Make effects persist through death?

I'm trying to make an effect that does not normally persist through death (similar to dedication and reraise) do exactly that. Can anyone please help me out with how and where I'd do that?

You just named two things that do, perhaps look to see how those work?

I made a custom quest that had players retrieve something in a time limit with all sorts of status effects applied. Just added various conditions to each individual status effect lua file. This way, it persisted through death, zone, you name it, as long as variable for quest was true and timer remained. Even disabled manual removal via spell/item.
Can get pretty creative with many other things as well.

Found an example:
Keep in mind, this is specific to my quest. I add Confrontation to the player and use that as a control check for my reapplication of poison. In your case, you'd use a different method.
File Location: scripts/globals/effects
Code: Select all
-----------------------------------
--
-- EFFECT_POISON
--
-----------------------------------
require("scripts/globals/status")
-----------------------------------
-- onEffectGain Action
-----------------------------------
function onEffectGain(target,effect)
target:addMod(MOD_REGEN_DOWN, effect:getPower())
end
-----------------------------------
-- onEffectTick Action
-----------------------------------
function onEffectTick(target,effect)
end
-----------------------------------
-- onEffectLose Action
-----------------------------------
function onEffectLose(target,effect)
target:delMod(MOD_REGEN_DOWN, effect:getPower())
local status = player:getVar("Quest_Cure_Ails_You")
if (status >= 8 and status <= 16) then
local timeRemain = player:remainingEffect(EFFECT_CONFRONTATION)
if (timeRemain > 0) then
player:addStatusEffect(EFFECT_POISON,3,0,timeRemain)
end
end
end
