I have a script that extends ActiveMagicEffect, and I read from http://www.creationkit.com/ActiveMagicEffect_Script that "ActiveMagicEffects will also receive events from the Actor they are attached to", but this is not true for my script. Here is the script:

ScriptName test1 Extends ActiveMagicEffectAuto State InitEvent OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)  Debug.Notification("Msg1")  GoToState("State1")EndEventEndStateState State1Event OnBeginState()  Debug.Notification("State1 started")EndEventEvent OnObjectUnequipped(Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)  Debug.Notification("Something unequipped")EndEventEndState

The script is added to a magic effect, which is added to a spell, which the player can cast to self. The spell is added to player by a quest.
It shows correctly the notifications "Msg1" and "State1 started", but won't show the "Something unequipped" message when I unequip an item. It seems the event is never detected by this script
Where is the problem?

What's your spell's duration? Do you remove your item right after casting the spell?

Ow thanks, looks like I forgot to set the duration, but how do I set infinite duration? Do I have to set 9999 days or is there a more elegant way?

if you want a very long duration, maybe you should try with a Constant type effect.

Yes, making it an Ability would be better...
