How To Find Editor ID of a Form?

[KicklerOfButts]

Is there any way to find a form's editor ID with papyrus?

For example, if I have a copy of the first Fur Armor variant available and I need to check what it Editor ID it has.

Fur Armor variant 1 has the Editor ID "ArmorBanditCuirass" and variant 2 has the Editor ID "ArmorBanditCuirass1", so being able to check the Editor ID would let me differentiate the two when searching through a list that contains both without having to compare them as entire "forms."

(Because otherwise every entry in the list would have to be an entire armor form, which takes much more processing power to go through than simply comparing strings.)

 

Alternatively, is there a way to retrieve an armoraddon's name?

The name of an armor's armoraddon could also be used to compare to a list of armoraddon names, if only it could be retrieved through code first.

If you're asking "why not just compare armoraddons directly?" then the answer is the same as above. It would take much more effort for the engine to compare armoraddons to each other than to just compare 2 strings, not to mention the size of the list itself would be much larger for having to store dozens upon dozens of armoraddons rather than just short strings.

 

Any help or advice would be appreciated! ^^
