Revision as of 12:44, 27 December 2008
Possible bug
Set iItemBaseIndex to GetSourceModIndex refItem ; Returns expected value Set iItemBaseIndex to refItem.GetSourceModIndex ; Returns -1
Note that the first line will return the correct value. The second line will return -1.
It could be either a bug in OBSE v16 or me misunderstanding the function. Hopefully will spare you some debugging time. --Irwiss 04:58, 27 December 2008 (EST)
- Use this if refItem contains an object ID:
Set iItemBaseIndex to GetSourceModIndex refItem
- and use this if refItem contains a reference ID:
Set iItemBaseIndex to refItem.GetSourceModIndex
- If one of those doesn't work you should post it in the OBSE thread.
