Putting my script in game

[erratichippo]

Hello, I am having some trouble getting my script into the game. It compiles just fine I just dont know how to activate it. The function of this script is to assign a hotkey to cast spells with a two handed weapon. I was getting really annoyed with having to enter a menu screen during my combat sequences to switch to spells. Normally I attach my scripts to an object like a spell or weapon. But I want this script to just run all the time while I am in game. Any idea how I can do that? I suppose I could tie this into an active magic effect that is always on the character, but I am wondering if there is a better way to do this.

 

Thank you
