Hi guys, I have two simple questions:

(1) Is there a way to attach a script to an object instance dynamically? For example, I would like to make a spell effect that spawns butterflies when the target is sitting down (i.e. attach an Actor Script with an implemented "OnSit").

(2) Is there a way to change the state variables or call functions of other scripts? For instance, I just summoned an actor with.... say a regeneration script that basically heals the actor for x pts per second. Let's say x is a variable with a setter method in the script, would I be able to have another script to talk to this script and change that through just simple coding?

Edit: For the second question, let's say you only have the pointer to the object but not the scripts attached.

ActivemagicEffects attach to the actor they're affecting, and can thus catch events on that actor. So you could make the effect register for the Sitting animation events, shouldn't be all that hard...

It's catching things like when YOUR weapon hits an opponent that are hard. The OnHit event only goes off when an actor is hit, not when it hits.

Interesting. I thought activemagiceffect only listens for the effect itself and not the affected individual.

Totally off topic, but


I think there's an option for perk entry points called "combat apply spell" or something (it's definitely towards the beginning of the list) that shoots a spell when the perk owner successfully hits someone in combat.

Well you can do it by just putting an Enchantment on a weapon whose OnEffectStart is effectively an "OnHitEnemy" for that particular weapon.
