Reference a projectile to track its position

Does anyone know of a way to reference a projectile fired by a spell? I need to track its position as it moves to do some stuff.

Maybe you can use Spawnable Triggerboxes: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61245/

 

When casting the spell, spawn or move a triggerbox to the caster. Have a script on the box that's something like:

 

Scriptname TM_ObjectRefScript extends ObjectReference

Projectile Property MyProjectile Auto

Event OnTriggerLeave(ObjectReference akActionRef)
    Form Base = akActionRef.GetBaseObject() 
    If Base as Projectile 
        If Base == MyProjectile 
            ;Do something with akActionRef, it's the projectile we're looking for. 
        Endif 
    Endif 
EndEvent

I didn't end up using the mod, but you certainly put me on the right path! I got it all worked out now; Diablo II frozen orb spell. Have a good one buddy :D
