Get Base Form ID from FF record

[Swe-DivX]

Hello!

Can't find a way to get ID from FF forms. They have a random ID after which they are spawned in the game. If you change your mod list, the ID changes so it doesn't even remain in your Save
 

ObjectReference ref = Game.GetCurrentCrosshairRef()
if ref
   if ref.GetVoiceType() != none
      ActorRef = ref as Actor
   endif
endif
ActorBase ActorRefBase = ActorRef.GetLeveledActorBase()
int ID = ActorRefBase.GetFormID()
string MODID = Math.LogicalAnd(ID, 0xffffff) as string

But this will return the spawned ID. Not the Form ID

The only mod I can find that does this right is https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19250?tab=description
But can't see any way this can be exploited.

Just out of curiosity, does GetActorBase return anything different in this case?

 

Edit: Also your variable naming is a bit off. You get the mod id from shifting the form id right by 24 bits. What you're doing in your code above is basically removing the mod id, the opposite of what your variable name suggests.

It works! Thanks!
