Hey everyone,

on my new mod I'm working on, I've made an ability.
The duration of this ability is set, so it won't be infinitive.
But after you see the duration in the upper right corner run out, the ability will just stay there.
It seems to never run the ScriptEffectFinish block, which should be run after the duration has ended, right?

I'd rather not reveal too much of my script

I'm assuming your using something like:

Begin ScriptEffectStart Player.AddSpell [Ability-TypeSpell]End

If so, you may be able to use a Quest Script, something like:

If ( Player.IsSpellTarget [MainSpell] == 0 )  If ( Player.IsSpellTarget [Ability-TypeSpell] == 1 )    Player.RemoveSpell [Ability-TypeSpell]  EndIfEndIf

I'd think that for duration-set abilities, the effects might be finite, but the ability itself is not, because I don't think an ability will actually leave the target like a spell that is dispelled.

Use a script to remove the ability manually instead, should work. Set it to Magic Effect and add it to the ability itself so the ability can clean up itself

Yes I figured out a way.
I already had a timer in my script and just modified the script to remove the spell at the last second.
And it works fine


Yes, well this ability seems to stay active after the duration has ended, both in effects still showing and that the effect icon is still showing in the upper right corner of the screen.

I've ran into the same problem as yours, namely ability won't go away after the supposed "duration" has ended, and now I think I've came into a conclusion: an ability will always active no matter what happens until removed manually
