Creating Radial Attack Spells That React to Enemies

[pyrotx]

I recently started trying to create a new type of spell that would automatically attack enemies within a radius, but without using the cloak spells. I want to reuse the candlelight effect archetype and then attach a script to it. The script is similar to the lightning storm shout effect, mainly because that is the script I am trying to copy. So far the script compiles, but in game it doesn't do anything.

Here is the script so far. Also I have a condition in the spell effect that says it must be hostile to the caster, would that prevent it from working due to it being a remote cast?

Can anyone help me with the script?

Nevermind, I got it working for the most part.
