[LE] Dispel Magic Effect When Magicka Drops Below X

[gitsas]

Hi everyone, I'm new to scripting and for the love of God I just cant figure out how to solve this one. I'd really appreciate your help!

 

I've created a togglable Heal (Lesser Power, Voice). It Heals the Caster for 10p per Second while draining 10p Magicka per second. I want the spell to Dispel when Magicka drops below a certain number or when the user runs out of Magicka.

 

 

 

So far the spell works perfectly, It's toggleable, it Heals, and it Drains Magicka as planned. I've used this script:

 

Scriptname toggleability extends activemagiceffect  

Spell Property AbilityToBeToggled Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

If akTarget.HasSpell(AbilityToBeToggled)
akTarget.DispelSpell(AbilityToBeToggled)
akTarget.RemoveSpell(AbilityToBeToggled)

Else

akTarget.AddSpell(AbilityToBeToggled, False)
EndIf

EndEvent

The problem is this: When Magicka depletes, the spell is still active. It keeps draining Magicka instead of ending.

 

 

I've tried adding an additional script:

Scriptname AAAOutOfMagicka extends activemagiceffect 

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
akTarget.GetActorValue("Magicka")


If akTarget.GetActorValue("Magicka") < 10
akTarget.DispelAllSpells()


EndIf
EndEvent

The Script compiles, but it doesn't work, the spell is still active.

 

I was thinking maybe a While Loop would be the answer but I don't know how to go about it.

 

I'd appreciate your help!

You can put the condition directly on your ability spell in the creation kit. Put GetActorValue Magicka >= 10. Then in your script you can use OnEffectFinish to dispel your spell. I wouldn't use DispellAllSpells as that dispels all active spells on the target.
