I have tried dragging one in, creating a primitive and adding a script, creating a roombound and adding a script as well as copying from a different level. Interestingly, once I copy say, the fxcameraattachACT from Mzulft second dungeon, I am unable to paste as it remains greyed out. So any info on how to add camera attached FX to a level is appreciated.

How are visual effects added to a level?[edit source]
I have tried dragging one in, creating a primitive and adding a script, creating a roombound and adding a script as well as copying from a different level. Interestingly, once I copy say, the fxcameraattachACT from Mzulft second dungeon, I am unable to paste as it remains greyed out. So any info on how to add camera attached FX to a level is appreciated. King Mango (talk) 2014-06-21T03:49:46 (EDT)

I haven't analyzed this in detail, but: the glow of a Draugr's eyes is done using a Visual Effect that's activated and deactivated by a script. There exists one visual effect for each Draugr sex.
The root node of meshes\actors\draugr\character assets\fxdraugrfemaleeyes.nif contains a NiStringsExtraData child block with name AttachT. The block contains a single string whose value is NamedNode&NPC Head [Head]. I'm guessing that this means that when Visual Effects are played on an ObjectReference, this mechanism can be used to specify a specific node to play them on.
