## Function Calling Conventions:

### By Reference or ObjectID

reference.FunctionName someParameters objectID:ref

#### Examples:

    	(health:long) reference.GetObjectHealth objectID:ref
    	(oldEnchantment:ref) reference.SetEnchantment nuEnchantment:ref objectID:ref

These functions can either be called on a reference or have an objectID passed in as an argument. The optional reference is there for the scripter's convenience. If the function is called on a reference, the objectID will be retrieved from the reference. If an objectID is passed in, it takes precedence over a calling reference.

The following are equivalent:

    	ref.doSomething

and

    	base = ref.getBaseObject
    	doSomething base

These functions always perform their operations on the base object.

### By Reference Only

reference.FunctionName someParameters

#### Examples:

    	(oldPoison:ref) reference.SetEquippedWeaponPoison nuPoison:ref

These functions must be called on a reference.

### By ObjectID Only

FunctionName someParamters objectID:ref

#### Examples:

    	(masterLevel:short) GetSpellMasteryLevel spell:ref	(effectCode:long) GetNthEffectItemCode magicItem:ref  whichEffect:long

These functions must have an ObjectID passed as an argument.

`(soulLevel:short) reference.GetActorSoulLevel actor:ref`

HasLowLevelProcessing - returns 1 if the actor has low level processing enabled
`(hasLowProc:bool) reference.HasLowLevelProcessing actor:ref`

HasNoPersuasion - returns 1 if the No Persuasion flag is set on the actor
`(hasNoPers:bool) reference.HasNoPersuasion actor:ref`

SetNoPersuasion - changes the No Persuasion flag on the actor
`(nothing) reference.SetNoPersuasion flag:short actor:ref`

IsActorRespawning - returns 1 if the Respawn flag is set on the actor
`(respawns:bool) reference.IsActorRespawning actor:ref`

IsPCLevelOffset - returns 1 if the actor's level is calculated relative to the player's level
`(isLevOffset:bool) reference.IsPCLevelOffset actor:ref`

IsSummonable - returns 1 if the Summonable flag is set on the actor
`(isSummonable:bool) reference.IsSummonable actor:ref`

SetSummonable - changes the Summonable flag on the actor
`(nothing) reference.SetSummonable flag:short actor:ref`

SetActorRespawns - changes the Respawn flag on the actor
`(nothing) reference.SetActorRespawns flag:short actor:ref`

SetFemale - changes the Female flag on the actor. Changes are saved but may not be immediately visible.
`(nothing) reference.SetFemale flag:short actor:ref`

SetLowLevelProcessing - turns low level processing on or off for the actor. Note that this sets the No Low Level Processing flag to the opposite of the passed value.
`(nothing) reference.SetLowLevelProcessing flag:short actor:ref`

SetPCLevelOffset - changes the PC Level Offset flag on the actor, and optionally specifies the minimum andmaximum levels. If minLevel or maxLevel is omitted or passed as -1, the existing value will be retained. Note that changes to the min/max levels are not saved in the savegame.
`(nothing) reference.SetPCLevelOffset flag:short minLevel:short maxLevel:short actor:ref`

GetNumPackages - returns the number of AI packages in the actor's package list
`(numPackages:short) reference.GetNumPackages actor:ref`

GetNthPackage - returns the Nth AI package in the NPC's package list, in the order in which they were added in the editor.
`(package:ref) reference.GetNthPackage actor:ref`

GetSpellEffectiveness - returns the actor's spell effectiveness based on the armor he or she has equipped as a floating point value from 0 to 1.0. The return value is always 1.0 for creatures and NPCs other than the player. When calledon the player, this command returns the player's base spell effectiveness as calculated by the game plus any script modifier applied by ModPCSpellEffectiveness.
`(spellEffectiveness:float) reference.GetSpellEffectiveness`

CanCastPower - returns false if the calling actor has already used the specified greater power within the last 24 hours. This command does not check for the presence of the greater power in the actor's spellbook.
`(CanCast:bool) ref.CanCastPower spell:ref`

SetCanCastPower - indicates whether the calling actor can cast the specified greater power. Passing 1 allows the actor to cast the power even if he has already used it within the past 24 hours. Passing 0 disallows the actor from casting the spell for the next 24 hours, unless the actor has already cast the power, in which case the power will become usable as normal 24 hours after the last casting.
`(nothing) ref.SetCanCastPower spell:ref allowCasting:bool`

SetPowerTimer - sets the amount of time that must pass until the calling actor can cast the specified power. The time is a float representing the number of real-time seconds until the power becomes usable. When an actor uses a power, the game calculates the 24-hour timer as 3600 / TimeScale 24 where TimeScale is a global variable representing the number of game-time minutes which elapse per real-tme minute. The timer value passed to this function should similarly take TimeScale into account. Passing a value of zero or less will cause the power to become usable the very next frame.
`(nothing) ref.SetPowerTimer spell:ref timer:float`

GetUsedPowers - returns an Array containing information about all greater powers which the calling actor has used. This includes powers cast by the actor within the last 24 hours as well as any powers flagged as used by SetCanCastPower and SetPowerTimer. The return value is an Array of StringMaps:
GetUsedPowers[n]["power"] := ref ; the greater power
GetUsedPowers[n]["timer"] := float ; number of real-time seconds until the power becomes usable again
`(powers:Array) ref.GetUsedPowers`

HasSpell - returns whether the actor has the specified spell
`(hasSpell:bool) reference.HasSpell spell:ref`

RemoveBaseSpell - the game's RemoveSpell removes a spell from a base actor but must be called on a reference. This command does the same thing as RemoveSpell but takes a base object as an argument, returning 1 if the spell was removed.
`(bRemoved:bool) RemoveBaseSpell actor:ref`

GetLeveledSpells - returns an Array containing all of the leveled spells in the base actor's spell list.
`(spells:Array) reference.GetLeveledSpells actorBase:ref`

GetActorPackages - returns an Array containing the AI packages defined in the base actor's package list, in the order in which they are listed in the editor.
`(packages:Array) reference.GetActorPackages actorBase:ref`

GetCurrentPackage - returns the actor ref's currently executing package
`(package:ref) reference.GetCurrentPackage`

GetCurrentEditorPackage - returns the actor ref's executing non-dynamic package
`(package:ref) reference.GetCurrentEditorPackage`

EquipItem2 - duplicates the behavior of the vanilla `EquipItem` command, but also causes the object's `OnEquip` script block to run if one exists
`(nothing) ref.EquipItem2 item:ref lockEquip:bool`

EquipItem2NS - behaves identically to `EquipItem2`, but suppresses the UI message generated by that command
`(nothing) ref.EquipItem2NS item:ref lockEquip:bool`

GetSpecialAnims - returns an Array containing the filenames of any special animations for the actor. Animations for creatures, and those in the SpecialAnims folder for NPCs, can be toggled on and off in the actor's animation list in the editor.
`(anims:Array) reference.GetSpecialAnims actorBase:ref`

ToggleSpecialAnim - adds or removes an animation from the base actor's animation list. For creatures, the animations must appear in the creature's model folder; for NPCs they must be located in the Special Anims folder. Changes made using this command have no effect on the animations of reference's to the base actor which are currently in middle-high or high process.
`(bSucceeded:bool) reference.ToggleSpecialAnim animFileName:string toggleOn:bool actorBase:ref`

### Actor Value Functions

Actor values are determined by several factors including the attributes defined for the base actor, several dynamic modifiers, and the effects of game settings. For a detailed description of how actor values are calculated see the wiki entry. OBSE provides commands to retrieve and modify the modifiers applied to an actor value, retrieve the actor value as defined for a base actor, and retrieve the maximum value of an actor value.

GetAVMod - returns one of the calling actor's modifiers for the specified actor value. The modifier is specified as a string: "script" refers to the script (or "offset") modifier applied by the script versions of ModAV and ForceAV; "max" refers to the modifier applied by magic effects like feather, drain, and fortify; and "damage" refers to that applied by effects like damage and restore, and by the console version of ModAV/ForceAV as well as ModAV2.
`(modifierValue:float) ref.GetAVMod actorValueName:string whichModifier:string`
`(modifierValue:float) ref.GetAVModC actorValueCode:short whichModifier:string`

SetAVMod - sets the value of one of the calling actor's modifiers for the specified actor value. The modifier is specified as a string: "script" refers to the script (or "offset") modifier applied by the script versions of ModAV and ForceAV; "max" refers to the modifier applied by magic effects like feather, drain, and fortify; and "damage" refers to that applied by effects like damage and restore, and by the console version of ModAV/ForceAV as well as ModAV2. To encourage compatibility between mods, prefer using ModAVMod over SetAVMod.
`(nothing) ref.SetAVMod actorValueName:string whichModifier:string amount:float`
`(nothing) ref.SetAVModC actorValueCode:short whichModifier:string amount:float`

ModAVMod - modifies the value of one of the calling actor's modifiers for the specified actor value by the specified amount. The modifier is specified as a string: "script" refers to the script (or "offset") modifier applied by the script versions of ModAV and ForceAV; "max" refers to the modifier applied by magic effects like feather, drain, and fortify; and "damage" refers to that applied by effects like damage and restore, and by the console version of ModAV/ForceAV as well as ModAV2.
`(nothing) ref.ModAVMod actorValueName:string whichModifier:string amount:float`
`(nothing) ref.ModAVModC actorValueCode:short whichModifier:string amount:float`

GetMaxAV - returns the maximum possible value of the specified actor value for the calling actor.
`(maxValue:float) ref.GetMaxAV actorValueName:string`
`(maxValue:float) ref.GetMaxAVC actorValueCode:short`

GetAVForBaseActor - returns the value of the specified actor value as defined for the base actor. If the second argument is omitted, the base object for the calling actor is used. Note that not all actor values are defined for base actors, in which case this command returns 0.
`(value:short) ref.GetAVForBaseActor actorValueName:string actorBase:ref`
`(value:short) ref.GetAVForBaseActorC actorValueCode:short actorBase:ref`

GetActorValueC - returns the actor value specified by the actor value code
`(actorValue:long) reference.GetActorValueC actorValueCode:short`
`(actorValue:long) reference.GetAVC actorValueCode:short`

ModActorValueC - modifies the actor value without changing the base value. Acts like a spell: a negative number reduces the value which can be restored and a positive value restores values without exceeding the maximum of the stat.
`(nothing) reference.ModActorValueC actorValueCode:short value:long`
`(nothing) reference.ModAVC actorValueCode:short value:long`

SetActorValueC - sets the actor value specified by the actor value code
`(nothing) reference.SetActorValueC actorValueCode:short value:long`
`(nothing) reference.SetAVC actorValueCode:short value:long`

ModActorValue2 - modifies the current value without changing the base value. Acts like a spell: a negative number reduces the value which can be restored and a positive value restores values without exceeding the maximum of the stat.
`(nothing) reference.ModActorValue2 actorValueName:string value:long`
`(nothing) reference.ModAV2 actorValueName:string value:long`

GetBaseItems - returns an Array of StringMaps containing the items present in a base container or actor inventory and the quantity of each. These are the items added to the base object in the editor and may include leveled items. Some, all, or none of the items may be present in the inventory of a specific reference to the base object. Each element of the returned Array is a StringMap with two elements:
"item" : ref ; the item
"count" : short ; the quantity of this item

SetIsFood - sets whether the object is considered to be food
`(nothing) reference.IsFood isFood:bool objectID:ref`

### Enchantable

Types with this quality may be enchanted. A couple notes: Enchantments and the ranges of their effects need to be appropriate for the enchantable object's type. The Enchantment Type needs to match the object the enchantment applies to. Also, when adding an enchantment to an object, be sure that the object has a charge, or the enchantment cannot work. If the object was not previously enchanted, call SetObjectCharge to assign a charge to the object.

