Problem - CWTN Plugins and Removing Illusions

I'm running a 6-man team (SK, NEC, BST, ENC, BRD, SHM) and running CWTN on all but the Bard.
I'm trying to run a quest that requires a certain illusion that is given by an NPC (What Makes a Scorpiki?). SK and NEC both have spells they cast that cause the skeleton illusion. The other classes have group or single spells that cast illusions also - Wolf, Scarecrow, etc. I need to remove all these other illusions for the whole group that would overwrite the Scorpiki illusion. Is there a way to do that with the CWTN plugins? The Bard is running KissAssist so that's not a problem.

Thanks for the help!
 
turn off autoremoveillusion if you don't want to auto-remove all illusions - we actually don't remove ones that give you a faction boost for this reason, so turning autoremoveillusion on might do what you want without going further.

if you don't want skelly illusion from sk and nec, you can add those to your blocked spells as mentioned in the FAQ (we no longer cast the spells to GIVE you the illusion, but if you don't have it blocked, EQ will give it to you). I'd recommend taking a look at that - cause if you missed those parts of the FAQ/Info, there are other spells you will want to block as well - just for regular gameplay purposes
 
The skeleton is actually the easiest ones to get around. The harder ones are the group buffs that include illusions - Wolf, Scarecrow, etc. - do I need to use a custom spell set just for this quest?

Thanks

Those can be blocked via EQ, add this spell to blocked. Then, if you want them after the qeust is done, just pop in and remove.

no, not at all.

block any illusion forms you don't want.

that's what i suggested and that is what i think you should do.

I personally don't like any of the "wolf, skeleton, poop, whatever" illusions, so i have them blocked for everyone all the time

I have most of mine blocked as well, but you could also have a quick LEM you could enable/disable with a simple checkbox for stuff like this too. I wrote an example in the library for Djinn illusions.
