I am wanting to know the best method to go about adding spells to NPCs and Creatures without having to add them manually to each one. Currently I have this script constantly running in the background of my mod:

Begin AI_Attack        Short HasSpell        Float HasWeaponDrawn        Float HasHealth        Float Timer        long AIRef ;change the variables to whatever you want        long tmp        ifx ( AIRef )                setx AIRef to xNextRef AIRef ;finds the next NPC or creature in the cell        else                setx AIRef to xFirstNPC ;finds the first NPC or creature in the cell        endif        if ( AIRef == 0 )   ;end of list or empty cell                return        endif        setx tmp to AIRef->xRefType        if ( tmp != 1598246990 ) ;if not type NPC                if ( tmp != 1095062083 ) ;if not type Creature                        return                endif        endif        xSetRef AIRef        set HasSpell to ( Getspell, "Ai Realistic Striking" )        If ( HasSpell != 1 )                if ( MenuMode == 0 )                        AIRef->Addspell, "Ai Realistic Striking"                elseif ( MenuMode == 1 );                        AIRef->Removespell, "Ai Realistic Striking"                endif        endifend

It gets the job done, however it makes Morrowind crash nearly every time you try to re-load a game with the mod enabled if this script was running when saving. Does anyone know of a method to prevent the crashing yet still have the script add that spell to all NPCs and Creatures near the player?

At the top of the script detect loading and set AIRef to 0 when the game is loaded. Info on detecting loading should be in MWSFD

Thanks Yacoby! I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

        If ( HasSpell != 1 )                if ( MenuMode == 0 )                        AIRef->Addspell, "Ai Realistic Striking"                elseif ( MenuMode == 1 );                        AIRef->Removespell, "Ai Realistic Striking"  ; this removes nothing                endif        endif 

Try something like this

If ( HasSpell )	if ( MenuMode )		AIRef->Removespell "Ai Realistic Striking"	endifelseif ( MenuMode == 0 )	AIRef->Addspell "Ai Realistic Striking"endif

Thanks. It seems Yacoby's suggestion worked as well as yours Abot.
