Is there a way to duplicate actor within script?

[buzanen]

I'm trying to modify an existing mod. The mod has a function in its script that takes actors as an input parameter. I'm wondering if I can modify the script to create a duplicate of that actor in game (for example, if the actor is a bandit (001068FE), I should be able to create a duplicate with console command player.placeatme 001068FE 1; but I'm not sure if that could be done in script). Thanks!

 

ps, the function looks like "function attack(Actor actorRef)"

PlaceAtMe is a viable papyrus function. However, you may need to use PlaceActorAtMe in some situations.

PlaceActorAtMe works perfectly, thank you!
