Papyrus Script Help

[Halstrom]

I suck at arrays.
I've checked the array is this:

[0, [[Actor < (00000014)>], [RentRoomScript < (00002EFF)>]], "Staged LeitoStanding Doggy 2", ["Held1", "Sub1", "PencilToEither"]]
 

But this script  keeps returning my "EmptyArray" Message, Actors and Position are reading fine so I'm screwing up the reading process using String[] in someway?

; *** Unpack the rActors which are in akArgs[1] and populate the new array "rActors" with them
	Actor[] rActors = Utility.VarToVarArray(akArgs[1]) as Actor[]
	Actor rActor0 = rActors[0]
	Actor rActor1 = rActors[1]
	Actor rActor2 = rActors[2]
	Actor rActor3 = rActors[3]
	Actor rActor4 = rActors[4]

; *** The Position playing:
		String sPosition = akArgs[2] as String

; *** Unpack the tags which are in akArgs[3] and populate the new array "sTags" with them
		String[] sTags = Utility.VarToVarArray(akArgs[3]) as String[]
		If (sTags)
			Int iArrayLength = sTags.Length
			Int j 
			While (j < iArrayLength)
				String sTag = sTags[j]
				fnCheckAnimationTag(sTag)
				j += 1
			EndWhile
			fSexHappening = 1
			Float fSexPenetrationPerc = (fPenOral + fPenVaginal + fPenAnal) / 100 * fPenSize
			gSexPenetrationPerc.SetValue(fSexPenetrationPerc)
			StartTimer(fFrequencyTimer, iTimerID)
		Else
			fnDebug("Start:EmptyTagArray: " + sPosition + "/" + sTags)
		EndIf

EDIT: I'm a dork.  Try using VarArrayToVar instead.  Then you can cast it as String sTags = Utility.VarArrayToVar(akArgs[3]) as string

Hmm so do this:

        String[] ssTags = Utility.VarArrayToVar (akArgs[3]) as String[]
        String sTags = Utility.VarArrayToVar(ssTags[3]) as String

I'm not at all familiar with these functions, but looking at what the F4SE dev had to say on Reddit:

 

 

It looks like the functions were included to translate from Var[ ] as Var and Var as Var[ ].  In his example call, he doesn't use the functions to strip from the Var array and cast.  He just directly casts.  So, in your code, you should be using:

 

String sTag = akArg[3] as String

 

That should be sufficient.  I know in my vore scripting, I've done similar to pass actors, ints, etc.  CKWiki seems to support that you can cast into string as well.

Cast to String

Compiler auto-cast from: Anything

Anything can be cast to strings. The result that you get depends on the type of object that you are casting from, according to the following table:

Expression type	Resulting string
Bool	"True" or "False" depending on the value
Int	The string version of the integer
Float	The string version of the float
Objects	A string representing the object in the format: "[ScriptName <EditorID (FormID)>]"
Arrays	A list of elements in the array separated by commas, formatted as above, and possibly truncated with a "..." if too long for the internal string buffer.
Structs	A list of the values in the struct separated by commas, and possibly truncated with a "..." if too long for the internal string buffer.
Var

Whatever the contents of the var would cast to

I bolded the Var as string line.
