== Notes ==
*To get the player's combat targets, you can either cast an AoE spell in the vicinity of the player, with the script attached to the spell could be:
 
<pre>begin scriptEffectStart
    if ( getCombatTarget == player )
        ; Do stuff
    endIf
end</pre>
 
To use a centralized script, have the spell pass the NPC's reference to an [[Activate|activator]] [[Activation_Functions|function]]
begin ScriptEffectStart
    if (GetCombatTarget == player)
        set ActRef.rNPC to GetSelf
        ActRef.Activate player, 1
    endif
end
 
The downside - each NPC can't have its own set of variables, but most of the time their not necessary.
 
* In turn, OBSE's [[GetFirstRef|Reference Walking Functions]] to get the references within a certain proximity to the player, check for their combat targets and do the appropriate code. Make sure this script in second intervals or greater. To track the combat targets, a [[Pluggy|Pluggy]] reference array can be used.
