Papyrus - any ways to find objects of category or class?

[prog1322]

Hello everyone! Sorry if such question was asked many times before.

Are there any ways to get references of all existing objects of a certain type/class/category, such as doors, containers, etc?

FindAllReferencesOfType is asking for a specific form or a list, but just shoving all existing doors into a formlist seems impractical, plus it would not include doors added by mods.

I've seen some scripts do "kTarget is (Door)", so the game knows when the ObjectReference is a certain class, so maybe there is a way to feed it to FindAllReferences function as a form?

Or the formlist is the only possible way?

I'm not sure but I think "kTarget is (Door)" may refer to:

Form BaseForm = SomeObjectReference.GetBaseObject()
If BaseForm as Book
	Debug.Notification("SomeObjectReference is a Book.")
EndIf

 

FindAllReferencesOfType() doesn't take FormType as parameter. If using a Papyrus script is not mandatory, you can create a Quest instead: add a Quest Alias with Fill Type Find Matching Reference then add "Run on: Subject GetIsObjectType "BOOK" == 1".

 

If script extender dependency isn't an issue, FindAllReferencesWithFormType() is available in Garden of Eden SE.

ObjectReference[] Function FindAllReferencesWithFormType(String[] asFormTypes, ObjectReference akOrigoRef, float afAerialDistance = 10000.0) native global

Thank you for the suggestion, I haven't looked into quest aliases yet, didn't know it could search for objects by type.

Basically what I need is to somehow make some types of objects in the game emit sound and I'm not sure if it's even possible.
