When you don't want to be seen, you sneak.
When you use chameleon, you don't want to be seen.
Why then do you walk around talking to people while almost completely transparent?

I've been looking for a mod that fixes this seemingly simple, embarrassing problem.
Haven't found one.
Help me out, please.

wouao, it's a very good idea to do this mod.

For this, I think that scripting is the only possibility to do it.

Well, you can enchant a ring or have ring of khajiti and when you dont want to have chameleon effect, you can take off the ring

Why make some complicates things when we can do easier!!

ahahahahahah...

Perhaps you re right, or maybe I am too obsessed with roleplaying??? but having a mod breaks the roleplay? Dont think so...

You could script it onto a ring.
Something along the lines of ...

Begin OnEquip (Or is it BeginOnEquip?)

if player.issneaking == 1
player.removespell (A custom made chameleon ability.)
else
player.addspell (The same spell referenced above.)
Endif
End

Something along those lines.
I strongly suggest taking a look at the script that is attached to the Scales of Pitiless Justice, that should give you a few ideas.

Damn it. You're going to make me do it? Fine, I'll give it a try but no promises.

. . . I hate scripting

I think the most effective way would be to have a quest script running that simply checks for any chameleon effect on the player. If any effect is detected, it would force end any conversation. I'll have to look into the command for preventing the player from engaging in conversation, but that would be the desired effect.

I'll put something together for you.
I used to be terrible at scripting to, and I still am in comparison to some (most) of the people here, but even my paltry skill can equate to super-awesome-fun time.

Well... it looks like the script that I posted does not work quite right, so I don't have anything for you yet.
Watch in amazement as this now begins to consume my every modding moment.

What a great idea for a Mod. Hope to see it available for DL. Good Luck.

I made one that works as an ability, added it to my Drow:
Begin GameMode

if player.issneaking == 1
player.addspellspell <any chameleon ability>
else
player.removespell <same chameleon ability>
Endif
