In order to run a mod that requires FOSE, you need to start Fallout 3 via the FOSE loader (just run the loader executable). This enables scripts that use FOSE functions to run.

 

In order to make or edit scripts that use FOSE functions in the GECK, you'll need to start it via the FOSE loader too. The easiest way to do this is to create a shortcut to the loader and put add " -editor" to the end, like this:

"C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\fose_loader.exe" -editor

Most FOSE functions work just like any other function. For example, the one that you've mentioned returns the minimum range (as a float) of a weapon that is passed to the function either by calling the function on a reference to the weapon or by passing the weapon's base object to the function as a parameter (that's what's meant by "Calling Convention: E", which is explained in the FOSE documentation)

fairly certain most of that is covered in the FOSE documentation that comes with it, or on the front page of the Fose site... beyond that it afaik is found in the stickied FAQ threads at the top of this forum?> o.o
