Checking if Actor is enabled \ disabled

[kxdace]

Hello!

 

I am testing a spell that when it executes it gets all the Actors in a cell then sorts then based on different criteria.

 

I start a new game using alternate start and while in the Sleeping Giant Inn I run the spell and it gets all three actors Tester(The PC), Orgnar and Delfine.

 

I go outside and it gets 7 people to include the dog, chickens and surprisingly a white run guard?! I dont see no guard so I assume it must be a disabled actor that activates when you complete that quest where you talk to the Yarl at Whiterun.

 

How do I check to see of a Actor is disabled or enabled. I've been able to filter by things like gender, race and formlist but I cant get the disable \ enabled code to function properly

 

I've included the entire code below but this is the specific section I m having trouble with:

 

Please help

 

 

===Section===

        actorRandomWL = playerCell.GetNthRef(npcCountInitial, 43) AS Actor
 
        ObjectReference npcEnabledStatus = actorRandomWL AS ObjectReference

       
        if(npcEnabledStatus.getLinkedRef().isDisabled())

 

            debug.MessageBox("The actor " + actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName() + " is disabled")

 

       endIf

   

 

 

 

 

 

===Entire Code===

    Actor property actorRandom Auto
    Actor property actorRandomWL Auto
    String property stringFinalText Auto

    Cell playerCell = Game.GetPlayer().GetParentCell()

    int npcCountInitial = playerCell.GetNumRefs(43)
    debug.MessageBox("There are currently: " + npcCountInitial + " actors in this cell")

    int randomNPCnumber = Utility.RandomInt (0, npcCountInitial)
    ObjectReference[] objectRefListA = new ObjectReference[20]
    
    while(npcCountInitial)

        npcCountInitial -= 1
        actorRandomWL = playerCell.GetNthRef(npcCountInitial, 43) AS Actor
        ;debug.MessageBox("The actor in this cell list at postion " + npcCountInitial + " is " + actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName())

        int npcSexInt = actorRandomWL.GetActorBase().getSex(); 0 is male 1 is female
        
        race npcRace = actorRandomWL.GetActorBase().getRace()
        ObjectReference npcEnabledStatus = actorRandomWL AS ObjectReference

        

        if(npcEnabledStatus.getLinkedRef().isDisabled())

            debug.MessageBox("The actor " + actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName() + " is disabled")

        endIf

        if (npcSexInt == 1)

            debug.MessageBox("The actor " + actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName() + " is a " + npcRace +" female")
            

            ;if (npcRace == NordRace)

                ;debug.MessageBox("The actor " + actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName() + " is a Nord")
                ;Tested and works but probably better to use formlist

            ;endIf

        
            int formSizeInt = RacesHuman.getSize()

                debug.MessageBox("Form size is " + z)

            while formSizeInt >= 0

                formSizeInt -= 1
                
                race tempRace = RacesHuman.GetAt(z) AS RACE

                ;debug.MessageBox("Compare: " + tempRace)

                if (npcRace == tempRace)

                    debug.MessageBox("The actor " + actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName() + " is a valid target")

                endIf
    
                
            endWhile

 

        endIf

        objectRefListA[npcCountInitial] = playerCell.GetNthRef(npcCountInitial, 43)
        utility.wait(1)
        ;If I dont put wait the code executes List Item 2 Tester, List Item 0 Delphine, List Item 1 Orgnar for some strange reason
        ;This test was done with three people in the sleeping giant inn those three listed above

        ;stringFinalText += " Array Slot: " + npcCountInitial +" "+ actorRandomWL.getleveledActorBase().getName()

        

    

    endWhile

    actorRandom = objectRefListA[randomNPCnumber] AS Actor
    debug.MessageBox("The chosen NPC is " + actorRandom.getleveledActorBase().getName())
    ;debug.MessageBox("The actors are as follows: " + stringFinalText)
    

EndEvent

Well I can see how this wouldn't work in case of a non-unique actor, as their ActorBase can have a lot of linked references, both disabled and enabled.

 

I think I heard people using cloak spell effects for stuff like that and that that was bad for performance.

 

And that's about all I have on the matter.

So it looks like the following change did the trick:

        if(npcEnabledStatus.getLinkedRef().isDisabled())

 

Changed to

 

        if(npcEnabledStatus..isDisabled())

 

Thanks for the advice!
