Guards automatically dispelling spells and/or cancelling scripts?

[0lexan]

Hello, I was testing some scripting and spells, and I found that guards seem to automatically dispel spells. I originally had a cloak spell that would add an ability to the guard, but they did not seem to take any effect while any other actor did. I am wondering if there is a work around for this behavior that they have? Script 1:

Scriptname AAAA_TestFixScript extends activemagiceffect  

Actor Property ActorFromRef Auto
MagicEffect Property MI_DeathEffect_ME Auto
Spell Property MI_DeathEffect_Spell Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
	RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.05)
EndEvent

Event OnUpdate()
	ActorFromRef = Game.FindRandomActorFromRef(Game.GetPlayer(), 5000.0)
	if (ActorFromRef.HasMagicEffect(MI_DeathEffect_ME) == 0)
		ActorFromRef.AddSpell(MI_DeathEffect_Spell)
	endif
	registerforsingleupdate(0.05)
EndEvent

This would simply grab a random actor and add the ability manually, since I was having trouble adding the ability to guards.

Script 2 simply had a debug.trace to check if the ability was successfully added to the character, along with a GetActorBase().GetName().

 

Any and all help is appreciated.
