== Update: Terminology Discussion == | |||
This article needs to be updated to reflect the changes decided in the Terminology Discussion. First of all, it should be moved to Record Variables, and then the difference and reasons should be explained. I will probably do this myself, but I cannot at this moment, so I'm just leaving a note.<br /> | |||

== Technical Workings of Ref Variables? == | |||
How are reference variables stored internally. I'm having issues reliably accessing my reference variables when there get to be more than 16 user created ones in a cell. I get correct behaviour sometimes but not all the time. I can provide an ESP and simple instructions to replicate the problem. It is possible it is my code however which is why I would like to try and eliminate as many issues as possible, since you certainly don't have time to be debugging my scripts. | How are reference variables stored internally.

CAVEAT: Objects created by leveled lists do not process in low, if you set a reference variable from a leveled list, if your script tries to refer to that reference variable when that actor isn't loaded, bad things will happen. So don't ever do a "set myRefVariable to myXmarker.placeAtMe myLeveledList". Instead create an if-then section in a script which checks the player level, pick an appropriate base object for the players level, then do a "set myRefVariable to myXmarker.placeAtMe SpecificBaseObjectID".--[[User:Jduvall|Jduvall]] | CAVEAT: Objects created by leveled lists do not process in low, if you set a reference variable from a leveled list, if your script tries to refer to that reference variable when that actor isn't loaded, bad things will happen.
