📋 About This Mod
Background:
In Skyrim, ActiveMagicEffect scripts can sometimes abnormally lose their reference to the bound Actor because when a magic effect is ready to expire, the Papyrus VM will aggressively destroy the instance of the script. It will generate errors like this if the script had an event pending before this happened.
Normally it's not important. But when it comes to BowRapidV3,it cannot be avoid that you use bows a lot while the stacks flood. Stacks are like these:'
Error: Unable to call UnregisterForAnimationEvent - no native object bound to the script object, or object is of incorrect type.
This script replacer applies two changes:
First it adds a function to check if the reference is still valid:
This prevents calls to UnRegisterForAnimationEvent if the object reference is missing or unbound.
Then it replaces the main work of UnRegisterForAnimationEven by Papyrus Extender’s OnUnload() event:This ensures cleanup only happens when the script object is fully unloaded by Papyrus.It avoids running unregister logic too early.
Requirement&Compatibility & Initial Test Result:
You have to install and enable BowRapidV3 and PO3's Papyrus Extender to make this work. Compatible with everything on Nexus till now.
Through a quick test for about 5 minutes' constant bow shooting,I don't see the stacks anymore.
