Hi,

I've created a spell using a script to spawn an actor when I cast it. I'm not using the built in summon spell to summon the actor but a script (so that I can spawn more than 1 of them (or 2 with twin souls)). Right now it just uses the OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) event and akTarget.placeatme to spawn actor. This means if i cast it at the ground it spawns on me.

Can anyone tell me how/what event I would use to make the actor spawn where i cast the spell?

I guess, you need to change your http://www.creationkit.com/Magic_Effect method to Target Location.

I have my delivery method as target location, but it is a script doing the summoning, not just the built in summon creature effect, so my query is how do i get that target location in the script and spawn my actor at it. My script is based off the "HowlWerewolfSummonWolvesEffect"s and the script that they have to do the summoning.

have you tried using a XMarker (Activator) location yet?

Set it up with a projectile, have the projectile spawn an (invisible) explosion, and drop an invisible activator. Do the placeatme on that. Be sure to delete the activator after the summon, so you can place your next NPC in a different spot.

(Shudders at the thought of 100 Ciceros...)

Thank you Redwood, I ended up reading through a couple posts about that and after a bunch of trial an error managed to figure out how to do it and got mine working.
