== Calling this function when the parent effect is no longer exist ==
Attempt to call this if an effect the script attached to is no longer exist or no longer active results in error, but it can be avoided.
<source lang="papyrus">
Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
RegisterForSingleUpdate(5)
EndEvent
; let's pretend that somewhere between RegisterForSingleUpdate() func call and OnUpdate() event the active magic effect has expired or stopped satisfying activity conditions
Event OnUpdate()
If (self as bool) ; this line checks if the active magic effect is still exist
RegisterForSingleUpdate(5)  ; attempt to call this without the check above will result in "unable to call" error in log, because the effect is no longer active
EndIf
EndEvent
</source>
This simple check '''reduces''' the chance of "unable to call RegisterForSingleUpdate()" error (it can still appear in fortunately rare cases). --[[User:Ingvion|Ingvion]] ([[User talk:Ingvion|talk]]) 12:07, 13 July 2023 (EDT)

Using this function within several different states of the same script might be done very carefully : [[1]] --FR dZastrX (talk) 2013-03-20T13:09:57 (EDT)
