Things you wish you'd known when starting out

Do use a string prefix for all your objects so you can filter them ("aaa" if you want). But as rickerhk said, don't use numbers.

 

Uh oh. I figured with NPCs starting with 188, it wouldn't be a prob. What happens?

 

 

Just change your begining number 188 to One88

You'll be fine.

You will get syntax errors for certain types of scripts. If the NPC has a script, and the script has a variable, you may try to set it like:

 

set 188Actor.scriptvariable to 1

 

I am pretty sure that will give a syntax error. Rename it to like aaaActor and everything will be fine. It isn't too hard to do, for a small number of objects.