#### Values:

Enchantment (ref) - the specific enchantment on the enchantable item

Base Attribute (short) - each sex of a race has base values for all eight attributes
Bonus Skill (bool) - each race has seven attributes which get a bonus
Reactions (long) - reaction values towards other races
Scale (float) - the relative scale factor of the males and females of the race

#### Functions:

GetRaceAttribute - returns the specified base attribute value. If passed a raceFormID you must also pass whether you want the female value or not. If called directly on a reference the function will determine the race and sex of the reference and the raceFormID and isFemale are not needed. The C version of the function takes a number rather than the actorvalue name (ie. 0 instead of Strength).
`(value:short) reference.GetRaceAttribute attributeActorValue:chars raceFormID:ref isFemale:bool`
`(value:short) reference.GetRaceAttributeC attributeActorValueCode:short raceFormID:ref isFemale:bool`

GetRaceSkillBonus - returns the bonus for the specified skill for the race. If called on a reference the function will determine the race of the reference. Returns 0 if there is no bonus for that skill. The C version specifies the specific skill by number rather than by name.
`(value:short) reference.GetRaceSkillBonus skillActorValue:chars raceFormID:ref`
`(value:short) reference.GetRaceSkillBonusC skillActorValueCode:short raceFormID:ref`

IsRaceBonusSkill - returns whether the specified skill is a bonus for the race. If called on a reference the function will determine the race of the reference. The C version specifies the skill by number rather than by name.
`(isBonusSkill:bool) reference.IsRaceBonusSkill skillActorValue:chars raceFormID:ref`
`(isBonusSkill:bool) reference.IsRaceBonusSkillC skillActorValueCode:short raceFormID:ref`

GetNthRaceBonusSkill - returns the actor value code for the specified index into the bonus skills. Can be followed up with a call to GetRaceSkillBonusC to determine the actual bonus to the skill. If called on a reference the function will determine the race of the reference.
`(skill:short) reference.GetNthRaceBonusSkill whichSkill:short raceFormID:ref`

GetRaceSpellCount - returns the number of spells provided by the race. If no race is specified, the race of the calling NPC is used.
`(numSpells:short) reference.GetRaceSpellCount race:ref`

GetNthRaceSpell - returns the nth spell provided by the race, using the race of the calling NPC if none is specified.
`(spell:ref) reference.GetNthRaceSpell whichSpell:short race:ref`

SetRaceAlias - creates an alias for a race. If a race has an alias, then calling `GetIsRace aliasRace` will return true for any actor of that race. For example, `SetRaceAlias Nord Argonian` will cause GetIsRace to recognize Nords as Argonians. However, Argonians will not be recognized as Nords.
`(nothing) SetRaceAlias actualRace:ref aliasRace:ref`

SetRaceVoice - changes the voice of a race to the specified race. Specify 0 for male, 1 for female, or 2 for both genders.
`(nothing) SetRaceVoice actualRace:ref voiceRace:ref whichGender:short`

SetRacePlayable - flags a race as playable or unplayable. Unplayable races cannot speak most of the dialog defined in the game.
`(nothing) SetRacePlayable race:ref isPlayable:bool`

IsRacePlayable - returns 1 if the specified race is flagged as playable in the editor.
`(isPlayable:bool) IsRacePlayable race:ref`

GetRaceReaction - returns the race reaction between the target NPC/Race and the calling NPC reference or passed race. The target and from races are declared as NPCs, but you can also place a Race name into a ref variable and pass those in.
`(reaction:long) reference.GetRaceReaction targetNPC:ref fromNPC:ref`

GetRaceScale - returns the default scale of the male or female members of the specified race.
`(scale:float) GetRaceScale race:ref forFemale:bool`

GetRaceWeight - returns the default weight for male or female members of the specified race as defined in the editor.
`(weight:float) GetRaceWeight race:ref forFemale:bool`

### Scriptable

Types with this quality can have a script associated with them.

#### Functions:

IsScripted - returns whether the scriptable object has a script attached to it or not.
`(isScripted:bool) reference.IsScripted targetObjectID:ref`

GetScript - returns the refID of the script attached to the object
`(script:refID) reference.GetScript targetObjectID:ref`

RemoveScript - removes and returns the script attached to the object. The object is no longer scripted
`(script:refID) reference.RemoveScript targetObjectID:ref`

SetScript - sets the specified script onto the calling object and returns any previous script. Note that Oblivion doesn't have a script variable type so you must assign the script to a ref variable for this to work. NOTE: If the specified object already has a script attached to it, after changing the script the stored values of local variables for references to that object will not match the variables in the new script. If called on a reference, the variable list for the calling reference will be updated to match the new script, but other references to the same base object will not be updated. Summary: SetScript is safe to use with quests, with previously unscripted objects, and on unique references (for which no other references exist to the same base object). Using the command on base objects for which non-unique references exist may result in undefined behavior.
`(script:refID) reference.SetScript scriptID:ref targetObjectID:ref`

IsFormValid - returns 1 if the specified ref variable contains a valid object or reference.
`(valid:bool) IsFormValid refVar:var`

IsReference - returns 1 if the specified ref variable contains a reference, as opposed to a base object.

GetVariable - returns the value of a numeric variable by name, either from the calling reference's script or the specified quest.
`(variableValue:float) reference.GetVariable varName:string questID:ref`

GetRefVariable - returns the reference stored in a ref variable by name, either from the calling reference's script or the specified quest.
`(reference:ref) reference.GetRefVariable varName:string questID:ref`

GetArrayVariable (GetArrayVar) - returns the value of an array variable by name, either from the calling reference's script or the specified quest.
`(array) reference.GetArrayVariable varName:string questID:ref`

CompareScripts - compares the compiled code of two scripts and returns 1 if they are identical. Note that this doesn't mean the text of the scripts are identical, only that they call the same functions in the same order with the same parameters.
`(scriptsAreIdentical:bool) CompareScripts script:ref script:ref`

ResetAllVariables - sets all variables in the calling script to zero.
`(numVars:short) ResetAllVariables`

GetNumExplicitRefs - returns the number of explicit references in the calling object's script or in the passed script object. Explicit references are any objects mentioned by name in the script; for instance, if a script contains an "OnHit Player" block or a "Player.AddItem" command, its explicit references will include the player.
`(numRefs:short) reference.GetNumExplicitRefs script:ref`

GetNthExplicitRef - returns the nth explicit ref in the calling object's script or the passed script object. See GetNumExplicitRefs are a description of explicit references.

GetCombatSpells - for an actor in combat, returns an Array of all the spells in the actor's spellbook, including spells resolved from leveled spells lists (which are resolved into actual spells when the actor enters combat). The actor will use a subset of these spells during combat; use GetSelectedSpells to determine which of these spells have been selected for use.
`(spells:Array) reference.GetCombatSpells`

### AI Package

A set of information defining actor behavior. Commands which modify AI packages operate on the base package and may have no effect or unpredictable effects on actor references currently executing that package.

SetPackageTarget - sets the target of the specified package. Target can be of several types, leading to several syntaxes for this command. The first listed usage sets the target to a specific reference. The second sets it to a particular base object with a specified quantity; when the package executes the actor will look for references to that base object to use as the target(s). The third usage sets the target to a code representing the type(s) of objects to be used as targets, along with a quantity. This command does not change the targets of actor references currently executing the package unless they re-evaluate their package after the change has been made.

There are two types of cells: interior and exterior. Exterior cells exist as parts of worldspaces and often inherit the name of their parent worldspace. Interior cells are isolated from other parts of the world and have their own names. When the player visits and then exits an interior cell, the game records the number of total hours elapsed in the game at the moment the player exits; this value is the cell's "detach time." The next time he visits that cell, if the difference between the current number of game hours passed and the detach time is greater than the game setting iHoursToRespawnCell, the cell will be reset.

### Leveled List

A list of creatures, NPCs, items, or spells. Changes made to lists using OBSE functions are not saved in the savegame, but persist for the duration of the game session after they are made. To make effectively "permanent" changes to a leveled list, include code similar to the following in a quest script:

    if ( GetGameRestarted ) ; runs once each time Oblivion is started	AddToLeveledList list object level	RemoveFromLeveledList list objectendif

#### Functions:

AddToLeveledList - adds an object to a leveled creature, spell, or item list. Count defaults to 1 if unspecified.

RemoveFromLeveledList - removes all occurences of an object from a leveled list and returns the number of occurences removed.
`(numRemoved:short) RemoveFromLeveledList leveledList:ref object:ref`

CalcLeveledItem - returns one item from a leveled item list, selected randomly for a character of the specified level. Oblivion selects a level range from which to choose using the game setting iLevItemLevelDifferenceMax. The item chosen is within the range [minLevel...maxLevel], where maxLevel is the level in the list closest to but not exceeding the character's level, and minLevel = maxLevel - levelDiff. If the "Calculate for all item <= level" flag is set for the leveled list, minLevel is always zero. This function checks the "Chance None" property of the leveled list, so it may return nothing based on that chance; pass 0 for the third parameter to override this behavior. In the case of leveled lists containing nested leveled lists, the function recurses through each list until it finds a non-leveled item. Omit the levelDiff parameter to use the current value of iLevItemLevelDifferenceMax.
`(randomItem:ref) CalcLeveledItem leveledList:ref level:short useChanceNone:bool levelDiff:short`

CalcLevItemNR - does the same thing as CalcLeveledItem but will not recurse through nested leveled lists. This means that unlike CalcLeveledItem, CalcLevItemNR can return another leveled list rather than a real object.
`(randomItem:ref CalcLevItemNR leveledList:ref level:short useChanceNone:bool levelDiff:short`

CalcLevItems - returns an Array of StringMaps representing items selected randomly from a leveled item list. This command uses the game code to select items, which means the items returned are the same as those the game would select for an actor of the specified level. Does not work with leveled spells or creatures. Each entry in the returned Array is a StringMap with the key-value pairs: "item":item (form) and "count":count (integer). The optional "count" parameter is 1 by default.
`(items:Array) CalcLevItems levItemList:ref level:short count:short`

GetCalcAllLevels - returns 1 if the "calculate for all levels <= PC level" flag is checked.
`(calcAllLevels:bool) GetCalcAllLevels leveledList:ref`

GetCalcEachInCount - returns 1 if the "calculate for each item in count" flag is checked.
`(calcEach:bool) GetCalcEachInCount leveledList:ref`

GetChanceNone - returns the chance from 0 to 100 that a leveled list returns no item.
`(chanceNone:short) GetChanceNone leveledList:ref`

`(nothing) ClearLeveledList leveledList:ref`

RemoveNthLevItem - removes the nth item from a leveled list.
`(nothing) RemoveNthLevItem index:short leveledList:ref`

GetLevItemIndexByLevel - returns the index of the first item of the specified level within a leveled list, or -1 if no item exists for that level.
`(index:short) GetLevItemIndexByLevel level:short leveledList:ref`

GetLevItemIndexByForm - returns the index of the first occurrence of the specified form in a leveled list, or -1 if the form is not found.
`(index:short) GetLevItemIndexByForm leveledList:ref formToFind:ref`

SetChanceNone - sets the chance that a leveled list generates no item.
`(nothing) SetChanceNone chance:short levlist:ref`

### Additional Magic Effect Functions

These functions can be used to retrieve or modify the properties of magic effect settings as defined in the Magic Effects window of the editor. Because they all follow similar syntax conventions and are largely self-explanatory, most are not documented individually. Versions of the commands ending in 'C' take a numeric magic effect code rather than a Magic Effect form as the argument to indicate the effect. All of these functions have abbreviated alternate names in which "MagicEffect" is replaced by "ME", i.e. GetMagicEffectName can also be written as GetMEName.

#### String functions:

`(hasWater:bool) reference.ParentCellHasWater`
`(hasWater:bool) reference.HasWater`

GetParentCellWaterHeight - returns the water height of the references parent cell
`(waterHeight:float) reference.GetParentCellWaterHeight`
`(waterHeight:float) reference.GetWaterHeight`

IsActivatable - returns 1 if the calling reference can be activated under normal circumstances

`(isUnderWater:bool) reference.IsUnderWater`

GetNumChildRefs - returns the number of reference for which the calling reference behaves as an enable-state parent
`(numChildren:short) reference.GetNumChildRefs`

GetNthChildRef - returns the nth child reference associated with the calling reference. Child references are stored in no particular order.
`(childRef:ref) reference.GetNthChildRef whichChild:short`

GetNumFollowers - returns the number of actors currently following the calling actor. Summoned creatures are excluded.
`(numFollowers:short) reference.GetNumFollowers`

GetNthFollower - returns a reference to the nth actor currently following the calling actor. Does not include summoned creatures.

GetFollowers - returns an array containing all actors currently following the calling actor, including summoned creatures
`(followers:array) reference.GetFollowers`

IsPersistent - returns 1 if the calling reference is a persistent reference
`(isPersistent:bool) reference.IsPersistent`

SetScaleEX - sets the scale of the calling reference. Unlike SetScale, the scale is not limited to a certain range. The reference should be disabled and then enabled after calling this function in order to update its scale and collision properties. The new scale is saved in the savegame.
`(nothing) reference.SetScaleEX scale:float`

HasBeenPickedUp - returns true if the calling reference is currently inactive due to having been picked up by an actor or otherwise transferred to an inventory
`(pickedUp:bool) reference.HasBeenPickedUp`
`(pickedUp:bool) reference.IsTaken`

SetHasBeenPickedUp - toggles the flag that marks a reference as having been picked up by an actor. When called on a reference which was previously picked up, causes the reference to "respawn". The reference must be disabled and then enabled for the change to become visible.
`(nothing) reference.SetHasBeenPickedUp pickedUp:bool`
`(nothing) reference.SetTaken pickedUp:bool`

GetRefCount - returns the number of items in a stack of items in the world
`(refCount:short) reference.GetRefCount`

SetRefCount - sets the number of items in a stack of items in the world. Note that while this function will change the count of any type of reference, it may have unpredictable results when used on references like NPCs which are not logically stackable.
`(nothing) reference.SetRefCount newCount:short`

SetBaseForm - changes the base object associated with a reference, with the limitation that the new base form must be of the same type as the old one (i.e. you can swap a weapon reference's base form only with another weapon). Does not work on actors or on items in containers. The reference must be disabled and then enabled in order for the change to be visible. This function is considered beta.
`(nothing) reference.SetBaseForm newBaseForm:ref`

Activate2 - like the existing Activate command, causes a reference to be activated. The only difference is that this command circumvents the limit on recursive scripted activations of an object, allowing unlimited repeated processing of the target's OnActivate script block. Use with care as performance may degrade if a large number of calls to this command occur within a single frame.
`(nothing) reference.Activate2 activator:ref runOnActivate:bool`

IsRefDeleted - returns 1 if the passed object reference has been marked as deleted by a mod or the game. Deleted references should not be used in scripts. Note that the reference is passed as a parameter - this function should not be called on a potentially deleted reference directly.
`(isDeleted:bool) IsRefDeleted reference:ref`

DeleteReference - attempts to delete the calling object from the game and returns true if successful. In order for a reference to be deleted, it must:

- - be disabled
- - not be an actor
- - not be contained in an inventory
- - be dynamic (i.e. generated via PlaceAtMe or dropped from an inventory, having a mod index of 0xFF)

The primary aim of this function is to combat the savegame bloat resulting from generation of large numbers of dynamic references. In most cases, it is better to avoid creating such bloat in the first place. (Note: IsRefDeleted is not related to this command in any way).
`(wasRefDeleted:bool) reference.DeleteReference`

GetBoundingBox - returns a stringmap representing the calling objects axis-aligned bounding box. This command only works for mobile objects (projectiles and actors). The stringmap returned contains two stringmaps: "center" has keys "x", "y", and "z" representing the coordinates of the center of the bounding box, and "extent" has the same keys representing the extent of the box along each axis. For example, the height of the box is equal to GetBoundingBox->extent->z * 2. Similarly the bottom of the box is equal to GetBoundingBox->center->z - GetBoundingBox->extent->z
`(StringMap) reference.GetBoundingBox`

Update3D - updates the visual representation of the calling actor or object reference. This can be called immediately after commands like SetModelPath and SetEyes to make the changes visible. This command does not currently work correctly on the player
`(nothing) reference.Update3D`

If a reference is passed in, then the search is restricted to that reference, returning the number of times it is playing that sound. Some sounds are not associated with objects, so if you pass in a "fuzzy check radius" parameter, it returns the number of times the sound is playing within the specified radius around the reference.
`(playingCount:long) reference.GetSoundPlaying soundName:string fuzzyCheckRadius:float`

RunScriptLine - runs a line of script as if it were called from the console. If bRunOnRef is 1, the line of script will be executed on the calling object, if any.

