    I've a question referring the condition system:
    Background:
    There is a condition called EffectWasDualCast.
    If it it used on an Magiceffect type Object(e.g. inside the spell->Effect or the MagicEffect Conditions tab) on Target if returns whether the effect was dualcast or not so far so god.
    If used inside a perks entry point spell conditions tab (e.g. perk->new entry point -> mod spell magnitude -> spell conditions it only returns false, as the running object is a spell not an effect.
    The Question:
    Is it possible to change this behaviour (e.g. by a skse plugin) into returning the result of the condition used on the 1. effect?
    The Objective:
    This would allow an easy replacement of the vanilla dualcast system e.g. allow different multipliers for different effect types based on keywords(something that would be really handy for (re)balancing mods).

    Question: I used auto-install for SKSE on the site, and when I opened Skyrim I got the same error twice. It said SKSE wasn't running; I checked, the files are there, in my Skyrim Steam folder, where they should be. But I feel like I'm missing something. :/

    I followed the instructions carefully, and when launch the SKSE launcher, it opens the game with the official loader. And when I get to the menu and type getSKSEversion into the console, it says that it is an unknown command... what have I done wrong?

    when i try to run it through the skse loader i get an error saying: "couldn't find tesv.exe." now when i copied the skse files into the skyrim folder there was a tesv file, but it didn't have the .exe with it. even after i allowed hidden files to show... please help

    Nvm i realized i wasn't using the loader from the skyrim file but the one from the extracted archive :p

    Every time I click to "save link as" and send it to the desktop, I only receive a file that does not offer the "Extract" command or any like it. The icon is a blank page, which it isn't in the video. Can anyone help me to figure out how I can download it correctly?

    Jetfire--you need to change your windows file associations. Probably the first time you accidentally clicked to open with media player, and had the box check to make that your default.
