[LE] GetRace Not Working?

[OneOnOne1162]

your code is

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akCaster, Actor akTarget)

should be (look at vanilla script "ActiveMagicEffect.psc")

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

No idea what are your spell conditions and the condition for your globalVar is also mysterious for me. Maybe next sample brings light to you.

; akSource: "The ObjectReference from which to cast the spell.
;           The source must be able to cast this spell (testings seem to show anything will work, regardless whether they have the spell or not)."

; akTarget: "An optional ObjectReference at which to aim the spell.
;           If None is passed and the spell needs a direction, it will be aimed in a default direction."


EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
    race r = akTarget.GetRace()
    Debug.Trace(self+" OnEffectStart() - target = " +akTarget+", with race = " +r)

IF (r == NordRace)
ELSE
    Debug.Notification("Target is not a Nord.")
    RETURN    ; - STOP -

    float f = glNordEffect.GetValue()

    IF     (f == 0.0)
        Debug.Notification("You hit a Nord.")

Just switched around akTarget and akCaster like you said and now it works perfectly. I hadn't noticed that I had switched them the wrong way around. >.<

 

Sorry for bothering everyone with this, but this mistake had slipped passed me completely.

 

Anyway, thank you all for your help! And thank you RedDragon2013 for providing me with the solution!