The first time the player creates apotion of a given magnitude and effects, that potion will be returned by GetLastUniqueCreatedPotion. Subsequently, creating a potion of the same effects and magnitude will not create a unique potion and so the potion will not be returned by this command.
`(potion:ref) GetLastUniqueCreatedPotion`

IsConsoleOpen - returns 1 if the console is currently open
`(open:bool) IsConsoleOpen`

LoadGameEx - attempts to load the saved game with the specified name

`(editorID:string) GetEditorID object:ref`

GetFormIDString - returns the formID of the specified object as a hexadecimal string. If the object cannot be found in memory (for example, a non-persistent reference), returns "00000000"
`(formID:string) reference.GetFormIDString object:ref`

GetRawFormIDString (GetFormIDString2) - returns the formID stored in an array element or ref variable as a hexadecimal string. Unlike GetFormIDString, this command does not care if the formID is valid.
`(formID:string) GetRawFormIDString object:ref`

GetUserTime - returns a StringMap containing information about the time and date on the player's system
`(userTime:StringMap) GetUserTime`

The returned StringMap has the following key/value pairs, all of which are integers:

GetGridsToLoad - returns the effective value of the uGridsToLoad ini setting. This value is specified in Oblivion.ini but adjusted by the game during play.
`(gridsToLoad:short) GetGridsToLoad`

SetOLMPGrids - specifies the number of grids that a call to OutputLocalMapPicturesOverride should use when generating local map pictures. The value passed in must be smaller than the effective value of the uGridsToLoad ini setting, which can be obtained with GetGridsToLoad. All subsequent calls to OutputLocalMapPicturesOverride will use the new value.
`(valueSet:bool) SetOLMPGrids grids:short`

OutputLocalMapPicturesOverride - this command is identical to the console command OutputLocalMapPictures, except it uses the number of grids specified by the last call to SetOLMPGrids when generating the maps.
`(nothing) OutputLocalMapPicturesOverride`
`(nothing) OLMPOR`

GetWorldSpaceParentWorldSpace - returns a worldspace's parent worldspace
`(worldspace:ref) GetWorldSpaceParentWorldSpace worldspace:ref`
`(worldspace:ref) GetWorldParentWorld worldspace:ref`

QuestExists - returns 1 if a quest exists with the specified editorID

GetCellChanged -returns 1 if the player has entered a new cell since the last time the command was called from the calling script, including transitioning from one exterior cell to another.
`(cellChanged:bool) GetCellChanged`

## Cloning Functions

The cloning functions are special. They are declared as taking Inventory Objects so any inventory object can be passed as a raw name from the CS. However you can clone any form by first assigning it to a ref and then passing that ref to CloneForm.

CloneForm - creates and returns a new base object that is an exact copy of the passed objectID
`(clonedForm:ref) CloneForm objectID:ref`

Examples:

    	ref clonedInventoryItem
    	ref clonedSpell
    	ref originalSpell
    	set clonedInventoryItem to CloneForm WeapSteelShortsword
    	set originalSpell to StandardCalmTouch1Novice
    	set clonedSpell to CloneForm originalSpell

IsClonedForm - returns whether the passed objectID is a cloned form or not. A cloned form is saved as part of the save game. Instances of cloned forms are player created potions, spells and enchanted items
`(isCloned:bool) IsClonedForm objectID:ref`

## Flow Control Functions

OBSE supports several types of commands for altering the flow of execution within a script. The simplest are `Label` and `Goto`, which allow unconditional jumps from one location in a script to a previous location. `While` loops cause execution to remain within the loop until the specified expression becomes false. `ForEach` loops iterate over the elements of an array or string.

`ForEach` and `While` loops both define structured blocks in the same way that `if` and `endif` or `begin` and `end` do. Every `While` or `ForEach` in a script must be matched by exactly one `Loop` command.

Examples of good and bad loops:

    	while (expr)
    		do stuff
    	loop		; good

    	while (expr)
    	if (something)
    		loop  ; BAD, Loop must be on same level of indentation as While
    	endif

`Break` and `Continue` statements are only valid within a loop body. `Goto` should never be used within a loop body to jump to a label defined outside of the loop's body.

Label - save the location of the command following the `SaveIP` command
`(nothing) SaveIP slot:long`
`(nothing) Label slot:long`

Goto - jump to a previously saved location
`(nothing) RestoreIP slot:long`
`(nothing) Goto slot:long`

While - evaluates an OBSE expression. If the expression is true, the statements following it will be executed until the next `Loop` command, at which point control returns to the top of the loop and the expression is evaluated again.
`(nothing) While expression`

ForEach - `ForEach` is used to iterate over the elements of an array, the characters in a string, or references to objects in a container. The syntax `ForEach item <- collection` is used to indicate the variable ("`item`") which will hold the current element and the string, array, or container reference ("`collection`") from which elements will be drawn. On loop entry, `item` is set to the first element in `collection`. When the next `Loop` command is encountered, `item` is set to the next element in `collection` and execution returns to the top of the loop. The loop terminates when all elements have been returned. The type of `item` varies based on the type of `collection`.

For arrays, `item` is an array_var, specifically a StringMap. The loop will initialize `item` with two elements: "key", which holds the key of the current element, and "value", which holds the value associated with that key. Within a `ForEach` loop you can access both fields via `item["key"]` and `item["value"]`. Once the loop terminates, `item` is reset to an uninitialized array.
`(nothing) ForEach iterator:array_var <- sourceArray:array`

For strings, `item` is a string_var. The loop initializes `item` to the first character in the string; on each successive iteration `item` contains the next character in the string.
`(nothing) ForEach iterator:string_var <- sourceString:string`

For containers, `item` is a ref variable. See the section on Inventory References for details on the usage.
`(nothing) ForEach iterator:ref_var <- sourceContainer:ref`

Loop - Returns execution to the most recent `While` or `ForEach` command. The loop condition is evaluated and if it passes, execution continues inside the body of the loop. Otherwise, execution returns to the instruction immediately following the `Loop` command.
`(nothing) Loop`

Break - Must be called inside of a `ForEach` or `While` loop. `Break` causes the loop to exit immediately, forcing execution to jump to the instruction immediately following the next `Loop` command.
`(nothing) Break`

Continue - Must be called inside of a `ForEach` or `While` loop. `Continue` skips the rest of the body of a loop, returning execution to the top of the loop and evaluating the loop condition. If the condition passes, execution enters the loop body, otherwise the loop terminates and continues from the instruction following the corresponding `Loop` command.
`(nothing) Continue`

## Ref Walking Functions

GetFirstRef - returns the first reference in the current cell. A type can optionally be supplied to return only references matching that type. Additionally, you can pass 69 for actors and 70 for inventory items. This function should be used only within a `Label...Goto` loop and `GetNextRef`. An optional cell depth can be supplied to specify the number of adjacent cells to scan in exteriors: a cell depth of 1 scans the player's current cell plus 8 adjacent cells, a depth of 2 scans the player's cell plus 25 adjacent cells. By default, inactive references to items which were previously picked up by an actor are ignored; passing 1 for the third parameter will force those references to be included.
`(reference:ref) GetFirstRef type:short cellDepth:short includeInactiveRefs:short`

GetNextRef - returns the next reference in the curent cell. `GetFirstRef` must be called first; this function uses the cell depth and type passed to `GetFirstRef` and returns the next reference matching that type, or zero after the last reference has been returned. This function should only be used within a `Label...Goto` loop.
`(reference:ref) GetNextRef`

GetNumRefs - returns the number of references in the current cell which match the optionally supplied type code. Use 69 for actors and 70 for inventory items. An optional cell depth can be specified for exteriors. By default, inactive references to items which were previously picked up by an actor are ignored; passing 1 for the third parameter will force those references to be included.
`(numRefs:short) GetNumRefs type:short cellDepth:short includeInactiveRefs:short`

GetFirstRefInCell - Works the same as `GetFirstRef` but takes an additional parameter specifying the cell to scan. Note that if the specified is not loaded in memory, this function will only return persistent references. Use `GetNextRef` to iterate through the rest of the references in the cell.
`(reference:ref) GetFirstRefInCell cell:ref type:short cellDepth:short includeInactiveRefs:short`

GetNumRefsInCell - Works the same as `GetNumRefs` but takes an additional parameter specifying the cell to scan. Only counts persistent references if the cell is not loaded in memory.
`(numRefs:short) GetNumRefsInCell cell:ref type:short cellDepth:short includeInactiveRefs:short`

Example of ref looping (transfers all carriable items in the cell to the player's inventory):

    	ref nextItem
    	begin onActivate
    	set nextItem to GetFirstRef 70 ; get first carriable item
    	Label 10
    	if ( nextItem ) ; continue until all refs are processed
    	nextItem.activate player ; give the item to the player
    	set nextItem to getNextRef
    	Goto 10
    	endif
    	end

## Console Functions

Some of the console commands have been exposed as scripting commands. In many cases, their functionality is not completely documented, and as they were not designed to be used via scripts, strange behavior may occur when using them. The primary thing to expect is changes not being saved in the player's savedata file.

SquareRoot - returns the square root of the argument
`(sqrt:float) squareroot arg:float`
`(sqrt:float) sqrt arg:float`

Fmod - returns the floating point modulus of dividend in the given base. This differs from `dividend % base` in the scripting language as `%` is a strictly integer function. When base is positive, `0 <= result < base`. The optional offset shifts the range of the result to `offset <= result < base+offset`.

The two most likely uses of this function are `modulus angle 360` to normalize a computed angle, i.e., ensure it is `>= 0` and `< 360.0` and `modulus angle 360 -180` which ensures the computed [change of] angle is `>= -180.0` and `< 180.0`.

`modulus n base` is defined as `n - base Floor n / base`. If the base is negative the direction of the inequality changes. Thus: `0 >= result > base` and `offset >= result > base+offset`.

Syntax:
`(fmod:float) fmod dividend:float base:float offset:float`

## Linear Algebra Functions

These functions treat Arrays as vectors and matrices, performing standard linear algebra operations on them.

Internally, matrices are two-dimensional arrays, where the elements of the outer array each arrays holding the rows. Therefore, `A[i][j]` refers to the jth element of the ith row, in keeping with common mathematical convention.

To be a matrix, the array must be one or two dimensional, contain only numerical values, and in the case of two-dimensional arrays, every row in the array must have the same length. These functions will always fail if an input does not meet these criteria.

Some functions require that the matrix be sqaure, which means that its height and width are equal.

Other functions further require that the matrix be a vector, that is, either be a one-dimensional array, or a two-dimensional array where there is either only one sub-array (a row vector), or every sub-array has only one element (a column vector).

One-dimensional arrays may be used as vectors, but these functions will not assume that they are either row or column vectors. In most cases, this is not important, but in some it is. For example, with `MatrixMultiply`, the value changes based on which of the vectors is a column vector and which is a row vector (see the function description for more information). In such ambiguous cases, the functions will not work; use `ForceRowVector` or `ForceColumnVector` to resolve such ambiguities. If a function does not indicate such a situation, one-dimensional arrays will work for a vector just fine.

These functions returns 0 if they fail for whatever reason (incompatible matrix dimensions is the most common reason). In some cases (e.g. `MatrixDeterminant`), 0 is also a valid return value, so it is the scripter's responsibility to ensure that the matrix is acceptable for the function.

