Need help with a script to toggle a spell effect off when magicka &#60

[brothir]

I'm making a mod where I rework spells such as Night Eye to be toggleable. They are also supposed to end when the user has no magicka left.

Scriptname aaaNightEyeScriptEffect

Begin ScriptEffectStart

	If ( player.IsSpellTarget NightEyeScriptEffect == 0 )
		player.AddSpell NightEyeScriptEffect 
	else
		player.RemoveSpell NightEyeScriptEffect
	endif

End


Begin ScriptEffectUpdate

	if ( player.GetActorValue Magicka < 1 )
		player.RemoveSpell NightEyeScriptEffect
	endif

End

The problem here is with the ScriptEffectUpdate: it doesn't end the spell when the user's magicka is less than 1 (or any value for that matter, tested it on <10 etc.). For reference, the NightEyeScriptEffect is an ability that grants Night Eye and damages 4 magicka, so that every second you have the spell active you lose 4 magicka.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

What's the duration of the spell that aaaNightEyeScriptEffect is attached to? If it is set to zero, ScriptEffectUpdate will never fire.

Ah, so that's how it works. Figured it out now, thanks a lot :laugh:
