You could always place some debug output at certain points in the script using debug.messagebox(). That way you could determine if the event is even handled at all, for example: Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) debug.messagebox("Event received") If Ready EliFollower.MoveTo(Game.GetPlayer(), 5, 0, 5, true) SummonMessage.Show() Ready = False Utility.Wait(3.0) Ready = True EndIf EndEvent Does the script compile without errors?

Hmm, have you assigned the properties properly in the CK? Maybe you need to cast the return value of Game.GetPlayer() as an ObjectReference, e.g. EliFollower.MoveTo((Game.GetPlayer() as ObjectReference), 5, 0, 5, true) Otherwise it looks okay to me...

Okay, I finally got it to work. :smile: In case anyone is interested in the solution: Playing the BatSprintStart Animation naturally did not work as the PC's race is not VampireLord. I got it to work using the "VoiceWhirlwindSprintLong" animation, although I had to copy it in the CK and remove the conditions attached to it. I used the following script for the magic effect (edited version of the vanilla bat script): Scriptname VelyaBatsEffectScript extends ActiveMagicEffect Idle Property VelyaVoiceStart Auto ; references "VoiceStart" animation Idle Property VelyaVoiceWhirlwindSprintLong Auto ; references "VoiceWhirlwindSprintLong" (copied) animation spell Property VelyaVampireBatsPower Auto actor CasterActor = None bool bBatsAreGoCheck = False Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) CasterActor = akCaster CasterActor.PlayIdle(VelyaVoiceStart) Utility.Wait(0.1) if CasterActor.PlayIdle(VelyaVoiceWhirlwindSprintLong) bBatsAreGoCheck = true endif EndEvent

A small addendum: I also thought about using the Whirlwind Sprint animation instead, but it did not work properly. Is it even possible to play such animations using the Actor.PlayIdle() function?

Hey guys, I was planning to recreate the "Bats" Power in order to use it in human form. I briefly looked through the magic effect and its attached scripts and have been successful in copying the effect and getting the attached script to work. I quickly realised that things probably won't be as easy though, as the bat power relies on an animation that I presume is only available while your race is changed to the Vampire Lord race (BatSprintStart). Also it seems that when I use the Actor.PlayIdle() Function on the Player and passing the Property of BatSprintStart to it (that's how the vanilla Bat-Script does it), the animation won't play and PlayIdle() will not return true. Am I completely wrong in the way I imagine things to work? :DHow would you guys solve the problem?When I get back home I will try to post the code of my non-functioning script. Thanks a lot

Hello Forums, I am looking for a mod that adds spells mimicking the effects of the dragon shouts into the game. My current character won't follow the main quest, won't be the dragonborn and as such won't learn shouts. I have already found the "Master of Time and Space" Mod that at least adds the functionality of the "Slow Time" shout. Any mod recommendations? Thank you
