Ok I'm working on a script to add diseases to enemies when they are hit with a spell. But

aktarget.addspell(diseasespell)

is not working. Is there something that prevents you from adding disease spells to enemies?

.

did you make a property for the spell?, its hard to help with out the whole script.
Example

Spell Property disease1 AUTOEvent Onsomeevent()if somecondition() = 0aktarget.addspell(disease1)endifendevent

also scripts that apply vanilla diseases use http://www.creationkit.com/DoCombatSpellApply_-_Actor
not AddSpell

Ahhhh Fantastic. Thank you! I didn't know about the DoCombatSpellApply

As it turns out I have started actually doing all the effects through scripting in the actual Affliction spell that applies a random disease. It's working out pretty well in early testing because I can have perks that increase the effectiveness of the disease as well as chance to inflict it and do it all in the script without having to make additional versions of the diseases that are more potent. Although truth be told it might be faster to create additional diseases instead.. Unless I add a lot of perk ranks in which case scripting is a lot faster.

Actually the DoCombatSpellApply doesn't seem to be working for diseases either. But there are other ways to work around it and get the same desired effects. No big deal.

maybe post the script you're working with.

aktarget is not an actor (I know, I know ....it is not very intuitive...that is Skyrim in a nutshell...).

You need to do this:

Actor Target = (aktarget)
Target.addspell(YourSpell)

Or this may work:

((aktarget)as actor).addspell(YourSpell)

Hmmm Ok I'm about to try that. Turns out I needed to actually apply some sort of spell or equip an item to represent the spell in order to keep the script from applying the same spell over and over if it draws that random number again. That or setting some sort of Global property and setting it back to 0 when the enemy dies but that would just be all kinds of screwed up and lead to a thousand other problems I'm sure.

Here is the script as it is now.. Obviously I'm still working on it and I'll try using AkTarget as Actor but as it stands now the script is..

I do like doing it through scripting because I can give the player message's telling them what disease they gave the enemy as well as what the effects were, not to mention I can increase the effect in the script through the use of perks.

Actually I forgot I had defined MyTarget as AkTarget as an Actor. I had tried that earlier when working to AddSpell but it wasn't working.. Perhaps because I was not using DoCombatSpellApply or whatever.. You will see a number of other things that are irrelivant to the script that I had tried at one point in time to get the addspell to work like Actor TargetActor = GetTargetActor() None of which was working.

I just have not cleaned that stuff out yet..

Actually I have completely resolved this issue now and everything is working perfectly. I may just try to find a way for the effects of disease to be cured but its not a big deal either way since I have heard that SetAB is only temporary until the next save or load anyways although I need to verify that myself.
