::No, I am not Kyoma. I believe that on the Official Elder Scroll Forums I am Shadow_Dancer if I recall correctly. No matter how you managed it, I am glad that you got your script working Raziel23x. I don't know whether using a Magic Effect script is better or not. I see no reason not to use one if I am scripting a spell that needs a menu for some reason. Honestly, it seems easier to include a menu for a magic effect in the spell script itself, but that is probably due to the different computer languages that I have learned. To me, short, simple, and functional is elegant.

My thoughts are this: If you want a spell to trigger a menu system, you have the spell set a variable and have the menu script in an activator. Same with tokens - if you need tokens to determine whether or not a menu should be displayed, have the tokens set variables on the activator and have the activator run the script. Tokens and spells add a ton of headaches, complexity, and possiblity for errors that are just completely unnecessary in '''every''' situation. Unless I am seriously missing something, there is no good reason to have the menu script actually within the spells or tokens. It's unnecessary and error-prone, and really is not any simpler.<br />
