Unknnnnn Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 If I type help "Lydia" in the console it just gives me A2C8E - vanilla reference. Same goes for all other npcs All my npcs have modded reference ids. I have no idea what does this but it basically makes help "Npc" command useless as it gives me "Object reference invalid" when I use it. Any other way to look up Lydia's refid, apart from actually clicking on her? May be there is some other command other than help "Npc"? Or if any of you know what mod caused this? Can you please tell me? I would I appreciate that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 A mod did not cause it. This is standard behavior. When you type help to retrieve an object you are retrieving the base object rather than the currently loaded object reference. To get the actual object reference you need to click on the object in the game window while the console is open. Clicking on it tells the game, okay they want to use that specific reference.

myztikrice Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) However if you're trying to get the ID for an object you can't find and thus can't click on the console, there is the mod Skyrim Search Plugin (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50435) that will analyze all your mods and add the functionality you were looking for in its searchnpc command.

Oh right. Funny! I just got confused because I could use "Help X" to spawn items, I guess its different for specific npcs.

Thanks, myzti. So it will help me search existing npcs in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
