OBSE undefned variable array

[SonOfCronus]

I keep getting the error:

Unknown variable npc[0] for parameter variable

Script outline

array_var npcs
....
MessageBoxEX "Select NPC|%n|%n|%n|Cancel" npcs[0] npcs[1] npcs[2]
...

If I use the following

MessageBoxEX "Select NPC|%n|%n|%n|Cancel" (ref)npcs[0] (ref)npcs[1] (ref)npcs[2]

the error goes away but it does not work. I am trying to tell it the type but I do not know how.

IIf memory serves, format strings don't always accept array elements as vars.

 

Try loading the references into ref vars

ref ref0
ref ref1
ref ref2
. . .
let ref0 := npcs[0]
let ref1 := npcs[1]
let ref2 := npcs[2]
MessageBoxEX "Select NPC|%n|%n|%n|Cancel" ref0 ref1 ref2

btw, (ref)npcs[2] is not an acceptable syntax for Oblivion scripts

I changed my whole code to use arrays thinking it would be more efficient and clean and now I have to go back. :sick:

 

Thanks
