Dragoon Wraith TALK 22:27, 15 August 2006 (EDT): About your request for SetRefEssential for OBSE: Couldn't you use CreateFullActorCopy and SetEssential to create an essential version of an actor which is referenced repeatedly?

My problem was to make an Actor Copy essential. But setessential acts like a return function when it is used with a reference variable. (That caused my mod to create a new actor every frame...) I also added an entry to SetEssential, but marked it as minor edit (I thought a line is a minor edited, now I know it isn't).

Dragoon Wraith TALK 10:17, 16 August 2006 (EDT): Twas a good edit, don't worry. Anyway, it being a return statement isn't a problem, you know. I'd do something like this:

if ( GetDisabled == 0 )
  set copy to CreateFullActorCopy
  copy.SetEssential
  Disable  ;disable the original
endif

If you'd like, you could post your code and I'll see what's up with it.

For now, though, I'm going to take SetRefEssential off the Wish List.

Tibixe 10:29, 16 August 2006 (EDT) Not that it also act like a return statement, it acts exactly like it and does nothing else than stops the script for the current frame.

Reference.SetEssential really works? I must try it... I am going to make a scroll with your code, test it on an NPC, and see what happens... I bet it will duplicate forever (if it compiles)
