Scriptname dostuff extends ObjectReferenceimport utilityimport debugActor Property PlayerREF AutoActor Property Leann AutoSpell Property HealOther AutoEvent OnInit()		RegisterForSingleUpdate(7.0) ; Single update is safer.

I am trying my hand at animations, and I simply want to animate an actor so she will have her "HealOther" spell drawn when I draw my weapons, later make the actor cast it at the player with the casting animation. Nothing happens when I draw my weapon, she just idles.

You register for animation events, but do not include a block of code for that event. See http://www.creationkit.com/OnAnimationEvent_-_Form.

Also, if you want that update that on a loop, you will need to use a single update chain. Add another RegisterForSingleUpdate at the end of your OnUpdate event to loop it.

And what ObjectReference is this attached to? I see that it extends ObjectReference. Should this be on a quest instead?

This script is attached to an actor. I want her to play the animation of drawing a spell out when I draw my weapons, and the script posted isn't working

Edit: I have a better handle on what you're trying to do now.

To get her to draw her weapons using that spell, you need to
- Equip the spell (you do this already)
- Use http://www.creationkit.com/DrawWeapon_-_Actor to force the actor to draw their weapon; the spell will be equipped in one hand.
Your OnUpdate() event is only going to fire once because you don't re-register for update at the end of your OnUpdate() block
Verify that your properties are filled in the CK.
You didn't really specify when you want the actor to actually cast the spell.

success! she draws out her spell. Though I used "magic_equip" as the string for the animation. Now I can continue to perform the rest of the action.
