Irrepressible Protection From Spell School and Deflection animations

chimeric

I think I've tried everything to keep things under wraps. I looked in the Spell Deflection spells, followed them to the BAM and VVC files they use, then gave the target of my custom spell an immunity to those. I cast the school protection from an EFF and typed shskull in the Resource field, which normally quashes the animation. But the damn twirling energy arrows-snakes still go on their orbits around the target. Does that effect just want to hump my leg or what?

Have you tried using Opcode 291? I don't know if it works for that animation, but it does seem to prevent the reflection disk animation, so maybe it'll prevent that one too; I don't really know.

Just tried it, no luck. Maybe the effect uses some different VVC or BAM than the spell version?

@OlvynChuru , Actually it does work! I wasn't doing it right. Thanks. Now why doesn't the "Spell Ineffective" string go away? There is only one string like that in the tlk, I blocked it, but it still crops up...
