SetHeight doesn't work

[MimiTheAlchemist]

I am a working on a magic effect script for a mod using setHeight,

and it doesn't work. It is an ability type spell that is supposed

to make my character a little taller, and when I add it to my

character in game, she doesn't get taller. I try saving and reloading,

but she stays the same size. I use the getscale console command

to get her height and it stays at 80 (She is a child.).

 

First I tried this script.

 

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

Game.GetPlayer().GetActorBase().SetHeight(1.01)

Game.GetPlayer().QueueNiNodeUpdate()

 

EndEvent

Then I tried this script.

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

if akTarget == Game.getplayer()

Game.GetPlayer().GetActorBase().SetHeight(1.01)

Game.GetPlayer().QueueNiNodeUpdate()

endif

EndEvent

 

Am I doing something wrong? I would appreciate any

help with this problem so I can get it to work.

Have you tried "setscale" instead of "setheight"? I know when using the console setscale changes height.

[MimiTheAlchemist]

I think you can only use setscale on an ObjectReference.

It doesn't work on Actors.

Actors are just object references with additional properties.

I'll try it. Thanks for your help, Hallgarth and lofgren.

 

Edit: I tried it in the magic effect script, and it would not compile.

So I tried creating a quest and setting up an alias for the player

and it worked. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