GenerateZeroMatrix - Returns an n×m matrix with each element filled with a 0.
`(zeroMat:array) GenerateZeroMatrix height:short width:short`
`(zeroMat:array) ZeroMat height:short width:short`

GenerateIdentityMatrix - Returns a square (n×n) matrix with each element along the diagonal (from top-left to bottom-right) filled with a 1, and every other element with 0.
`(idenMat:array) GenerateIdentityMatrix height:short`
`(idenMat:array) IdentityMat height:short`

GenerateRotationMatrix - Returns a 3×3 square matrix that can serve as a rotation matrix about the specified axis. Rotation matrices are always invertible, and their inverse is equal to their transpose.
`(rotationMat:array) GenerateRotationMatrix axis:axis angle:float`
`(rotationMat:array) RotMat axis:axis angle:float`

VectorMagnitude - Returns the magnitude of a vector (square-root of the sum of the squares of its elements).
`(magnitude:float) VectorMagnitude vector:array`
`(magnitude:float) VecMag vector:array`

VectorNormalize - Returns the normalized version of a vector (each entry of the vector divided by its magnitude). A normalized vector has a magnitude of 1.
`(norm:array) VectorNormalize vector:array`
`(norm:array) VecNorm vector:array`

VectorDot - Returns the dot (scalar) product of two vectors. The vectors must have the same length.
Warning: If this function fails (generally because the vectors do not have the same length), it will return zero. However, zero is also a valid value for a dot product, so it is the scripter's responsibility to ensure that the vectors have the same length.
`(dotProduct:float) VectorDot vector:array vector:array`
`(dotProduct:float) dot vector:array vector:array`

VectorCross - Returns the cross (vector) product of two vectors. The vectors must have the same length.
`(crossProduct:array) VectorCross vector:array vector:array`
`(crossProduct:array) cross vector:array vector:array`

ForceRowVector - Takes a one-dimensional array, and returns an equivalent two-dimensional array, where the outer array's only element is the 1d array; i.e. `A[0][j] == v[j]`. This forces various linear algebra functions to treat the vector as a row vector, and can be necessary when using `MatrixMultiply`.
Note that row vectors require only 2 array variables, as opposed to the n+1 (where n is the number of elements) array variables needed for column vectors; for this reason, row vectors are generally preferred.
`(rowVector:array) ForceRowVector vector1d:array`
`(rowVector:array) RowVec vector1d:array`

ForceColumnVector - Takes a one-dimensional array, and returns an equivalent two-dimensional array, where the outer array's elements are each arrays with only one element - each element in the 1d array. I.e., `A[i][0] == v[i]`. This forces various linear algebra functions to treat the vector as a column vector, and can be necessary when using `MatrixMultiply`.
Note that row vectors require only 2 array variables, as opposed to the n+1 (where n is the number of elements) array variables needed for column vectors; for this reason, row vectors are generally preferred.
`(colVector:array) ForceColumnVector vector1d:array`
`(colVector:array) ColVec vector1d:array`

MatrixTrace - Returns the trace of a square matrix, that is the sum of the elements along the diagonal (from top-left to bottom-right).
Warning: If the matrix is not square, the return value will be zero, but zero is also a possible value for an actual trace; it is the scripter's responsibility to ensure that the matrix is square.
`(trace:float) MatrixTrace squareMatrix:array`
`(trace:float) tr squareMatrix:array`

MatrixDeterminant - Returns the determinant of a square matrix.
Warning: If the matrix is not square, the return value will be zero, but zero is also a possible value for an actual determinant; it is the scripter's responsibility to ensure that the matrix is square.
`(determinant:float) MatrixDeterminant squareMatrix:array`
`(determinant:float) det squareMatrix:array`

MatrixRREF - Returns the reduced row echelon form (RREF) of a matrix.
`(rref:array) MatrixRREF matrix:array`
`(rref:array) RREF matrix:array`

MatrixInvert - Returns the inverse matrix of a given matrix. Returns 0 if the matrix is not invertible.
`(inverse:array) MatrixInvert matrix:array`

`(transpose:array) MatrixTranspose matrix:array`
`(transpose:array) Transpose matrix:array`

MatrixScale - Returns a matrix scaled by a number, that is, with every element multiplied by that number.
`(scaledMatrix:array) MatrixScale matrix:array scalar:float`
`(scaledMatrix:array) MatScale matrix:array scalar:float`

MatrixAdd - Returns the sum of two matrices, that is, a matrix where each element is the sum of the elements in the corresponding position in each of the addends. The two matrices must have the same dimensions.
`(sum:array) MatrixAdd addend:array addend:array`
`(sum:array) MatAdd addend:array addend:array`

MatrixSubtract - Returns the difference of two matrices, that is, a matrix where each element is the difference between the elements in the corresponding position in the terms. The two matrices must have the same dimensions.
`(difference:array) MatrixSubtract minuend:array subtrahend:array`
`(difference:array) MatSubtract minuend:array subtrahend:array`

MatrixMultiply - Returns the product of two matrices using matrix multiplication. Matrix multiplication is not commutative, that is, order matters and `AB != BA`. In order to multiply two matrices, the width of the first factor must equal the height of the second.
Two one-dimensional arrays (as opposed to two-dimensional vectors) cannot be multiplied because a column vector multiplied by a row vector has a different result than if a row vector is multiplied by a column vector, even if all the values are the same. Therefore, at least one of the vectors must be represented as a two-dimensional array (usually using `ForceRowVector`) to remove this ambiguity (they do not both need to be two-dimensional as a column vector cannot be multiplied with another column vector, nor a row vector with another row vector, so there is no ambiguity).
`(product:array) MatrixMultiply factor:array factor:array`
`(product:array) MatMult factor:array factor:array`

## Output Functions

Output functions are used to display messages. Some take a string containing format specifiers and an optional list of up to 20 variables which may include reference variables. Format specifiers include all of those used by the `Message` and `MessageBox` functions, as well as additional specifiers.

PrintToConsole - prints a formatted message to the console using the extended format specifiers
`(nothing) PrintToConsole formatString:string var1 var2 ... var20`
`(nothing) PrintC formatString:string var1 var2 ... var20`

Example script using MessageBoxEX:

    	ref refVar1
    	ref refVar2
    	short keyCode
    	short goldCost
    	set refVar1 to AdrianDecanusREF
    	set refVar2 to ShadySamREF
    	set keyCode to GetControl 15 ; menu key, assuming 'Tab' (15)
    	set goldCost to 500
     	MessageBoxEX "Press %k to summon a companion %rCost: %g gold|%n|%n|Cancel" keyCode goldCost refVar1 refVar2

The script displays a messageBox in the following format:

    	Press TAB to summon a companion	                  Cost: 500 gold	               [Adrian Decanus]	                   [Shady Sam]	                     [Cancel]

SetMessageSound - sets the sound which is to be played by the next call to `MessageEX`. The sound must be defined in the Sounds branch of the Object Window. Once `MessageEX` has been called the sound is cleared.
`(nothing) SetMessageSound soundID:string`

SetMessageIcon - sets the icon which is to be displayed to the left of the text for the next call to `MessageEX`. The icon is a .dds file located in the folder "Data\Textures\Menus\" or a subfolder thereof. Once `MessageEX` has been called the icon will be cleared.
`(nothing) SetMessageIcon iconPath:string`

DebugPrint - prints a message to the console only if debug mode has been enabled for the mod from which the calling script originates. Use `SetDebugMode` to toggle debug messages on or off.
`(nothing) DebugPrint formatString:string var1 var2 ... var20`

SetDebugMode - toggles all debug messages on or off for the mod from which the calling script originates. Pass 1 as the argument to turn debug messages on, or 0 to turn them off. Optionally pass the modIndex of the mod for which you wish to toggle messages.
`(nothing) SetDebugMode EnableDebugMessages:bool modIndex:short`

Print - prints a string expression to the console. This is mainly a convenience function to eliminate the need for temporary string variables when printing complex strings using `PrintToConsole`, as it supports string concatenation, the `ToString` function, etc.
`(nothing) Print string:expr`

PrintD - as `DebugPrint`, but accepts any OBSE expression evaluating to a string
`(nothing) PrintD string:expr`

## Spam-Blocking Functions

Some existing script functions generate UI messages in the top-left corner of the screen when called on the player. The following functions duplicate the behavior of those functions while suppressing those messages. Syntax is identical to the original functions.

- AddItemNS
- RemoveItemNS
- EquipItemNS
- UnequipItemNS
- AddSpellNS
- RemoveSpellNS

## Mod Functions

These functions return information about currently loaded Oblivion plugins and manipulate mod-specific data

GetModIndex - returns the mod index of the specified plugin. This is equivalent to the first two digits of the object's formID.
`(index:short) GetModIndex modName:string`

GetSourceModIndex - returns the mod index of the plugin from which the specified object originates
`(index:short) reference.GetSourceModIndex object:ref`

GetNumLoadedPlugins - returns the number of plugins currently loaded. Used in conjunction with GetModIndex, this can be used to verify load order at run-time.
`(loadedPluginCount:short) GetNumLoadedPlugins`

IsModLoaded - returns 1 if the specified .esp or .esm is currently loaded. String is case-insensitive but must include the file extension.
`(isLoaded:bool) IsModLoaded modName:string`

GetNthModName - returns the filename of the nth loaded mod
`(name:string_var) GetNthModName modIndex:short`

## Mod Local Data Functions

In some circumstances it is useful for a mod to record information about its state independent of the savegame. For instance, a mod which uses OBSE commands to modify objects or settings may want to reset those changes when a different savegame is loaded. OBSE provides each loaded mod with the ability to define data which persists for the duration of the game session. Data is defined as key-value pairs, where the key is a string and the value is a number, object, or string. A script has access only to the data defined for the mod to which it belongs. In the example below, a quest script is used to make sure that modifications to the player's movement speed are recorded in the savegame and reset when a new savegame is loaded

    	scriptName pcSpeedQuestScript
    	short moddedAmt		; the amount by which player's movement speed has been modified (stored in the savegame as a script variable)
    	short prevModAmt
    	begin gamemode
    	if getGameLoaded				; a game has been loaded
    		if getGameRestarted == 0					; reset the player's movement speed
    			let prevModAmt := GetModLocalData "speedMod"
    			ModPCMovementSpeed -prevModAmt
    		endif

    		; record the value from the savegame
    		SetModLocalData "speedMod" moddedAmt
    	endif
    	end

A script attached to an activator in the gameworld modifies the player's movement speed by 10 each time it is activated and updates the local data

    	scriptName pcSpeedActivatorScript
    	begin OnActivate player
    		let pcSpeedQuest.moddedAmt += 10
    		SetModLocalData "speedMod" pcSpeedQuest.moddedAmt
    		ModPCMovementSpeed 10
    	end

SetModLocalData - sets the data value associated with the specified key for the mod to which the calling script belongs. The key must be a string; the data can be a string, number, or object. Keys are case-insensitive and unique - only one data value can be associated with a particular key.
`(success:bool) SetModLocalData key:string data:multi`

GetModLocalData - gets the data value associated with the specified key for the mod to which the calling script belongs. If no data exists for the key, returns 0.
`(data:multi) GetModLocalData key:string`

ModLocalDataExists - returns true if local data exists with the specified key for the mod to which the calling script belongs.
`(exists:bool) ModLocalDataExists key:string`

## Hotkey Functions

GetHotkeyItem - returns the item or spell bound to the specified hotkey (1-8)
`(itemOrSpell:ref) GetHotkeyItem whichHotkey:short`

SetHotkeyItem - sets a hotkey to the specified spell or item
`(nothing) SetHotkeyItem whichHotkey:short spellOrItem:ref`

ClearHotkey - removes any spell or item bound to the specified hotkey
`(nothing) ClearHotkey whichHotkey:short`

## File Functions

FileExists - returns 1 if the specified file exists in the user's installation folder or within one of the BSA archives. Path is relative to the user's install folder, which is "Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion" by default.
`(fileExists:bool) FileExists filePath:string`

## UI Functions

Return information about the user interface. When the term "active menu" is used, it refers to the menu over which the mouse cursor is positioned when the command is called. Some functions accept an optional parameter specifying the specific menu you are interested in, assuming that menu is currently open.

