I have run into http://i.imgur.com/sRnym1g.png while testing out a script which is meant to simply cast a spell at the player on proximity. It says: "Scale Parameters for Magic Effect Damage Health are bad."

This is the script:

begin md15_scr_curse_deathif ( GetDistance, Player < 256 )	if ( Player->GetSpellEffects, "md15_curse_death" == 1 )		Return	else		Cast, "md15_curse_death", Player	endifendifend

And these are http://i.imgur.com/6pXDQlD.png.

The strange thing is that I have nearly the exact same script with a levitation effect and it works perfectly well.

begin md15_scr_levitate_fieldif ( GetDistance, Player < 512 )	if ( Player->GetSpellEffects, "md15_spell_levitate_touch" )		Return	else		Cast, "md15_spell_levitate_touch", Player	endifendifend

I'm not sure what other factors could be at play here...

Well, as I was posting this I had a suspicion of what the issue could be. I was using the editormarker for the first script which seems to freak the engine out if you tell a TRULY invisible object (marker-type) to cast a spell. The odd thing though was that I would only get the error a couple of times and then it would operate normally. But instead I changed to a transparent object which seems to have fixed the error completely.

IIRC casting object must have collision
[EDIT]by the way, script would be more efficient this way

begin md15_scr_levitate_fieldif ( Player->GetSpellEffects, "md15_spell_levitate_touch" )	Returnendifif ( GetDistance, Player < 512 )	Cast, "md15_spell_levitate_touch", Playerendifend

Thanks for the suggestion and input, abot!

I've written about 15 scripts for my ModTown claim and I would probably be better off posting them to be scrutinized prior to release as I tend to just brute force these things. Not much finesse in my scripts.
