SSE Why aren't my spell conditions working?

[subyng]

I'm trying to cast a spell on a player that will poll their health periodically. Apparently conditions added to the spell only fire once when the spell is cast, whereas conditions added to the magic effect are checked constantly. But this doesn't seem to work. Both the condition on the spell AND magic effect only seem to be checked when the spell is cast. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: according to https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Magic_Effect spell-side effects are checked every second. However it doesn't seem to be working with the way I have it set up; it is checked only once.

Make the Spell Type Ability instead of Spell and it should work.

 

EDIT:

Or add a duration to your spell on the magic effects. That might work as well.

Putting a duration did the trick! Thanks!

No problem, happy modding!