GetActiveMenuMode - returns the menu code of the active menu. These are the same codes used by the `MenuMode` function.
`(menuCode:short) GetActiveMenuMode`

GetActiveMenuSelection - returns the item in the active menu over which the mouse is currently positioned
`(activeItem:ref) GetActiveMenuSelection`

The return type varies depending on the active menu:

Magic: Highlighted spell
Container: Highlighted item
Inventory: Highlighted item
SpellPurchase: Highlighted spell

GetActiveMenuFilter - returns the code which indicates the current filteroptions for the active menu
`(filterCode:short) GetActiveMenuFilter menuType:short`

GetActiveMenuRef - returns the reference from which the active menu is derived
`(menuRef:ref) GetActiveMenuRef menuType:short`

The return type varies depending on the active menu:

SpellPurchase: Spell merchant

Dialog: Speaking NPC
Book: Book reference in the gameworld

GetActiveMenuObject - returns the base object from which the active menu is derived
`(menuObject:ref) GetActiveMenuObject menuType:short`

The return type varies based on the active menu type:

Book: Book base object
Alchemy: Potion being brewed
Message: The formID of the reference whose attached script generated the message, or the quest script which generated it. Returns 0 for game-generated messages such as confirmation boxes

GetEnchMenuSoulgem - returns the soulgem selected for enchantment in the enchantment menu. Only works if the enchantment menu is the active menu.
`(soulgem:ref) GetEnchMenuSoulgem`

GetEnchMenuEnchItem - returns the enchantment which is to be applied to the item to be enchanted. Only works if the enchantment menu is the active menu.
`(enchantment:ref) GetEnchMenuEnchItem`

IsBarterMenuActive - returns 1 if the player is bartering with a merchant, providing a way to distinguish between an ordinary container menu and a barter menu, which both return the same MenuMode code
`(isBarterMode:bool) IsBarterMenuActive`

GetAlchMenuIngredient - returns one of the four ingredients, from 0 to 3, selected for inclusion in the potion currently being brewed
`(ingredient:ref) GetAlchMenuIngredient whichIngred:short`

GetAlchMenuIngredientCount - returns the number of the specified ingredient selected for inclusion in the potion being brewed. Pass 0 for the first ingredient, 3 for the last.
`(count:short) GetAlchMenuIngredientCount whichIngred:short`

GetAlchMenuApparatus - returns the apparatus object being used in the brewing process
`(apparatus:ref) GetAlchMenuApparatus apparatusType:short`

CloseAllMenus - closes all currently open menus. Note: if the console is open at the time this function is called, it will be closed but the displayed console text will remain visible until the console is opened and closed again.
`(nothing) CloseAllMenus`

GetContainerMenuView - when the container/barter menu is open, returns 1 if the player is viewing his own inventory, or 0 if viewing the container or merchant's inventory
`(menuView:short) GetContainerMenuView`

SetButtonPressed - When any Message menu is displayed (game prompts such as the inventory quantity prompt as well as those created by the `MessageBox` function), forces the menu to behave as if the specified button was pressed. Button IDs range from 0 to 9.
`(nothing) SetButtonPressed buttonID:short`

IsGameMessageBox - returns 1 if a messagebox is currently displayed which was generated by game code (e.g., confirm item purchase) rather than a script
`(isGameMessage:bool) IsGameMessageBox`

GetMessageBoxType - returns a code indicating the origin of the currently-displayed messagebox

Return values:

- 0: No messagebox displayed or unknown origin
- 1: Generated from script
- 2: Confirm Buy Item
- 3: Confirm Sell Item
- 4: Confirm Give Item
- 5: Confirm Buy Spell
- 6: Confirm Poison Weapon
- 7: Confirm Overwrite Savegame
- 8: Confirm Load Savegame
- 9: Confirm Load Savegame with Missing Content
- 10: (RepairMenu) Attempting to repair a magic item without sufficient skill

`(type:short) GetMessageBoxType`

OBSE v0016 adds the ability to retrieve or modify the value of any trait defined in a menu's XML file. In order to use these commands you must specify the location of the desired trait within the XML hierarchy. For instance, given the following excerpt from MessageMenu.xml:

    	<menu name="MessageMenu">
    		<rect name="background">
    			<image name="button_1">
    				<visible> &true </visible>

To access the "visible" attribute of the first button, you would use "background\button_1\visible". Traits can have values of three types: float, boolean, or string. Boolean values are treated as floats, with 1 representing "false" and 2 representing "true." You must also specify the menu code of the menu you are interested in.

Examples:

    	float  floatVar
    	string_var strVar
    	; MessageMenu - is button 3 visible?
    	set floatVar to GetMenuFloatValue "background\button_3\visible" 1001
    	; MessageMenu - retrieve message text
    	set strVar to GetMenuStringValue "background\message_text\string" 1001
    	; hides the "Take All" button in the Container menu
    	SetMenuFloatValue "cont_background\page_layout\cont_contents\cont_button_take_all\visible" 1008 1
    	; sets the text of button 1 to the contents of strVar
    	SetMenuStringValue "background\button_1\button_1_text\string|%z" strVar 1001
    	; clicks the icon for the player's active spell, switching from item view to spell view if inventory is open
    	ClickMenuButton "hudmain_background\hudmain_magic_cover" 1009

GetMenuFloatValue - returns the value of a float or boolean trait of the specified menu
`(value:float) GetMenuFloatValue trait:formatString menuType:short`

GetMenuStringValue - returns the value of a string trait of the specified menu
`(value:string_var) GetMenuStringValue trait:formatString menuType:short`

SetMenuFloatValue - sets the value of a float or boolean trait of the specified menu
`(nothing) SetMenuFloatValue trait:formatString menuType:shortnewValue:float`

SetMenuStringValue - sets the value of a string trait of the specified menu. The new value follows the trait name, separated from it by a pipe character. i.e. "elementName\traitName|newValue". (If calling from the console, replace the pipe character with the '@' character).
`(nothing) GetMenuFloatValue traitAndNewValue:formatString menuType:short`

GetActiveUIComponentID - returns the integer ID of the menu elemented currently highlighted by the mouse cursor as defined by that element's <id> trait in the menu XML file.
`(id:short) GetActiveMenuComponentID`

GetActiveUIComponentName - returns the name of the menu element currently highlighted by the mouse cursor as defined in the menu XML file.
`(name:string_var) GetActiveUIComponentName`

GetActiveUIComponentFullName - like GetActiveUIComponentName, returns the name of the menu element currently highlighted by the mouse cursor, if any. However the returned name is fully qualified with the names of the element's parents in a form suitable to pass to commands like GetMenuFloatValue. i.e., if button_1 is highlighted in the MessageMenu, this command returns "background\button_1".
`(name:string_var) GetActiveUIComponentFullName`

ClickMenuButton - simulates the user clicking on the specified UI component. Pass the fully qualified component name as described above, or pass the <id> trait of the desired component as specified in the XML, preceded by a '#'; i.e. "`#32`" to click the button with ID 32. Note that specifying the name results in much better performance than specifying an ID.
`(nothing) ClickMenuButton componentName:formatString menuType:short`

GetMenuHasTrait - returns 1 if the menu has the trait specified. The trait name may be qualified with component names to access traits of subcomponents.
`(hasTrait:bool) GetMenuHasTrait traitName:formatString menuType:short`

GetTileChildren - given a UI component (referred to by the game as a "Tile"), returns an Array containing the names of all of the direct subcomponents of that component. Using this command is more efficient than accessing children individually if you need to inspect more than one subcomponent.
`(children:Array) GetTileChildren parentTile:string menuType:short`

GetTileTraits - given a UI component, returns a StringMap representing all of that component's traits and their values. The keys of the returned StringMap's elements are the names of the traits; their values are the string or numeric values of the traits. This command is more efficient for accessing multiple traits of the same component than the commands which access traits individually.
`(traits:StringMap) GetTileTraits componentName:string menuType:short`

PrintTileInfo - a debugging command which outputs all of the children of a UI component as well as the names and values of all of its traits. Output is sent to the console and to obse.log. Avoid using this function in released mods; it is intended for testing and debugging only.
`(nothing) PrintTileInfo componentName:string menuType:short`

GetMapMenuMarkerName - when the world map menu is visible and a location icon is highlighted by the mouse, this command returns the name of the highlighted icon. At all other times it returns an empty string.
`(markerName:string) GetMapMenuMarkerName`

GetMapMenuMarkerRef - when the world map menu is visible and a location icon is highlighted by the mouse, this command returns a reference to the MapMarker reference associated with the highlighted icon. This is a slow function, so avoid calling it repeatedly. If you want to detect changes in the currently highlighted map icon, it is best to check GetMapMenuMarkerName over the course of several frames, and only call GetMapMenuMarkerRef if the name changes and is not an empty string.
`(markerRef:ref) GetMapMenuMarkerRef`

GetBarterItem - returns the active item in a container menu
`(ref) GetBarterItem`

GetBarterItemQuantity - returns the selected quantity of the active item in a container menu
`() GetBarterItemQuantity`

GetLastTransactionItem - returns the item most recently bought or sold by the player
`(ref) GetLastTransactionItem`

GetLastTransactionQuantity - returns the quantity of the most recent buy/sell transaction
`() GetLastTransactionQuantity`

GetQMCurrent (GetQuantityMenuCurrentQuantity) - returns the current quantity in the quantity menu
`() GetQMCurrent`

GetQMMaximum (GetQuantityMenuMaximumQuantity) - returns the maximum quantity in the quantity menu
`() GetQMMaximum`

GetQMItem (GetQuantityMenuItem) - returns the active item in the quantity menu
`(ref) GetQMItem`

## Text Input Functions

Allow the user to enter and edit text, with limited support for HTML formatting.

Controls while entering text:

- - Left/Right arrows: move cursor left or right. Pressing in conjunction with the CTRL key moves the cursor to the beginning of the closest word.
- - Home/End: move cursor to the beginning or end of the text.
- - Backspace/Delete: delete text. Use with CTRL to delete an entire word.
- - TAB: Inserts 4 spaces.
- - Up/Down: When editing books or scrolls, move cursor to the end of the previous line or the beginning of the next line.

Additional formatting can be inserted when editing books and scrolls by pressing CTRL in combination with one of the following:

- - L, R, or C: align the current line left, right, or center respectively. Alignment affects the current line and any subsequent lines until the next alignment tag.
- - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: change the font of the text.

`<IMG>` tags are not directly supported, but can be added using `InsertInInputText`. The <, >, and ~ characters are not considered valid input characters.

Note that it is possible for the user to close the menu by clicking one of the buttons in a messagebox or the "Exit" button in a book. Calls to `UpdateTextInput` will re-display a messagebox with the user's text intact, but will not re-open a book once closed. Further, it is still necessary to call `CloseTextInput` to release the text input menu for use by other scripts.

OpenTextInput - opens a text input menu if one is not currently in use. MenuType is 0 for a messagebox, 1 for a book, or 2 for a scroll. The MaxLength parameter specifies how many characters to allow the user to enter. For messageboxes, the prompt string will be displayed before the cursor and cannot be erased. It may also contain buttons, with the button text separated from the prompt text with pipe '|' characters as in `MessageBoxEX`. For books and scrolls, the prompt string serves as the default text visible as soon as the menu is opened and may be edited by the user.
`(nothing) OpenTextInput promptString:string var1 var2 ... var20 menuType:short maxLength:short`

IsTextInputInUse - returns 1 if a script is currently using a text input menu, regardless of whether or not the menu is visible. Only one script may request text input at a time.
`(isInUse:bool) IsTextInputInUse`

GetInputText - returns the text entered by the user. You may call this function at any point before calling `CloseTextInput`. Note that the returned string includes any html formatting inserted by the user. It also includes an html prefix along the lines of `<FONT face="#"><div align="align">`.
`(inputText:string_var) GetInputText`

UpdateTextInput - tells the text input menu to check for user input and refresh the displayed text if necessary. In general, unless you want to temporarily disallow input, this command should be called every frame while the text input menu is open.
`(nothing) UpdateTextInput`

CloseTextInput - closes the text input menu, releasing it for use by other scripts. Be sure to call this command when you are done getting input.
`(nothing) CloseTextInput`

InsertInInputText - inserts formatted text at the current cursor position in the text input menu, as long as doing so would not increase the length of the text beyond its maximum length.
`(nothing) InsertInInputText formatString:string var1 var2 ... var20`

GetTextInputControlPressed - allows scripters to define custom controls for text input. Returns the scan code of the last key pressed in conjunction with the CTRL key, excluding those keys reserved for use by the text input menu. Once the code has been retrieved, subsequent calls to this command will return -1; it will also return -1 if no control has been pressed (similar to `GetButtonPressed`).
`(scanCode:short) GetTextInputControlPressed`

DeleteFromInputText - deletes a number of characters or words from the input text in the direction specified, beginning from the current cursor position. Note that an html tag is treated as both a word and a character (it is not possible to delete only part of a tag). Both optional parameters are false by default.
`(nothing) DeleteFromInputText numToDelete:short bBackwards:bool bDeleteWholeWords:bool`

GetTextInputCursorPos - returns the current position of the cursor as an index into the input string
`(cursorPos:short) GetTextInputCursorPos`

MoveTextInputCursor - moves the cursor a specified number of characters in the specified direction from its current position. Note that each html tag is treated as a single character.
`(nothing) MoveTextInputCursor numChars:short moveBackwards:bool`

Example script:

    scriptName GetUserInputSCR
    int button
    int state
    string_var userText
    begin OnEquip
    	if (IsTextInputInUse == 0)
    		OpenTextInput "Type stuff (max 20 chars) | Finished" 0 20
    		set state to 1
    	endif
    end

    begin menuMode
    	if (state)
    		set button to GetButtonPressed
    		if (button == 0) ; user has finished
    			set userText to GetInputText
    			CloseTextInput
    			set state to 0
    		else
    			UpdateTextInput
    		endif
    	endif
    end

## String Variables

OBSE v0016 introduces the string_var datatype for representing strings of characters. String variables can be declared and used like normal variables and can hold the return values from OBSE commands defined as returning a string_var. Their contents are preserved with the savegame. String-related commands include commands to modify a string variable and commands to retrieve a game string and store it in a string variable. Additionally, many existing commands like `SetName` now have EX counterparts (i.e. `SetNameEX`) which can accept a format string and a variable number of arguments, including string variables.

