How difficult would it be to create an addon that does a simple blink a second after entering Escha Ru'aun and Ru'aun gardens?

There is a minor bug where any kind of glow equipment glows at a far higher intensity when you zone into these areas, a simple blink via weapon change etc fixes it but it's annoying to manually do it when using lock-styles.

Would it be possible to make a really small addon that checks for zone into specific areas mentioned and forces a blink?

This happens with Tartarus platemail, afterglow weapons the light saber weapons etc

Pretty easy with access to memory, there's a single byte at the end of model flags that can be set to 1 to force a blink.

I'm not really sure why it happens. As I said you can fix it instantly with a blink by taking your weapon off and back on so it's not a huge deal, but it's a minor annoyance.

It's annoying to me because I've been making effect mods and it's more prominent, although it happens on every normal glow equip too.

Was hoping there was some simple lua script that could just force a blink but it appears to be bit more involved.

example

zone in and after a blink to how it should look for example

You could have a lua running that does a check when you zone, and if the zone equals whatever zone you want to blink in, have it wait for load then some series of commands to blink. If that's unloading dress up, changing ammo/setting a lockstyle, then loading dressup again, or something to that forces a blink for you.

windower.register_event('zone change',
function(new, old)
if (new== --zone IDs you want to blink in) then
wait and do the blink events
elseif
end
end)

They look "better" in black and white but are incapable of looking "good"

Dog turds +1 are still dog turds.
