Usage
begin ScriptEffectStart
Special block type used only by Magic Effect scripts. This block will run on the first iteration of a scripted spell effect.
The fact that Script Effect Spells run on whoever has been hit by the spell, basically gives the programmer the ability to apply a script on any Actor in the game for a period of time, and can be used for getting Actor reference and many other effects.
Note: When a scripted effect is used as a weapon enchantment effect, the effect will take place AFTER the weapon hits (ie. The weapon damage will occur before the scripted effect). This means the the scripted effect can be used for soul trap like effects that need to occur after death.
