I am trying to create a script that will modify the target of a spell. The effect that's target is modified is the reanimateFFaimed0 effect. I have tried everything from Actor target = ReanimateFFaimed0.GetTargetActor() to Actor target = activeReanimateeffect.GetTargetActor(). Every time when I try to compile the script it says "no viable alternative at input '(WhateverITry)'"

What is the problem? What am I supposed to use?

Does this describe the problem you're having? http://www.cipscis.com/skyrim/tutorials/editorids.aspx

Eh...not really. After reading some other forum posts, I've decided to temporarily give up on the GetTargetActor() and try this:

Scriptname powerfulundead extends ActiveMagicEffect


Event OnEffectStart(actor akTarget, actor akCaster)
If (akcaster.hasperk(necromancy))
aktarget.modav("health", 500)
aktarget.modav("magicka", 50)
aktarget.modav("stamina", 50)
endIF
endEvent

perk property necromancy auto




This compiled, but seems to not work...any suggestions?

The code looks fine to me, is your property set up correctly in the Creation Kit? Try throwing in a couple of debug functions to make sure your code is all running.

Just tested it out.....It functions, but for some reasons the "modav" functions effected my player, not the target....peculiar... I will try to swap the caster/target actors and see what happens....

Cannot seem to get the "modav"s to effect the target...very strange...makes no sense....

Also cannot get my 'Debug.trace("Is THIS WORKING?")' to work....

Well, anybody have any suggestions?
