Can you set a function into a float variable?

Here is My script

 

 

Scriptname DwemerDestructionScaling extends activemagiceffect

Event OnEffectStart (Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

If akTarget == game.getPlayer()

float Damage = 50*((game.getPlayer().getAV("Destruction"))/20)

float Current = game.getplayer().ForceActorValue("DestructionPowerMod", Damage)

float Goal = Current-Damage

Utility.Wait(960.0)

game.getplayer().ForceActorValue("DestructionPowerMod", Goal)

EndIf

EndEvent

Here are the errors:

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

ForceActorValue does not return a float. Therefore you cannot assign it to a variable. If the function returned a float, then yes you could do that.

 

You might want to try:

Scriptname DwemerDestructionScaling extends activemagiceffect  
 
Event OnEffectStart (Actor akTarget,  Actor akCaster)
	If akTarget == game.getPlayer()
		float Damage = 50*((akTarget.getAV("Destruction"))/20)
		akTarget.ForceActorValue("DestructionPowerMod", Damage)
		float Current = akTarget.GetActorValue("DestructionPowerMod")
		float Goal = Current-Damage
		Utility.Wait(960.0)
		akTarget.ForceActorValue("DestructionPowerMod", Goal)
	EndIf
EndEvent 

Since you have already compared akTarget to Game.GetPlayer() there is no point in continuing to use Game.GetPlayer(). You can make it more thread safe and faster by simply using akTarget instead.

 

You are suspending the script for 960 seconds? That is a lot of time, why not make the effect have a duration of 960 seconds instead. Then you can use the OnEffectFinish event to do the final actor value adjustment.

Thank you so much for replying, imma have to try it right away.

That is a good point, ill use OnEffectDuration, 960 seconds was supposed to be the length of the transformation. However, the script works but not perfectly, it does reduce the destruction damage, yet it reduces it too far.
