Getting an ObjectReference type

[Firehawk777]

This is a pretty noob type question.

How exactly is the best way to define from an Objectreference what its 'type' is? E.G if this is a miscObject, Funiture or an NPC.

You would use the 'Is' Papyrus keyword, like so:

if (YourObjReference Is MiscObject)
   ; your code here.
endif

Thanks. Though I get an error when trying this method. It says the type miscobject is incompatible for the referenceObject to throw

I modified the code up above, it should work. At least, I've used the keyword that way in my own mods with success.

 

Edit:

Here is some code direct from my FO4 Radio Mod:

 

    if (akSenderRef Is Actor && ((akSenderRef As Actor).GetDialogueTarget() == PlayerRef || (akSenderRef As Actor).IsTalking() == true || akSenderRef.IsInDialogueWithPlayer() == true))
        return
    endif

I would try :

If YourObjReference.GetBaseObject() As MiscObject
   ; your code here.
endif

Good catch. That's what I get for trying to write code from memory late at night.

Yes thanks. That works nicely.
