I can't find where I'm going wrong trying to convert Ghoulish to be more like Rad Child

[whyareall]

We all know that Ghoulish is awful and that it should have been more like Rad Child. So I decided to fix it and make it so. I checked out Life Giver rank 3 to find out how to have a perk give constant health regen, and also the Inquisitor's Hood to find out how to have it be conditional on radiation level.

 

I created a new Ability in the Creation Kit called AbPerkGhoulish, which has 27 different effects. 1 effect per 100 rads, so 9, and three of each of them for each rank of the perk. So at rank 1, you gain 0.5 hp/s for every 100 rads, at rank 2 you gain 1, at rank 3 you gain 1.5. I also removed the existing 'gain hp as a multiple of rads being taken'

 

The first rank of my new Ghoulish perk gives you the ability AbPerkGhoulish, and the other two ranks are just there to be checked by AbPerkGhoulish (this is how the Toughness perk does it, and since it's a linear increase like Toughness I figured that would be the best way for it to work).

 

I have a character with over 200 rads, less than max health, who stubbornly refuses to regain lost health as he should (which obviously is bad) but also doesn't regain health from gaining radiation (which is good, it shows the game IS using my mod, even if it isn't working). My load order has a grand total of one mod, which is the aforementioned 'Ghoulish to Rad Child.esp'. Please help!

Update: Debugging has shown that the issue is that for whatever reason, AbPerkGhoulish is not active (I added a line to it to give 999 health regen always, no dice). And I have tried removing and re-adding the perk in case it had to be refreshed somehow.

Found where I was going wrong. I was meant to use AbRestoreHealth instead of AbFortifyHealRate, which suggests that Life Giver and rank 3 of Solar Powered which also use AbFortifyHealRate don't worj
