[How to] getting variables from an active magic effect into a quest script.

[jbezorg]

The base quest script

Scriptname _ae_framework extends Quest  Conditional

Actor[]             Property monitored        Auto
ActiveMagicEffect[] Property monitoredEffect  Auto

The magic effect script ( assuming that the actor that is the spell target has already been added to monitored[] )

Scriptname _ae_events_mes extends activemagiceffect  

_ae_framework   property ae                    auto
String          property test = "hello world"  auto  

Int magicEffectIdx

event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
	magicEffectIdx = ae.monitored.Find(akTarget)
	ae.monitoredEffect[ magicEffectIdx ] = self
endEvent

event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
	ae.monitoredEffect[ magicEffectIdx ] = none
endEvent

Now the base quest can access the active magic effect through monitoredEffect[]

String function GetActiveMagicEffectString(Actor akActor)
	Int idx = monitored.Find(akActor)
	if idx >= 0
		return ( monitoredEffect[idx] as _ae_events_mes ).test
	endIf
endFunction
