[SKY] Noob needing help on easy script

[allidoischill]

Hi everyone. This is the first script I've tried to code in papyrus, and what I'm trying to do is is make a magic effect that will take the target of a spell and change the actor's race into a Skeleton Custom Race. Here's what I've got:

Scriptname ZNECskeliscript extends activemagiceffect

ObjectReference property SkeletonRace auto

Event OnSpellCast (Actor Target, Actor Caster)

Target.SetRace(SkeletonRace)

EndEvent

output is as follows:

ZNECskeliscript.psc(7,7): type mismatch on parameter 1 (did you forget a cast?)

ZNECskeliscript.psc(5,0): the parameter types of function onspellcast in the empty state on script znecskeliscript do not match the parent script activemagiceffect

No output generated for ZNECskeliscript, compilation failed.

So I think the issue revolves around the SetRace function and how it doesn't belong in the activemagiceffect functions since it's an actor function, but I have no idea how to get around that. Any help would be much appreciated.

SkeletonRace is a "Race" function, not an Object Reference (Check your properties)
