Hey again I am so close to finishing my first project (alpha), but there are jsut a few little hurdles left for me to overcome! I will jsut number each question, and if any tips/ advice or answers can be given,it is greatly appreciated!

1. I want to script a statement that only fires if the player is struck by a certain type of enemy. (such as humans or beasts). I am guessing that this will be an EVENT onHit, but from what I know, akAggressor returns an ID, and cannot be used to check for an enemies classification?

2. I want to have an event that fires on an occasion where a players stamina is being used (Power attack). What is the best Event to use?

3. Would an onMagicEffectApply event be the best to check for a harmfull spell being cast at the player?

Thanks

bumps

and a final bump before I let this die, and spend the rest of the week figuring it out. :/

For your first question, by adding an If condition with IsFaction, doesn't it get what you want ?

You can set your actor alias, and check
If akAggressor == MyActorAlias
;stuff here
endif

Should work.

2. Is tricky. You'll require an update event with custom timer. Set a variable to the player's current endurance. When the variable drops a certain amount, your event can pick it up.

3. Not sure

thanks for the help!, I'll mull over this info tonight and attack the problem tomorrow!

Cool, so I have solved some problems, and some others not so

1. So a new problem is this.
Ability >effect(script) that performs a mana check on spell cast > cast spell > effect.

I tried using a onSpellCast effect but it doesnt seem to work, I beelive because I am performing it within an effect?

2. Paladin, what do you mean by "myactoralias" ? Could you give a simplified example say when a beast attacks the player? EDIT - Actaully, I see a nice easy way to do this using conditions on a magic effect, do these conditions work if the effect is cast from a script?

3. same as last time, I havent had a mess around with that yet, but I have a feeling it wont work.

not sure about onSpellCast - i"ve never used it.

By "myactoralias" I meant your actor property. So make an Actor Property and point it to the player.