A string variable should not be used until it has been initialized with a value, by using it on the left hand side of a call to `sv_Construct` or a command that returns a string. An uninitialized string variable has a value of zero, which can be tested for in scripts. The value of an initialized string, on the other hand, is undefined and should never be modified directly by statements such as `set someStringVar to 6` or using arithmetic operators. Similarly, string variables should only be used to store strings, and the result of a string-returning variable should only (and always) be assigned to a string variable. Note that direct assignment of one string variable to another causes both variables to refer to the same string. For instance, in the following code:

    	string_var string1
    	string_var string2
    	set string1 to sv_Construct "First string"
    	set string2 to string1	set string1 to sv_Construct "Second string" ; modifies both string1 and string2

both string1 and string2 end up containing "Second string." If this is not desired behavior, use `sv_Construct` to copy the contents of one string to another, i.e.:

    	set string2 to sv_Construct "%z" string1 ; copies string1's contents to string2
    	set string2 to player.GetName ; modifies only string2

String variables persist in the savegame until they are explicitly destroyed or until the mod from which they originate is removed from the user's mod list. In general, string variables should be destroyed after use unless it is necessary to save their values permanently. In the following example, the string variable is used each time the scripted object is activated:

    	string_var refName
    	ref activatingRef
    	begin onActivate
    		set activatingRef to GetActionRef
    		set refName to activatingRef.GetName
    		if (sv_Count "e" refName > 0)
    			Message "Your name contains the letter e"
    		endif
    		set refName to sv_Destruct
    	end

Because the value of the string variable is only needed temporarily, `sv_Destruct` is used to prevent it from being saved.

As of OBSE v0017, string variables can be passed to any command expecting a string literal as an argument by prefacing the name of the variable with a dollar sign. This deprecates many of the Set...EX commands. Example:

    	string_var msg
    	let msg := "Greetings from Stonekeep, " + player.GetName + "!!!"
    	MessageBox $msg

Additionally in v0017, support for string operations has been integrated into the language via OBSE expressions, which leaves functions such as `sv_Construct`, `sv_Substring`, etc. mostly deprecated.

sv_Construct - [text has been deleted]
`(nothing) sv_Construct formatString:string var1 var2 ... var20 variableToSet:string_var`

sv_Destruct - destroys a string variable, setting its value to zero and preventing its contents from being saved in the savegame. Two different syntaxes are supported: the first should be used in an assignment with no parameters, using the `Set` keyword: `set stringVar to sv_Destruct`. The second is used without assignment and accepts up to ten string variables as arguments, destroying them all: `sv_Destruct var1 var2 ... var10`.
`(string_var) sv_Destruct`
`(nothing) sv_Destruct var1:string_var var2:string_var ... var10:string_var`

sv_Length - returns the number of characters in a string variable
`(length:short) sv_Length variable:string_var`

sv_Compare - compares a string to a formatted string. Performs a case-insensitive comparison by default. Returns 0 if the strings are equal, 1 if the string variable occurs alphabetically before the formatted string, -1 if the string variable occurs alphabetically after the formatted string, or -2 if the comparison fails.
`(comparison:short) sv_Compare formatString:string var1 var2 ... var20 variable:string_var caseSensitive:bool`

sv_Erase - erases the specified number of characters from a string starting at the specified position. If omitted, startPos = 0. Omitting numToErase erases all characters from `startPos` to the end of the string.
`(nothing) sv_Erase variable:string_var startPos:short numToErase:short`

sv_ToNumeric - attempts to convert the contents of a string variable to a number. Valid characters include digits, a leading sign, and an e to indicate scientific notation. Conversion halts at the first invalid character.
`(float) sv_ToNumeric sourceString:string_var`

sv_Find - returns the index of the first occurrence of a substring within a string variable, starting at the specified position and only including occurrences contained completely within the range [startPos, startPos + searchLen]. Omit the arguments to search the entire string without regard to case.
`(index:short) sv_Find subString:formatString formatVars source:string_var startPos:short searchLen:short caseSensitive:bool`

sv_Count - returns the number of occurrences of a substring within a string variable, using the same arguments as `sv_Find`.
`(count:short) sv_Count subString:formatString formatVars source:string_var startPos:short searchLen:short`

sv_Replace - replaces occurrences of a string1 with string2 within a string variable. Both the text to replace and that with which to replace it are passed in a single format string separated by a pipe character as in "toReplace|replaceWith" (when calling from the console, use '@' in place of the pipe character). You can specify a range to search and case-sensitivity as in `sv_Find`, plus an additional final argument specify how many occurrences to replace. By default, the command replaces all occurrences.
`(numReplaced:short) sv_Replace subString:formatString formatVars source:string_var startPos:short searchLen:short caseSensitive:bool numToReplace:short`

sv_Insert - inserts a substring into a string at the specified position, provided the position is less than the length of the string, or prepends it if no position is specified.
`(nothing) sv_Insert subString:formatString formatVars targetString:string_var insertPos:short`

sv_Split - given a string and a set of delimiters, returns an Array containing all the substrings separated by one or more of the delimiting characters. For example, `sv_Split "#This is.a##. string." ".# "` returns `{ "This", "is", "a", "string" }`. The '.', '#', and space characters are removed.
`(substrings:Array) sv_Split toSplit:string delimiters:string`

GetKeyName - returns the name of a key given its DirectInput scan code
`(keyName:string) GetKeyName keycode:short`

AsciiToChar - returns the character associated with an ASCII code as a string
`(character:string) AsciiToChar asciiCode:short`

NumToHex - returns a string representation of an integer in hexadecimal format. An optional width parameter ranging from 0 to 8 specifies the minimum number of digits toinclude; unused digits are padded with zeroes. By default, 8 digits are included.
`(hex:string) NumToHex num:short width:short`

sv_Percentify - Takes an input string and returns it with each '%' character replaced by two '%' characters. For instance, "100% gold" becomes "100%% gold" and "99.99%%" becomes "99.99%%%%". The argument can be any expression evaluating to a string value.
`(percentified:string) sv_Percentify source:string`

#### Character Functions

A single character is represented by an integer with a value from 0 to 127 corresponding to its ASCII code. `sv_GetChar` returnscharacters.

IsDigit - returns 1 if the character is a digit
`(isDigit:bool) IsDigit character:short`

IsPunctuation - returns 1 if the character is punctuation

ToLower - returns the ASCII code of a character converted to lowercase
`(lowerCharacter:short) ToUpper character:short`

ToNumber - takes a string expression and attempts to convert it to a numeric value. By default the string is assumed to be in decimal notation containing digits, at most one decimal point, and an optional leading sign. If the string is prefixed with "0x" or the optional argument is non-zero, the string is interpreted in hexadecimal notation instead, with valid characters consisting of digits and the letters 'A' through 'F'. Returns 0 if the conversion fails.
`(number:float) ToNumber expression:string bIsHex:bool`

#### Examples:

Copying a string:
`set string2 to sv_construct "%z" string1`

Concatenating two strings:
`set string2 to sv_construct "%z%z" string1 string2`

## Format Specifiers

Some OBSE commands take a format string as a parameter. Format strings are actually a collection of arguments consisting of a string followed by zero to twenty variables and/or numbers. The string specifies how the command should use the rest of the arguments to construct a new string. Within the format string, percent signs are used to indicate special characters.

The format specifiers recognized by OBSE commands include all of those recognized by vanilla Oblivion script commands like `MessageBox` as well as several extended specifiers:

- %a - replaced by the character matching the ASCII code passed as an integer
- %c - replaced with the name of a component within another object. Takes two arguments - an object (ref) and the index of the component you want to access (short). Supported object types:
  - Magic Item - prints the name of the nth effect item.
  - Faction - prints the male rank title of the nth rank.
- %e - replaced by nothing. Useful for passing an empty string as an argument, as the script compiler will not accept an empty string. Can be used outside of format strings.
- %i - is replaced by the formID of a reference or object passed in a ref variable
- %k - replaced by a string representing the key associated with a DirectInput scan code
- %n - replaced with the name of a reference or object passed in a ref variable
- %p - replaced with a pronoun based on the gender of the object parameter passed in a ref variable:
  - %ps - subjective (he, she, it)
  - %pp - possessive (his, her, its)
  - %po - objective (him, her, it)
- %q - replaced with a double quote character (takes no arguments). Can be used outside of format strings.
- %r - replaced by a new-line character (takes no arguments). Can be used outside of format strings.
- %v - replaced by the name of an actor value passed as an integer actor value code
- %x - replaced with an integer in hexadecimal format. An optional digit from 0-9 immediately following this specifier indicates the minimum width of the displayed value. For example, `MessageEx "%x4" 255` will display "00FF".
- %z - replaced by the contents of a string variable
- %{ .. %} - Conditionally omits a portion of the format string based on a boolean value. The left bracket accepts a variable; if the value of the variable is zero, all text up to the right bracket will be ignored, and any parameters supplied to format specifiers within the omitted substring will be skipped.

Note that the %e, %q, and %r specifiers can be used within any string literal and will be replaced by an empty string, a double quote, or a carriage return respectively.

## Array Variables

OBSE v0017 introduces the array_var datatype for storing a collection of values within a single variable. An array_var is a set of data elements each identified by a unique key. A key can be a number or a string, and the value associated with the key can be a string, number, game object, or another array. An element's value can be accessed using bracket notation, e.g. `array[key]`. In this documentation, "key" refers to the element's key, and "value" refers to the data associated with that key.

All elements within an array must have the same type of key - all strings or all numeric. However, an array can contain any mix of types for its values. Elements are sorted by key, in ascending order either alphabetically or numerically depending on the key type.

OBSE's array_var type actually represents three different kinds of associative containers:

1. Array:
  An Array behaves like arrays in most programming languages: the key is an unsigned integer starting at zero, and there are no gaps between elements. (In other words, if an element exists at indexes 1 and 3 then an element necessarily exists at 0 and 2). Attempting to access an element using a key which is greater than the highest key in the array results in an error. The only exception to this rule is during assignment: it is okay to assign a value to the key which is one greater than the highest key in the array.
2. Map:
  A Map associates numeric keys with values. Unlike an Array, a Map allows negative and floating point numbers to be used as keys and allows gaps to exist between elements.
3. StringMap:
  Like a Map, except the keys are strings. Keys are case-insensitive, so `array[INDEX]` and `array[index]` both refer to the same value. There is no practical limit on the length of the strings used as keys. StringMaps can be used to simulate C-style structs by associating named properties with data values.

An array_var must be initialized before it can be used in expressions, either by explicitly initializing it using `ar_Construct`, assigning the value of another array_var to it, or assigning it the return value of a command returning an array such as `GetItems`. Most array operations should be performed within OBSE expressions such as `Let` or `Eval` statements. Array elements cannot be passed directly to most commands as arguments. Assigning one array to another as in `Let array_1 := array_2` causes both array_1 and array_2 to refer to the same array, as illustrated below:

    	array_var a
    	array_var b
    	let a := ar_Construct Array
    	let a[0] := "First elem"
    	let b := a                  ; b now refers to the same array as a
    	let b[1] := "Second elem"   ; array now contains two elements

OBSE keeps track of the number of references to each array and destroys the array when no references to it remain. This makes it unnecessary for scripts to worry about destroying arrays explicitly. For example, continuing from the code above:

    	; our array currently has 2 references: the variables a and b
    	let a := ar_Construct StringMap ; now a refers to a new array, and only b refers to ours
    	let b := ar_Null                ; b now refers to no array. No references to our array remain
    	; OBSE will delete the unreferenced array

### Array Operations

OBSE supports a variety of operations on arrays within the context of `Let`, `Eval`, and similar statements.

#### Examples:

    	array_var arr_1
    	array_var arr_2
    	let arr_1 := ar_Construct Array
    	let arr_1[0] := "a string"
    	let arr_1[1] := 1.234
    	let arr_1[2] := Player.GetEquippedObject 16
    	; let arr_1[10] := 0 <- this is an error, index out of bounds
    	let arr_1[3] := Player.GetEquippedItems	; <- arr_1[3] is another array
    	let arr_1[4] := arr_1[3][0]		; <- access first item returned by GetEquippedItems
    	let arr_2 := arr_1[1:3]			; <- arr_2 contains elements 1, 2, and 3 from arr_1
    	let arr_2 := arr_1[1:-2]  ; <- arr_2 contains elements 1 through (size of arr_1 minus 2) of arr_1

### Array Functions

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, an `array_var` parameter may be either a variable declared as array_var or an array element containing an array. Commands accepting this type of parameter must be called within the context of an OBSE expression such as `Let` or `Eval`.

ar_Construct - creates a new array_var and assigns it to an array variable. Must be called within the context of an OBSE expression such as `Let`. The parameter specifies the type of array to create: StringMap, Map, or Array. See the above section for more information on the different types of array variables.
`(array_var) ar_Construct arrayType:string`

ar_Size - returns the number of elements in an array, or -1 if the array is not initialized. For Array-type variables the highest key in the array is equal to one less than the array's size. Must be called within the context of an OBSE expression. The array can be an array variable or an array element which contains an array.
`(size:short) ar_Size array:array_var`

ar_Dump - for debugging purposes, prints the key and value of every element in an array to the console. Must be called within an OBSE expression.
`(nothing) ar_Dump array:array_var`

ar_DumpID - does the same as ar_Dump but accepts an array ID instead of an array_var. Provided as a convenience for debugging in the console.
`(nothing) ar_DumpID arrayID:short`

ar_Erase - erases elements from an array. You may provide a single element, in which case only that element will be erased and only if it is present. Or, you may provide a range in slice notation. Any elements greater than or equal to the lower bound and less than or equal to the upper bound of the range will be erased. If the array is of type `Array`, elements above the erased elements will be shifted down. Returns the number of elements removed.
`(numRemoved:short) ar_Erase target:array index:arrayIndex`
`(numRemoved:short) ar_Erase target:array range:slice`

