's attached to your character without removing all the VFX on the map? is the 'clear all effects' script the only option?

I do believe that it is. With VFX that are attached to events, you can remove the event, but if the VFX is attached to a party member, you will have to remove all VFX. I believe that Rodak has a huge script with every event VFX in his game in it, so that he can clear all VFX and then apply that script to refresh them all again.

IDK, have you tried to edit whose in your party? Try to quickly edit them out and edit em back in. Maybe that will get rid of the VFX..?

"when making cutscenes, my method of creation involves the party becoming invisible so i can move them around and get the best camera angles..."

If that doesn't work you could try to right after you make your party members invisible to use the float command to shove them through the ground hiding the VFX's away.

excellent suggestions. i will be trying these out to see what works best.

edit: thanks nash! taking them out of my party and replacing them with another member works perfectly.
