GetOwningFactionRequiredRank

A command for Oblivion Script Extender

Syntax:

(rank:short) ref.GetOwningFactionRequiredRank

Returns the rank in the owning faction required to legally activate the calling reference.

Example

ref rOwner
short fRank
...
set rOwner to SomeRef.GetOwner
if ((GetObjectType rOwner) == 6)
  set fRank to (GetOwningFactionRequiredRank)

This returns the Faction Rank to fRank, if the owner of the item is a faction.

Notes

• The ownership of an item can also be determined by the cell owner. If the cell has a set Owner NPC, all items in the cell are owned by the NPC. In that case, this function may return 0, but GetParentCellOwner will return the true owner. In code

ref rOwner
short fRank
...
set rOwner to SomeRef.GetOwner
if (rOwner == 0)
  set rOwner to SomeRef.GetParentCellOwner
  if ((GetObjectType rOwner) == 6)
    set fRank to SomeRef.GetParentCellOwningFactionRequiredRank
  endif
elseif ((GetObjectType rOwner) == 6)
  set fRank to SomeRef.GetOwningFactionRequiredRank
endif
if rOwner
...

• If you want to know if an actor owns an item or can legally activate it, use IsOffLimits instead.