Examples:

    	array_var arr
    	let arr := ar_Construct StringMap
    	let arr["another array"] := ar_Construct Array
    	ar_Erase arr["another array"] 0  ; erase element 0 if it exists, higher elements will be shifted down by 1
    	ar_Erase arr "begin":"end"  ; erase any elements having keys >= "begin" and <= "end"

ar_Find - locates the first occurrence of the specified value within an array and returns the key associated with it. A range may optionally be specified using range notation, i.e. `let key := ar_Find "tofind" arrayVar lowerBound:upperBound`. If the value is not found, the function returns an empty string (for string-indexed arrays) or the value -99999.0 (for numeric-index arrays).
`(key:stringOrNumber) ar_Find value:stringOrNumberOrForm arrayToSearch:array inRange:range`

ar_Sort - attempts to sort the elements of an array in ascending or descending order and returns a new Array containing the elements in sorted order (keys associated with the elements are lost). In order to be sorted all elements of an array must be of the same type (strings, numbers, or objects). If this condition is not met an empty Array is returned. Strings are sorted alphabetically and case-insensitively, numbers are sorted numerically, and objects are sorted by formID. By default the elements are sorted in ascending order.
`(sortedArray:Array) ar_Sort toSort:array sortDescending:bool`

ar_SortAlpha - sorts the elements of an array alphabetically in ascending or descending order and returns a new Array containing the elements in sorted order. Ordering is case-insensitive. Unlike `ar_Sort`, does not require elements to be of the same type - numeric elements are converted to a string representation, and forms are sorted by their names (if named) or the string representation of their formIDs. Omitting the optional parameter causes elements to be sorted in ascending order.
`(sortedArray:Array) ar_SortAlpha toSort:array sortDescending:bool`

ar_Copy - creates a copy of the keys and elements of the specified array. The resulting array is identical to the source array. If the source array contains other arrays, the copy will contain references to those same arrays.
`(copy:array) ar_Copy src:array`

ar_DeepCopy - performs the same function as `ar_Copy`, except any arrays contained within the source array are also copied (and any arrays within those arrays are copied as well, and so on).
`(copy:array) ar_DeepCopy src:array`

ar_First - returns the key of the first element in an array
`(key:arrayKey) ar_First src:array`

ar_Last - returns the key of the last element in an array
`(key:arrayKey) ar_Last src:array`

ar_Next - returns the key of the element immediately following the passed key, or `BadIndex` if no key follows it
`(key:arrayKey) ar_Next src:array precedingKey:arrayKey`

ar_Prev - returns the key of the element immediately preceding the passed key, or `BadIndex` if no key precedes it
`(key:arrayKey) ar_Prev src:array prevKey:arrayKey`

ar_BadNumericIndex - returns a constant representing an invalid numeric array index. Compare to the return value of commands returning an array key to determine if a valid key was returned.
`(badKey:short) ar_BadNumericIndex`

ar_BadStringIndex - as above, but for string array keys
`(badKey:string) ar_BadStringIndex`

ar_Keys - returns an Array containing all of the keys of the source array
`(keys:Array) ar_Keys src:array`

ar_HasKey - returns true if the array has an element with the specified key
`(hasKey:bool) ar_HasKey src:array key:arrayKey`

ar_Null - returns an invalid array. This is useful if you wish to specify that a variable which previously referred to an array should no longer refer to any array.
`(nullArray:array) ar_Null`

ar_List - Takes up to twenty arguments of any type and returns an Array containing those elements in the order in which they were passed. We recommend separating the values with commas (starting after the first argument).
`(list:Array) ar_List element0:multi element1:multi ... element19:multi`

The following commands are usable only with Array-type arrays:

ar_Resize - resizes an Array-type array to be of the specified size. If the new size is smaller than the current size, elements at the end of the array are discarded. If the new size is larger, additional elements are appended to the array. By default these elements have the numeric value zero, but an optional argument can be used to specify the value with which to pad the array. Returns 1 if successful, 0 otherwise.
`(bResized:bool) ar_Resize array:Array newSize:short paddingValue:multi`

ar_Insert - inserts a single element into an Array-type array at the specified index provided the index is not greater than the current size of the array. Elements above the index are shifted up by one index.
`(bInserted:bool) ar_Insert array:Array index:short valueToInsert:multi`

ar_InsertRange - inserts a range of elements into an Array-type array at the specified index provided the index is not greater than the current size of the array. The range is passed as an Array. Each element of the range is inserted into the target Array in order. Elements above the insertion index are shifted up by the number of elements inserted.
`(bInserted:bool) ar_Insert target:Array index:short rangeToInsert:Array`

ar_Range - returns an Array of zero or more numbers ranging from start up to and including end spaced in intervals of step. For example, `ar_Range (5,10,2)` returns `(5,7,9)` and `ar_Range (5,3,-1)` returns `(5,4,3)`. This is useful for performing a traditional `for` loop within a `foreach` expression. The optional step argument defaults to 1.
`(range:Array) ar_Range start:short end:short step:short`

ar_Map - creates a Map or Stringmap given a list of 0-20 key-value pairs. Pairs are specified as 'key::value', where 'key' is a string or numeric value and 'value' is a string, number, array, or form.
`(Map/StringMap) ar_Map key-value pair: key-value pair: key-value pair: entry_1:pair entry_2:pair ... entry_20:pair`

ar_Append - appends an element to an Array
`(nothing) ar_Append array: toInsert:`

## OBSE Expressions

OBSE v0017 introduces support for evaluation of complex expressions involving a larger set of operators than that provided by Oblivions `set` and `if` statements, type-checking and type inference, and operations on strings and arrays. These expressions are supported within the context of new commands such as `let` (for assignment, analogous to `set`) and `eval` (to be used within `if` statements to test the value of a boolean expression).

Operators
Symbol | Precedence | Function | Number of Operands | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`:=` | 0 | Assignment | 2 | Assigns the value of an expression on the right to the variable or array element on the left. Right-associative. The value of the assignment is the right-most operand. Supports multiple assignment i.e. `a := b := c := 0` sets all 3 variables to zero. Assignment of strings creates a copy of the string, whereas assignment of arrays creates a reference to the array.
`||` | 1 | Logical Or | 2 | True if either expression is true.
`&&` | 2 | Logical And | 2 | True if both expressions are true.
`+=` | 2 | Add and Assign | 2 | Adds the expression on the right to the variable or array element on the left.
`-=` | 2 | Subtract and Assign | 2 | Subtracts the expression on the right from the variable or array element on the left.
`*=` | 2 | Multiply and Assign | 2 | Multiplies the variable or array element on the left by the expression on the right.
`/=` | 2 | Divide and Assign | 2 | Divides the variable or array element on the left by the expression on the right.
`^=` | 2 | Exponent and Assign | 2 | Raises the variable or array element on the left to the power of the expression on the right.
`:` | 3 | Slice/Range | 2 | Specifies a range of elements in a string or array. For strings, creates a substring. For arrays, creates a copy of the elements within the range. Range includes the upper element. For strings, negative indices start at the last element and count backwards.
`::` | 3 | Make Pair | 2 | Specifies a key-value pair. The lefthand operand defines the key as a numeric or string value, and the righthand operand defines the value (of any type).
`==` | 4 | Equality | 2 | True if the operands are equal. Operands must be comparable to each other.
`!=` | 4 | Inequality | 2 | True if the operands are not equal.
`>` | 5 | Greater Than | 2 | Operands must be comparable and ordered. For strings, comparison is case-insensitive.
`<` | 5 | Less Than | 2 | For strings, case-insensitive.
`>=` | 5 | Greater or Equal | 2 | For strings, case-insensitive.
`<=` | 5 | Less than or Equal | 2 | For strings, case-insensitive.
`|` | 6 | Bitwise Or | 2 | Performs a bitwise or, demoting the operands to integers.
`&` | 7 | Bitwise And | 2 | Performs a bitwise and, demoting the operands to integers.
`<<` | 8 | Binary Left Shift | 2 | Shifts left operand left by specified number of bits, demoting both operands to integers.
`>>` | 8 | Binary Right Shift | 2 | Shifts left operand right by specified number of bits, demoting both operands to integers.
`+` | 9 | Addition/Concatentation | 2 | Adds two numbers or joins two strings.
`-` | 9 | Subtraction | 2 | Self-explanatory.
`*` | 10 | Multiplication | 2 | Self-explanatory.
`/` | 10 | Division | 2 | Self-explanatory.
`%` | 10 | Modulo | 2 | Returns the remainder of integer division.
`^` | 11 | Exponentiation | 2 | Raises left operand to the power of the right operand.
`-` | 12 | Negation | 1 | Returns the opposite of an expression.
`$` | 12 | Stringize | 1 | Returns a string representation of an expression. (Shorthand for ToString).
`#` 12 | Numericize | 1 | Returns the numeric value of a string. (Shorthand for ToNumber).
`*` | 12 | Dereference/Unbox | 1 | Dereferences an array. If the array is a StringMap with a "value" key, returns the value associated with that key. Otherwise returns the value of the first element.
`&` | 12 | Box | 1 | "Boxes" a value of any type, returning an Array containing that value as its only element. The value can be retrieved with the unary * (unbox) operator.
`!` | 13 | Logical Not | 1 | Returns the opposite of a boolean expression. i.e. `!(true)` evaluates to false.
`( )` | 14 | Parentheses | 0 | Enclose expressions within parentheses to override default precedence rules.
`[ ]` | 15 | Subscript | 2 | For arrays, accesses the element having the specified key. For strings, returns a string containing the single character at the specified position. The expression within the brackets is treated as if it were parenthesized (overrides precedence rules).
`->` | 15 | Member Access | 2 | The lefthand operand is a StringMap having a key specified by the righthand operand. Returns the value associated with that key. Example: 'dict->key' is equivalent to 'dict["key"]'

### Considerations

Unlike most programming languages, Oblivion's scripting language doesn't require function arguments to be delineated (e.g., enclosed in parentheses). In most cases this is not a problem, but when an expression contains a call to a function which itself accepts an expression as an argument, followed by another argument or expression, OBSE cannot determine where the inner expression ends. In these cases the entire function call, including the function name, can be enclosed in parentheses to clarify the statement.

Example:
`let a := ar_size array1 + ar_size array2`

The above expression will not compile because OBSE tries to interpret the entire expression following the first call to `ar_size` as an array. Instead the expression must be written as:
`let a := (ar_size array1) + ar_size array2`

For the majority of commands, including all vanilla commands, OBSE commands prior to v0017, and most v0017 commands, the parentheses are not required.

### Run-time Error Reporting

Because it performs type-checking and type-inference, OBSE can detect and report most syntax errors when compiling a script in the Construction Set. However in some cases errors may be impossible to detect until the script is executed. In ambiguous cases, OBSE gives the scripter the benefit of the doubt by assuming the expression is valid. Run-time errors are logged to the console and obse.log, along with the formID of the script which caused the error. Errors may be tested for (and the output of error messages suppressed) using the `TestExpr` command.

Common causes of run-time errors include:

- Expressions involving array elements: Because an array element can hold a value of several types, its type is ambiguous at compile-time. For instance, an expression multiplying two array elements will compile, but will cause an error at run-time if the elements contain non-numeric values. It is the scripter's responsibility to either know that the elements are of the correct type or check their types at run-time.
- Uninitialized arrays: It is an error to use bracket notation to attempt to retrieve an element from an uninitialized array. Arrays are initialized by assignment, for instance by calling `ar_Construct` or by assigning the return value of a command like `GetItems` to an array variable. An uninitialized array stores an arrayID of 0 so testing if an array is initialized is as simple as `if (array)`.
- Non-existent or out-of-bounds array index: Attempting to retrieve a value from an array using a key which does not exist in that array is an error. Assigning to an element with a key which doesn't exist is fine - doing so creates an element with that key - unless the array is of the Array type, in which case using a key which is greater than the number of elements in the array will cause an error.
- Function calls: OBSE knows the return type of commands which return strings or array. However, all vanilla commands and the majority of OBSE commands do not return strings or arrays; they return either numbers or objects. At compile-time OBSE can't know which will be returned, so attempting to use the result of a command like `GetInventoryObject` in an arithmetic expression will result in an error at run-time.

### Expression Statements

Let - The Let statement is OBSE's version of Oblivion's `Set` statement. It takes the form `let expr1 := expr2` where expr1 evaluates to something which can hold a value, such as a variable or array element, and expr2 is an expression of a type which can be stored in expr1. Values within expressions can include arithmetic expressions, function calls, etc. The assignment operator checks the types of its operands, so it will allow assigning a number to a `short` variable but not to a `string_var`.
`(nothing) Let expr := expr`

There is no practical limit to the complexity of the expressions on either side of the assignment as long as their types match.

