npc ids

[willwhitt56]

does anyone out there know how to find the id of npcs ingame, cause im wanting to spawn an enemy from a mod and I don't know how find there id.

UESP lists most of them.

 

Wrye Bash lets you export all ids from any esp or esm (right click and select "export -> editor ids") then open the outputed file in Excel or other spreadsheet editor. or right click and select get info, though that won't show the name just the form id & editor id.

_{I was actually hoping to find it in the console commands.}

open console click anything

[gregathit]

That is a reference id versus a form id.  The two are different and the reference id may or may not be enough to do what you need.  Oblivion is a MUCH older game than Skyrim and does not have a console lookup feature.  To find the form id you need to use the Construction Set or other third party tools as folks are telling you.

o_o' im an idiot

[willwhitt56]

ok one last thing, once I have the id, what command do I type in?

Depends if you are trying to summon them to you or you to them (if they are already in the game world).

All vanilla console commands for oblivion are here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Console

trying to summon them to me, which command is that.

"PlaceAtMe <BaseID>".

[willwhitt56]

just placeatme, not player.placeatme? also, when you click on them, is that there base id or ref id. if its ref then what is the code for that

[Guest ThatOne]

When you click them it's the reference ID. You need to use the CS or some other external program to get the form (base) ID.

 

Click your target and use placeatme, and it should place it next to it. You can use it with an ID before (a form ID).

 

<Reference ID>.PlaceAtMe <Form ID>

 

Why don't you just check the link Gregathit supplied you with to see a list of the various console commands, with examples of their functions? It's far faster than waiting for a reply.
