I need to find a way to reference multiple actors that are nearby an activator, because I want the activator to cast a certain spell at every actor that is within a certain radius of it.

I'm using this function right now:

But of course that will only return one actor at a time, I want to detect all of the actors, or atleast up to a certain number that are around my activator reference. I can't find any function that does this

I was thinking I could use a trigger box, but the problem is that I am using this in a spell that will place the activator near the player, and it seems that when I use placeatme for an activator, the script that is on the activator will not run.
