Form ID

An object's Form ID is a hexidecimal number used to refer to the object from within Oblivion. Within the CS (for scripts and such), an object's Editor ID can be used to refer to it, but you must use the Form ID for console commands.

Finding the Form ID

By default, the Form ID column is hidden in the CS. The Form ID column is located to the right of the Editor ID column. Refer to Image 1.

The double column line means that a column is collapsed there. Click and drag on the column heading to expand the column. The expanded column is shown in Image 2.

In this case, the Form ID for GiantSwordOfPwn is "02000CE8".

The Form Id can then be used in console commands as such:

player.addItem 01000ce8, 1
