Script triggering after race selection?

[SkyrimModHunter]

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a way to trigger a script after one picks their race. 

 

I will use this script to add starting powers and perks.  The benefit of adding them after character selection is that they can later be removed, while spells that are "hard coded" to the race cannot be removed (at least I haven't found a way) even forcefully via a script. 

 

At first I was just going to use this script to add the starting stuff, but since the script triggers before the player picks their race, they don't yet have the ActorTypeDrow keyword.  Thanks for any help that someone might be able to provide.

 

Scriptname yyyRacialDrowStartingSpells extends Quest  

Event OnInit()
    RegisterForSingleUpdate(2.0)
    actor target = Game.GetPlayer()

         Debug.Notification("Checking if Drow")

    if target.hasKeyword(ActorTypeDrow)

         Debug.Notification("Target is a Drow, so adding starter spells")

        target.addspell(ShadowScourgeTigger)
        target.addspell(ShadowStalkerTrigger)
        target.addspell(ShadowSlayerTrigger)
        target.addspell(ShadowSorcererTrigger)
        
        target.addperk(FearedHeritage_0)

        target.addspell(FaerieFire_0)         
        target.addspell(DancingLightTrigger)
        target.addspell(Levitate_0)

    endif

EndEvent

I think I may have found the right event to use so that scripts run after character selection. 

 

Event OnRaceSwitchComplete()
Debug.Trace("This actor's race has finished changing")
endEvent

 

I'm hoping that it'll trigger when first selecting your race, rather than just if one had used "~ showracemenu" to forcefully change it.  Well, time to go test it.

 

EDIT:  I tested this event out, but have been unsuccessful getting it to trigger.  I attached the script to the Actor ID of one of the races preset character gen options.  When I pick that particular character preset, shouldn't the below script get attached to that actor, so that after character creation, the OnRaceSwitchComplete() event would trigger?  I've never used an "extends Actor" type of script before, so it's highly likely that I'm doing something wrong.

 

Scriptname yyyRacialDrowRaceChangeManager extends Actor

 

Event OnRaceSwitchComplete()
Debug.Trace("This actor's race has finished changing")
endEvent
