[LE] Filling Quest Alias With Horse Player Is Riding?

[Cheyron]

So I am trying to fill a quest alias with the horse that the player is riding. I have a script added to my player's reference alias to look for when i am mounted and at that point to stop and start a quest that fills my reference alias for my horse. So I am telling it to match conditions in the loaded area and i am checking closest. The condition is to check if HasKeyword == ActorTypeHorse and it seems to work if I do it when I am not on a horse but on foot, then it finds the horse near me but if i choose to stop and start the quest once i am mounted... the reference does not get filled... anyone have any ideas?? I am able to find the horse via script by getting the player's parent cell and checking for object's that are npcs (type 43) and then i check the keyword and i can easily find the horse i am riding... i may just stick with looping the references in the parent cell but any idea how to setup a quest to fill a reference alias with the horse the player is riding??

Fails:

Actor Function FindHorse()

    FindMountQuest.Stop()

    While FindMountQuest.IsRunning()

        Utility.Wait(0.1)

    EndWhile

    FindMountQuest.Start()

    Utility.Wait(0.1)

    Return MountRef.GetActorReference() ;//ALWAYS EMPTY AND I CALL THIS CODE WHILE THE PLAYER IS MOUNTED ON A HORSE

    ;//IN CREATION KIT QUEST ALIAS CONDITIONS I AM SIMPLY CHECKING FOR HasKeyword == ActorTypeHorse… I AM MATCHING CLOSEST IN LOADED AREA

EndFunction

Works:

Actor Function FindHorsey()

    Cell c = PlayerRef.GetParentCell()

    ObjectReference closestHorse = None

    Float closestDistance = 9999.0

    Int i = c.GetNumRefs(43)

    While i

        i -= 1

        ObjectReference h = c.GetNthRef(i, 43)

        If h && h.HasKeyword(ActorTypeHorse)

            float dist = PlayerRef.GetDistance(h)

            If dist < closestDistance

                closestHorse = h

                closestDistance = dist

            EndIf

        EndIf

    EndWhile

    If closestHorse

        Debug.Notification("Horse Found, Distance = " + closestDistance)

        Return closestHorse as Actor

    EndIf

    Return None

EndFunction

"get last ridden horse" or something like that, I cant be bother going to wikki but that what you need, it will return the horse that player is currently riding.

I had nothing to do

I like your Method/Function :) but the above should simplify things for you. I am encouraging you keep coding, try using this page on the wikki to search for codes that set or returns things

oh ok, yeah that makes sense... I saw that when i was looking for functions to use but it didn't click in my head to use that... i was looking for something like... GetCreaturePlayerIsRiding... etc... i was just thinking of the wrong stuff when i was looking for functions to use. And you better believe I will keep coding! :laugh: And I am on that wiki site all the time looking stuff up, just that function eldued my radar scanners! Must be this old soviet junk im working with. No matter I have heros like you to come to my rescue. thank you kind sir! I will give that a test sometime but for now because i am already using the horsey function and it works pretty well, I will just stick with looping references in the current cell. Thanks again!
