Conditional properties

What does it actually mean if a property is "conditional"? I'm assuming this means I can access it through conditions in spells and such, is this right? Fowl 20:24, 7 February 2012 (EST)

The conditional keyword seems to be described here - Papyrus Introduction: Writing Custom Functions

It's hardly the most obvious place, however. Perhaps the keyword reference should be expanded?

That's awesome, thank you. I'm going to add that link to the article Fowl 19:13, 8 February 2012 (EST)

Manipulating Properties

I can't seem to get the referencing. I'm in an active magic effect (AME) script wanting to add/subtract on an Int property attached to a quest script. I have a quest property (called QST) attached to the AME script whose value is the quest whose Int property I want to manipulate. But doing a line like (from within the AME script):

QST.IntProperty += 1

just gives a compile error saying that the quest doesn't have property "IntPropery." So, I'm thoroughly confused. I don't completely understand "casting," either. That may have something to do with it. --Doulos 04:53, 11 February 2012 (EST)
