Reanimation Interrupt Mod

[heckdo]

Hey everyone,

 

So I'm not great with scripting and the CK is being a pain. I'm trying to create a simple mod that will reanimate an undead and then interrupt the raising by disintegrating them midway through the animation process.

 

I've mucked around with some AI help and this is what I have so far:

Scriptname ReanimateThenDisintegrateScript extends ActiveMagicEffect

Spell Property ReanimateSpell Auto
EffectShader Property DisintegrateFX Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

    If akTarget == None
        Return
    EndIf

    ; If target is already dead
    If akTarget.IsDead()
        ReanimateAndDestroy(akTarget)
        Return
    EndIf

    ; If target is alive, wait for death
    RegisterForSingleUpdate(1.0)

EndEvent

Event OnUpdate()

    Actor target = GetTargetActor()

    If target == None
        Return
    EndIf

    If target.IsDead()
        ReanimateAndDestroy(target)
    Else
        ; Keep checking until dead
        RegisterForSingleUpdate(1.0)
    EndIf

EndEvent

Function ReanimateAndDestroy(Actor target)

    ; Cast vanilla reanimate spell
    If ReanimateSpell != None
        ReanimateSpell.Cast(GetCasterActor(), target)
    EndIf

    ; Wait during rising animation
    Utility.Wait(2.5)

    ; Play disintegration shader if assigned
    If DisintegrateFX != None
        target.PlayEffectShader(DisintegrateFX, 2.0)
    EndIf

    Utility.Wait(1.5)

    ; Force ash pile
    target.KillEssential(GetCasterActor())
    target.SetCriticalStage(target.CritStage_DisintegrateStart)

EndFunction

 

 

If anyone could use this to make a spell (or let me know if something in the script is wrong), I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
