Thrown net VFX?

NeverwinterWights

I swear there is a visual effect or spell where you throw a net at someone. but for some reason it escapes me. I was looking at the entangle VFX but that one is vines/vegetation. I really just want to place the visual effect at a location for a specific amount of time if it's possible with this one. I just need to find out where it's at first.

Are you referring to something like the Ettercap's Web Bolt?

from: nw_s1_bltweb

    effect eVis = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_WEB);
    effect eStick = EffectEntangle();
    effect eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eVis, eStick);

    // ....
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eLink, oTarget, duration);

No it's an actual rope net visual if my memory serves me (and it usually doesn't). That's why I specifically want to use it. Maybe I'm going crazy?

Sorry, I haven't seen anything like that, but then I haven't been around NWN for that long.

You could use the net placeable object and it should look good, something like:

effect eStick = EffectEntangle();
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eStick , oTarget, duration);
object oNet = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "nw_plc_net", GetLocation(oTarget));
DestoryObject(oNet, duration);

Yep. For the specific project I'm trying to work out, the net object is what I'm probably going to end up using. And probably the transform function to scale it down a little. I won't actually be using it on any creatures or players to snare or entangle anyone or anything like that. Although I may use it for something like that in the future as well.
