I've fixed up the script a bit and organized some stuff more logically. Compiles.
Use the script on the spell's magic effect of course. The akTarget variable will fill automatically with whatever creature you cast the spell on.
I'm assuming that you're using the "AlreadyTamedGlobal" global variable so that you can only have one tamed creature at any time? Otherwise the use of the global variable is not suitable that way.

I tested the script and it seems to be working, but not the whole script. What i can see is that he is changing race acording to plan. however, he is still attacking me. I there is a
stopcombat() in the script so it shouldt be the case. What do you think is causing this?

That could be caused by several things:
Aggression could be too high – reduce it.
The creature might be a member of more than 1 faction that is hostile – Use RemoveFromAllFactions instead.
The creature might be becoming hostile again before the faction change. – Use StopCombatAlarm as well.

Possibly also use EnableAI(false) to turn it’s AI off while you work on the creature and EnableAI() to turn it back on when you’re ready.

Possibly also use MakePlayerFriend()

Try combinations of these until it works. Changes like the one you’re trying can be tricky and unpredictable and the only way to be sure if it will work is to try it out.

What Eckss suggests. You can also try adding another StopCombat() near the end of the script after the factions are set, just before the SuccessMessage01 is shown.

It would still seem like it doesnt work, however.. The Beast Stopped attacking me, and changed race, but he didt become the alias that i set him to be. Therefor i could not speak with him ( he didt get the follower dialog ). for a animal follower to work they need a special script attached to them, but since this "aktarget" can be a random beast i want the quest to pick him up as an alias, cause i´ve set up the alias with all the neccessary Scripts etc.


Anyone have a clue whats wrong?

all that comes up now is the debug.notification that says " Target´s not Valid for taming ". like if some requirement weren´t met :/

I'm not experienced at doing quests, but you could try passing the ReferenceAlias to your script as a property:

ReferenceAlias Property myAlias auto

just rename "myAlias" to match the name of your alias so you can auto-fill the property

then try this:

myAlias.ForceRefTo(akTarget)

It would seem like it doesnt work, atleast the " Not valid for taming " is gone now since i put the " TamedBeastAlias.ForceRefTo(akTarget) " inside the script, but it would seem like it doesnt do something with it, no dialogue doesnt work anyway. Any more suggestions? :)

I'm in the same boat, I always have trouble getting Aliases to work and I usually give up and try a different method. (In your case that would be to disable the creature and replace it with a new one that is already set up with everything you want.)

However, in the Alias situation, if the error has stopped, does that mean that the Alias is filled? If so, perhaps you need to look at the conditions you've put on the dialogue to see what's stopping it from coming up.
