Notes[edit | edit source]
- You may not attach a script to an actor if that actor would be used by a leveled actor list. If an actor is used in a leveled actor list, its "Scripts" section will be disabled.
- There is a workaround for this in cases where you need actors to be both leveled and scripted - you can create a constant/self magic effect and apply that at the race level. For example, the FXDragonBloodDamageScript handles applying some special blood FX to dragons through combat. Since dragons are used to populate leveled lists, however, this script is attached to AbFXDragonBloodDamage, which is an effect on the AbDragonBloodFX spell. That's then assigned as a special racial ability of the DragonRace. You can see a similar example in how the WispMothers work, too.
