How to get a NPC's reference ID

[irswat]

I'm trying to use killactor but am getting the must be a persistent reference error when trying to compile.

the script is a ref walking script that uses getfirstref, and getnextref, and stores the NPC into rCurrentNPC.

 

is there a way I can procedurally 'name' the NPC so that I can call killactor on that ref?

Reference IDs are what you get when ref walking. Make sure you use KillActor correctly.

 

Please attach your script or relevant segments.

I was using KillActor wrong. I didnt realize I had to pass the killers ref as well and so I was getting the persistent ref warning, and it wouldn't compile. It is working now.

Is there a command to make somebody explode? Killactor doesn't seem to do being stepped on by a giant mech justice.
