Hello community.

I am working on a mod that one small aspect will have a quest update when the player casts a specific spell at a specific npc.

I considered using the OnSpellCast, but do not know if it is when the target casts it or the player. I assume the script would need to be attached to the target and that it would be some manner of "activemagiceffect" type script. My Scripting knowledge is very basic but I would assume it would be something like this.

Sorry for the sadness that is my scripting ability but help with this would really speed things along for me.

I intend to enable the creature when the quest starts to avoid quest breaking and OnDeath for player failure.

Thank you

ScriptName ExampleQuestTrigger Extends ObjectReference{attach this script to the npc that the player is supposed to hit};make sure to fill all three of these properties by pressing the "Properties";button in the Creation Kit after attaching this script to the actor!Actor Property PlayerRef AutoQuest Property QuestName01  AutoMagicEffect Property ModdedSpell AutoEvent OnMagicEffectApply(ObjectReference akCaster, MagicEffect akEffect)    if (akCaster == PlayerRef && akEffect == ModdedSpell)        QuestName01.SetStage(100)        GoToState("Disabled")    endifEndEventState Disabled    Event OnMagicEffectApply(ObjectReference akCaster, MagicEffect akEffect)        ;when we are in the disabled state, this won't do anything anymore    EndEventEndState

I will be building the quest now. Thank you. I will test it but at a glance it seems solid.

I will also report success but it will take me a while.

Thank you.