Examples:

    string_var str
    array_var arr
    short num
    let str := "a string"
    let str := str[0:num] + player.GetName + " some more text"
    let arr := ar_Construct Map
    let arr[(num + player.GetPos Z) / player.GetPos X] := player.GetDistance someRef ^ 2

Eval - `Eval` is used within `if` statements to test the value of an expression. This allows OBSE expressions to be used as conditions. The expression must evaluate to a boolean value.
`(bool) Eval expr`

Example:

    if eval (array[0] > 1)
    	; code executes if array[0] > 1
    endif

TestExpr - attempts to evaluate an expression, returning false if an error occurs during evaluation and true otherwise. This can be useful when checking if an array index is out of bounds or if an element exists with a given key, among other things. `TestExpr` suppresses the output of error messages to the console and log file.
`(bool) TestExpr expr`

Example:

    array_var array
    let array := ar_Construct Array
    if testexpr (array[5] := 2)
    	PrintC "5 is a valid index, assignment succeeded."
    else
    	PrintC "Index 5 is out of bounds, no assignment."
    endif
    let array := ar_Construct StringMap
    if testexpr (array["INDEX"])
    	PrintC "An element exists in array with key 'INDEX'"
    else
    	PrintC "No element with the specified key exists."
    endif

ToString - attempts to convert an expression to a string. For numeric expressions, the result is a string representation of the numeric value. For objects, it is the name of the object if available; otherwise it is the formID expressed in hexadecimal notation. For string expressions no conversion is necessary.
`(string) ToString expr`

Note that the `$` operator can be used in place of `ToString`. The following two lines are equivalent:

    let aStringVar := ToString (aNumber + 1)
    let aStringVar := $(aNumber + 1)

TypeOf - returns a string representing the type of an expression. This is mainly useful for determining the type of an array element at run-time. Possible return values: "String", "Number", "Form", "Array", "StringMap", "Map".
`(type:string) TypeOf expr`

## User-Defined Functions

OBSE allows scripters to define their own functions, which can be called from other scripts. When a function is called, script execution passes to the function and resumes after the function call when a return statement is encountered or execution reaches the end of the function script. Factoring commonly-used code out into a function prevents repetitious code and shortens scripts. Encapsulating complicated routines into stand-alone functions results in simplified, more readable code.

Functions are defined as Object scripts but are treated as a distinct type with special limitations. A function script can contain only one block. The name of the script is the name of the function. Function scripts should never be attached to any object. All variables in a function script must be declared before the function body.

A simple function script might look like:

    ScriptName Multiply	; the name of this function
    float arg1	; holds an argument passed to the function
    float arg2	; second arg
    float localVar	; a local variable
    Begin Function {arg1, arg2}		; function body, with parameter list in {braces}
    	Let localVar := arg1 * arg2
    	SetFunctionValue localVar	; this is the value that will be returned
    	Return				; optional, causes the function to return immediately
    End

Parameters are stored in local variables and must be indicated within `{`braces`}` in the function definition; a set of empty braces indicates the function takes no arguments. Local variables and argument variables retain their values only until the function returns.

To call this function you would use:
`Call Multiply 10 5`

To store the result (50, in this case):
`Let someVar := Call Multiply 10 5`

When parsing a function call, the compiler will verify that the number and type of the arguments match those expected by the function's parameter list. If the called function is specified as a ref variable this validation cannot be performed; it is the scripter's responsibility to ensure the argument list is valid to avoid errors at run-time.

Functions have some useful properties. Because they are object scripts, you can call them on references using `someRef.Call someFunc`; any commands used inside the function will then operate implicitly on the calling reference. Because they are scripts, they can be stored in and called using ref variables, and even passed as arguments to other functions. Functions can call other functions, including themselves (i.e. recursively); for instance:

    ScriptName Pow ; calculates base to the exp power
    float base
    short exp
    short val
    begin Function {base, exp}
    	if exp == 0
    		let val := 1
    	else
    		let val := base * Call Pow base, exp - 1
    	endif
    	SetFunctionValue val
    end

OBSE allows a maximum of 30 nested function calls. This means the above function will only work with exponents less than 30.

A note about local variables within functions: when the function terminates, all local variables are reset to zero. Local array variables are automatically cleaned up so there is no need to use `ar_Null` to reset them. String variables used to hold function arguments are also automatically destroyed. Local string variables, however, are not automatically cleaned up because they may refer to strings in use by other scripts. It is the scripter's responsibility to use `sv_Destruct` to destroy any local variables when appropriate. The following example code illustrates this idea:

    scn SomeFunction
    string_var arg
    string_var local0
    string_var local1
    Begin Function { arg }
    	let local0 := "some string"
    	let local1 := someQuest.someStringVar
    	sv_Destruct local0
    End

In the above script, the string variable `arg` will be automatically cleaned up by OBSE when the function terminates. `local1` will not be, and should not be destroyed explicitly because doing so would invalidate the `someStringVar` variable in an external script. `local0`, however, must be explicitly destroyed as it is not referenced by any other script.

### Event Handler Functions

An event handler is a user-defined function designed to respond to game events. Rather than calling the function directly, the scripter uses SetEventHandler to register it as a handler for a specific event. When the associated event occurs during gameplay, OBSE will invoke any handlers for that event, passing information about the event to the function through its arguments.

Events include block types such as "OnHit", "OnDeath", and so on, as well as other events involving loading, saving, and exiting the game. Each event expects its handlers to accept a specific set of arguments. The supported events, including any required arguments (listed in the order in which they should appear in the function definition) are listed below:

`

    	OnHit				target:ref attacker:ref
    	OnHitWith			target:ref weapon:form
    	OnMagicEffectHit		target:ref magicEffectCode:string (4 characters)
    	OnActorEquip			target:ref item:form
    	OnDeath				target:ref killer:form
    	OnMurder			target:ref killer:form
    	OnKnockout			target:ref
    	OnActorUnequip			target:ref item:form
    	OnAlarm Trespass		alarmedActor:ref criminal:ref
    	OnAlarm Steal			alarmedActor:ref criminal:ref
    	OnAlarm Attack			alarmedActor:ref criminal:ref
    	OnAlarm Pickpocket		alarmedActor:ref criminal:ref
    	OnAlarm Murder			alarmedActor:ref criminal:ref
    	OnPackageChange			target:ref package:form
    	OnPackageStart			target:ref package:form
    	OnPackageDone			target:ref package:form
    	OnStartCombat			target:ref opponent:ref

    	LoadGame			filename:string
    	SaveGame			filename:string
    	ExitGame			NONE (exiting from main menu or in-game menu)
    	ExitToMainMenu			NONE (exiting from in-game menu to main menu)
    	QQQ				NONE (exiting via QQQ/QuitGame console command)

`

For events associated with block types, you may provide a specific value for any, all, or none of the arguments when registering an event handler. The first argument is referred to by the name "ref" and the second as "object", regardless of the names of the argument variables in your function script. Doing so allows you to filter out events you're not interested in. For instance, to handle events involving the player being hit by another actor, use `SetEventHandler OnHit yourScript ref::playerRef`. To handle events in which the player, and only the player, hits anyone else, use `SetEventHandler OnHit yourScript object::playerRef`. To handle the player being affected by a Restore Health magic effect, use `SetEventHandler OnMagicEffectHit yourScript ref::playerRef object::"REHE"`. It is recommended that you prefer to filter events as strictly as possible to allow OBSE to avoid calling your handler for events you're not interested in.

Function - a blocktype which precedes the body of a function. This blocktype is only valid within function scripts. A parameter list consisting of up to ten local variables used to hold arguments passed to the function must follow this keyword enclosed in curly braces; if the function takes no arguments the braces should be empty.

    Begin Function {arg1, arg2, ... arg10}
    	; function body
    End

SetFunctionValue - specifies the value to be returned from a function. Valid only within a `Function` block. If a function does not specify a return value, the return value is assumed to be numeric zero. If multiple calls to `SetFunctionValue` are processed within a single Function block, the most recent value specified will be returned.
`(nothing) SetFunctionValue returnValue:expr`

Call - calls a user-defined function. Should be followed by a list of arguments matching the types expected by the function. If a calling reference is specified, commands within the function body will operate on that reference. Call returns whatever value is returned by the function.
`(returnValue:multi) ref.Call function:ref arg1:multi arg2:multi ... arg10:multi`

SetEventHandler - registers a user-defined function as a handler for the specified event. If the function script returns a value, it will be ignored. Two optional arguments can be supplied as key::value pairs to filter events according to the target and/or object.
`(success:bool) SetEventHandler eventID:string functionScript:ref filter1:pair filter2:pair`

Example usage: `

    	scn FnOnHitByPlayer
    	ref target
    	ref attacker

    	begin Function { target, attacker }
    		; we know the attacker must be the player, but the argument is still required
    		print $target + " was hit by the player"
    	end
    	-------------
    	scn FnOnPlayerRestoreHealth
    	ref target
    	long effectCode

    	begin Function { target, effectCode }
    		print "The player has been hit by a restore health effect"
    	end
    	--------------
    	scn FnOnLoadGame
    	string_var filename

    	begin Function { filename }
    		print "Loading game from " + $filename
    	end
    	---------------
    	scn SomeQuestScript
    	begin gamemode
    		if getGameRestarted
    			SetEventHandler "OnHit" FnOnHitByPlayer object::PlayerRef
    			SetEventHandler "OnMagicEffectHit" FnOnPlayerRestoreHealth ref::PlayerRef object::"REHE"
    			SetEventHandler "LoadGame" FnOnLoadGame
    		endif
    	end

`

RemoveEventHandler - removes the specified script as an event handler for the specified event. Two optional arguments can be supplied as key::value pairs to filter events according to the target and/or object. If both filters are omitted, all event handlers matching the script and event will be removed. If only one filter is omitted, all handlers matching the script, event, and the other filter will be removed. Returns true if at least one matching event handler was found and removed, false otherwise.
`(removed:bool) RemoveEventHandler eventID:string functionScript:ref filter1:pair filter2:pair`

## Inventory References

In Oblivion, objects stored inside of the inventories of actors or containers are not references. However, it can be useful to treat them as references in order to modify them. OBSE provides this functionality through the use of "inventory references", which are specialized, temporary references representing a stack of one or more items inside of a container. Scripts can obtain an inventory reference in two ways: by iterating over the contents of a container, or by creating one directly using CreateTempRef.

Iteration is performed using a ForEach loop. On each pass through the loop, the iterator variable is set to a temporary reference to a stack of identical items within the source container. Items are considered identical if they share the same health, soul level, ownership, and/or other values; if any one of these differ then the items are not considered identical and will be returned in different stacks. The order in which stacks are returned is arbitrary, but stacks of the same base object type are guaranteed to be returned consecutively. Note that the number and contents of the stacks returned may not correspond directly to those displayed in the inventory/container menu.

Within the loop, the temporary reference stored in the iterator variable can be treated almost exactly like a normal reference, allowing you to call functions like SetCurrentHealth, SetCurrentSoulLevel, etc on it. However, as soon as execution returns to the top of the loop the previous value of the iterator becomes invalid - the reference it held no longer exists, and has been replaced by a reference to the next stack of items in the container. When the loop ends, the final reference becomes invalid and the iterator variable is set to `null`. Therefore, you should never store a temporary reference and try to use it later on.

The temporary nature of inventory references require some extra care in their use. The contents of the source container should not be modified within the loop. In general:

- If you move or remove the reference from within a loop using RemoveMeIR, the reference becomes immediately invalid.
- Never use Remove/Add/Equip/UnequipItem/RemoveAllItems on the source container from within the loop. Using EquipMe and UnequipMe to equip or unequip the current reference is fine.
- Don't use SetRefCount to modify the quantity of an inventory reference

The following code illustrates inventory reference usage:

    		scriptName ExampleInvRefSCR	; attached to a container/actor reference
    		ref iter
    		ref container
    		short count
    		begin onActivate
    			let container := getSelf
    			foreach iter <- container
    				let count := iter.GetRefCount
    				print "Found " + $count + " " + iter.GetName + "(s)"
    				if iter.GetOwner && iter.GetOwner != playerRef
    					if iter.IsEquipped == 0		; can't remove equipped items
    						; move stolen items to another container
    						iter.RemoveMeIR someOtherContainerRef
    					endif
    				else
    					; remove completely
    					iter.RemoveMeIR
    				endif
    				; iter is now invalid because RemoveMeIR was used - so we won't attempt to continue using it
    			loop	; now that loop has terminated, iter has been set to null (0)

    			; create a temp ref to a weapon with a specific health value and quantity
    			let iter := CreateTempRef weapSteelDagger
    			iter.SetRefCount 5		; okay to use SetRefCount on a temp ref that is NOT in a container
    			iter.SetCurrentHealth 10 	; damage the 5 daggers
    			iter.CopyIR container		; container now contains 5 damaged daggers
    			let iter := 0				; temp ref will be invalid next frame, set to null to be sure we don't try to re-use it
    		end

RemoveMeIR - removes an inventory reference from its container, optionally transferring it to a different container, in much the same way as the vanilla RemoveMe command. The inventory reference becomes invalid once this command is called and should no longer be used. This command will not remove equipped items until the end of the loop.
`(success:bool) reference.RemoveMeIR containerRef:ref`

CopyIR - copies an inventory reference to the specified container. The calling object needn't be in a container and remains valid after the command is called. If the calling object is equipped, the copy will not be equipped.
`(success:bool) reference.CopyIR container:ref`

CreateTempRef - creates a temporary reference to the specified form. This reference does not exist in the gameworld or in a container, and remains valid for only one frame. It is mostly useful for creating a stack of one or more items to be added to a container with CopyIR
`(ref) CreateTempRef baseObject:ref`

IsEquipped - returns true if the calling object is currently being worn
`(bool) reference.IsEquipped`
