In scripting, the best way to refer to an object is to use the EditorID. FormIDs aren't good for compatibility because if more than one mod is present, it's ModIndex will change according to the load order. This will cause scripts to no longer work, or work incorrectly. This is a common script rookie mistake. | |||
