KillerHell Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I read that NVSE can help you find an object's ID (so you can use the "additem" function") inside the game without using GECK. Thing is, how? I can't see it on the documentation. But hold on, first of all, is this true? If so, I would like to know what the command is and how to use it.
blove Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 If you have the item - you can drop it on the ground, open the console, left-click to select the item so that the instance formid appears in the top center of the screen, and then enter GBO in the console to get the base object formid. NVSE does not have a search/help feature like Skyrim.

Thanks, I knew it was the "GBO" function but I was rather confused, apparently it was to put the FormID first and then finally add ".gbo" at the end.
bluepheonix Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Thanks for posting this answer- still comes up first on a Google for this question. Wanted to chime in for players who aren't technical types, the dot thing is a common way in programming languages to take an action/ run a function/ get info on something. So the command FormID.gbo is, in English, "execute gbo command on this FormID" or "get the GBO of this FormID". Hopefully this helps the structure of other commands make sense and makes things easier to figure out for others.
