There seems to be a small glich about this function : if you load any other savegame while you are semi-transparent, you will still be semi-transparent. It's tricky if you use that in a spell effect, because you can't prevent the player from fast-loading their quicksave while the effect is active. As a workaround, one can use this kind of code in a quest script :

Another glitch is that sometimes using sar 0 does not entirely remove the refraction effect if sar was previously used on the same reference. If that is happening, you may want to consider an OBSE alternative:[[Con_SetTargetRefraction|SetTargetRefraction]].

Known Glitches[edit | edit source]

There seems to be a small glich about this function : if you load any other savegame while you are semi-transparent, you will still be semi-transparent. It's tricky if you use that in a spell effect, because you can't prevent the player from fast-loading their quicksave while the effect is active. As a workaround, one can use this kind of code in a quest script :

if player.IsSpellTarget thespell == 0
   player.sar 0
endif

Another glitch is that sometimes using sar 0 does not entirely remove the refraction effect if sar was previously used on the same reference. If that is happening, you may want to consider an OBSE alternative:SetTargetRefraction.
