I am trying to make a power which should push the target some distance away before doing damage, as it stands the push effect is not being applied
pvoid main() {

object oCaster = OBJECT_SELF;

if( GetGoodEvilValue( oCaster ) < 51 ) {
int nForce, nFP, nHP;
effect costDamage;
effect push = EffectForcePushed();
push = EffectLinkEffects( push, EffectVisualEffect( VFX_IMP_FORCE_PUSH ) );
effect ecaster, eDamage;
object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();
while( GetIsObjectValid( oTarget ) ) {
if( !GetIsDead(oTarget) && GetIsEnemy(oTarget) ) {
nForce = GetCurrentForcePoints( oCaster ) * 2;
nFP = GetCurrentForcePoints( oTarget ) / 5;
nHP = GetCurrentHitPoints( oTarget );
ecaster = EffectHeal( nHP );
ecaster = EffectLinkEffects( ecaster, EffectDamageForcePoints(20));
eDamage = EffectDamageForcePoints( nForce );
eDamage = EffectLinkEffects( eDamage, EffectDamage( nForce, DAMAGE_TYPE_DARK_SIDE ));
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, push, oTarget, 0.2);
ActionWait(0.3);
ApplyEffectToObject( DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDamage, oTarget );
ApplyEffectToObject( DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, ecaster, oCaster );

ActionWait(0.5);
if( GetIsDead( oTarget ) ) {
AdjustCreatureAttributes( oCaster, Random(6), 1 );
AddBonusForcePoints( oCaster, nFP );
}
}

}
}
}

Is your character darkside?

Sounds obvious but its the little things that people miss.

yes, i have also tried using DelayCommand(); to make the damage portion fire after the push has finnished but that only causes my game to freeze


nevermind managed to fix
included below is the source i used incase anyone has trouble with this sort of thing again, and yes by turning an If Statement into its own function i was able to delay it using DelayCommand();
void Getdead (int nFP, object oTarget, object oCaster)
{
if(GetIsDead(oTarget))
{
AdjustCreatureAttributes( oCaster, Random(6), 1 );
AddBonusForcePoints( oCaster, nFP );
}
}

void main() {

object oCaster = OBJECT_SELF;

if( GetGoodEvilValue( oCaster ) < 11 )
{
int nForce, nFP, nHP;
effect costDamage;
effect push = EffectForcePushed();
push = EffectLinkEffects( push, EffectVisualEffect( VFX_IMP_FORCE_PUSH ) );
effect ecaster, eDamage;
object oTarget = GetFirstObjectInShape(SHAPE_SPHERE, 25.0, GetLocation(OBJECT_SELF), FALSE, OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE );
while( GetIsObjectValid( oTarget ))
{
if(GetIsEnemy(oTarget))
{
nForce = GetCurrentForcePoints( oCaster ) * 4;
nFP = GetCurrentForcePoints( oTarget ) / 5;
nHP = GetCurrentHitPoints( oTarget );
ecaster = EffectHeal( nHP );
ecaster = EffectLinkEffects( ecaster, EffectDamageForcePoints(20));
eDamage = EffectDamageForcePoints( nForce );
eDamage = EffectLinkEffects( eDamage, EffectDamage( nForce, DAMAGE_TYPE_DARK_SIDE ));
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, push, oTarget, 0.8);
DelayCommand(0.9, ApplyEffectToObject( DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDamage, oTarget ));
DelayCommand(0.9, ApplyEffectToObject( DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, ecaster, oCaster ));
DelayCommand(1.5, Getdead(nFP, oTarget, oCaster));

}
oTarget = GetNextObjectInShape(SHAPE_SPHERE, 25.0, GetLocation(OBJECT_SELF), FALSE, OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE );

}
}
}

and the single target version
void Getdead (int nFP, object oTarget, object oCaster)
{
if(GetIsDead(oTarget))
{
AdjustCreatureAttributes( oCaster, Random(6), 1 );
AddBonusForcePoints( oCaster, nFP );
}
}

void main() {

object oCaster = OBJECT_SELF;

if( GetGoodEvilValue( oCaster ) < 51 ) {
int nForce, nFP, nHP;
effect costDamage;
effect push = EffectForcePushed();
push = EffectLinkEffects( push, EffectVisualEffect( VFX_IMP_FORCE_PUSH ) );
effect ecaster, eDamage;
object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();
nForce = GetCurrentForcePoints( oCaster ) * 2;
nFP = GetCurrentForcePoints( oTarget ) / 5;
nHP = GetCurrentHitPoints( oTarget );
ecaster = EffectHeal( nHP );
ecaster = EffectLinkEffects( ecaster, EffectDamageForcePoints(20));
eDamage = EffectDamageForcePoints( nForce );
eDamage = EffectLinkEffects( eDamage, EffectDamage( nForce, DAMAGE_TYPE_DARK_SIDE ));
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, push, oTarget, 0.8);
DelayCommand(0.9, ApplyEffectToObject( DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDamage, oTarget ));
DelayCommand(0.9, ApplyEffectToObject( DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, ecaster, oCaster ));
DelayCommand(2.5, Getdead(nFP, oTarget, oCaster));





}
}
void SP_MyApplyEffectToObject(int nDurationType, effect eEffect, object oTarget, float fDuration=0.0);
