NiExtraDataGetNumber

This is a command from NifSE.

Syntax

(number:value) NiExtraDataGetNumber short:nifID short:blockID
(number:value) NiEDGetNum short:nifID short:blockID

If the block indicated by blockID is of a NiExtraData-derived class with a numerical data type, returns the block's value. Because blockID defaults to 0, which is usually the NIF's root, a NiNode, blockID must almost always be specified when using this function.

Returns 0 if the function fails for whatever reason. Be aware that 0 is also an acceptable return value for many of these blocks, however.

Numerical NiExtraData Types

The following NiExtraData-derived blocks have numerical data of the type indicated.

• NiBooleanExtraData - bool
• NiFloatExtraData - float
• NiNiIntegerExtraData - short
  • BSXFlags - short, containing a bit field:

    Bit 0 = enable animation
    Bit 1 = enable collision
    Bit 2 = is skeleton nif?
    Bit 3 = unknown; set to 1 on Signs
    Bit 4 = FlameNodes present
    Bit 5 = EditorMarkers present
