BG1 coding question :), visual effects, items into chest: how? Options

[jastey]

Hi,
I have two questions to BG1 coding:
1. If I want to have a nice visual effect, e.g. one creature dissappears with a lot of glowing light.. whatever, how do I code that? (For BGII, I would use:

CODE

CreateVisualEffectObject("effect",Myself)

Is there something similar for BG1?)
2. I have problems to put an item into an existing container. I have the following code in the area.baf:

CODE

 
IF
   Global("C#ItemInTruhe","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
         SetGlobal("C#ItemInTruhe","GLOBAL",1)
         ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("ITEM",0,0,0))
END

which is the only way I see, but this puts the item in front of the container. How would the correct code have to be, to place the item inside?

Thanks!
PS: Answers as soon as possible, please...

What do you mean with "negation of your conditions to handle possibilities that are not desirable for your dialog node"? If I want to have a reaction if the character *is* not in the party / dead / sleeping, a trigger for the contrary case doesn't help me. (?) Do you have an example?
