New stealth colouring - remains permanently at times

Alright, if this helps to fix it...

Now attacking from stealth fixes it, or using an item from stealth does too. Potions, any item at all. Anything that forces you to break stealth will now cause the glow to go away.

So it's possible to easily turn it off, at least.

Snoteye

So what isn't working now?

Capricious

If you destealth the normal way, by using a quickslot, or the radial menu, the glow remains. Also it doesn't go away when you rest.

Anything that force-breaks stealth (attacking, using an item, talking to an NPC) now gets rid of the glow. It's pretty much the opposite situation from what it was earlier today.

Capricious

Correction, talking to an NPC won't break the glow currently.

Using an item, attacking, drinking a potion, all these things will now.

I think the conversation thing might be related to stealth being broken at the point where the command is issued rather than executed in this case, if that's helpful.

Snoteye

Handles for traps and conversations, and deactivation is fixed again. If something fails to break you glow you need to activate stealth again before the glow can be disabled.

I'm permanently glowing if I even enter stealth. It goes away with using item. I'm not even sneaking.

So far I'm fixing this by re-stealthing and then using my PVP tool on a placeable, as it's unlimited use and does nothing that way. Also it's fun to hostile those bastard signposts.

Porkolt

Seeing as this doesn't seem to fail on entering stealth, wouldn't it be possible to install a heartbeat script that checks wether the PC is in stealth, and, if not, removes the glow?

Rather than going with trying to find every possible event that can cause a PC to leave stealth and putting the script in there, I can see how you'd run into problems.

Just stealth and use the PvP tool on the ground, you don't need to use it on the signposts... You can use it at where that signpost originally came from, the earth itself, muahahaha! Death to it! ... Ahem... But yeah, just on the ground works.

Capricious

Alright, after the last reset stealth looks to be just about right. There's only two situations now that seem to make it "stick" where you get stuck with the brown glow.

These are talking to an NPC while stealthed will make it stick, also resting while stealthed will make it stick.

Other than that it goes on and off as it should. You can still get rid of the glow by using an item from stealth, so it's really not a big deal in the least. Very slightly bugged, but so very close to perfect.

Snoteye

What type of NPC did you speak to?

Capricious

I spoke to one of the Conclave ones inside the faction HQ who has a small conversation.

Snoteye

Rest handle, different solution for conversations.

Today on a hectic quest, Stealth coloring remaining on me. A simple restealth and breaking it again fixed it. There's always a simple solution.
