Magic effect scripts

Magic Effect scripts are special scripts that can be used to create Scripted Magic Effects. They are created using the normal script editing window, but must be marked as Magic Effect scripts in order to be used in this way.

These scripts do not use normal begin/end blocks, since they only run while the spell effect is active on a target. They use three special block types and one special function.

Magic Effect block types:

• ScriptEffectStart
• ScriptEffectFinish
• ScriptEffectUpdate

Other block types are invalid (they will compile but the code inside them will never run).

Magic Effect functions:

• ScriptEffectElapsedSeconds

In all other ways, Magic Effect scripts act like reference scripts, and can use all normal script functions inside the Magic Effect blocks.
