When I use a GetAV("Health") it seems to always return zero on any actor I do it on. I have tried converting it to a int still zero. Is Health not the right label? If I do getav in game through the console it returns the right number. This is what im doing more or less. The DamgeAV works fine.

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

While ( akTarget.GetAV("heatlh") as int < 20)
Utility.Wait(1)
akTarget.DamageAV("health", 5)
endWhile

endEvent

I assume you don't have that typo in your source script?

What's the spell you're using it with?

It is on a Disease I made. There isn't really anything outside of what I posted besides the scriptname and extends activemagiceffect

But you spelled "health" correctly in the original code? Because you have a typo on it here.

Well if you stare at something long enough you don't see the obvious things.

Happens to the best of us!
