Note: This block won't fire when used as a script effect for '''constant''' (apparel) enchantments. If you need a constant enchantment, you can use two scripts to accomplish the effect.

Usage
begin ScriptEffectUpdate
Special block type used only by Magic Effect scripts. This block will start running on the first iteration of a scripted spell effect and run each time the spell is updated until the spell ends.
Note: This block won't fire when used as a script effect for constant (apparel) enchantments. If you need a constant enchantment, you can use two scripts to accomplish the effect. Put one script on the item to have the enchantment and use the OnEquip and OnUnEquip to add and remove an ability. The script will look like this:
scriptname MyCoolConstantEnchScript ref Wearer begin OnEquip set Wearer to GetContainer Wearer.AddSpell MyCoolConstantEnchAbility End begin OnUnEquip set Wearer to GetContainer Wearer.RemoveSpell MyCoolConstantEnchAbility end
Then, you create the ability and give it a scripted effect. Use the ScriptEffectUpdate block in the script to run the scripted enchantment that you wanted for the item. Remember to code for speed, as this block will be run every frame as long as the player is near.
