How to compare a REF to an EditorID?

[ulrim]

ref horseRef


short horseFound

short showMsg


set horseRef to GetPCLastHorse


if horseRef == HorsePCWhiteAnvilRef  ; original intention, isn''t recommended to use


(also tried:)


if horseRef.GetIsReference HorsePCWhiteAnvilRef  ; EditorID

if horseRef.GetIsID HorsePCWhiteAnvil  ; Base Object


(and this stops script from running because HorsePCWhiteAnvil is already a Base Obj.


set baseObj to horseRef.GetBaseObject


if baseObj.GetIsID HorsePCWhiteAnvil


  let horseFound := 1

  let showMsg := 1

  ; do something

else

  let horseFound := 0

endif


if showMsg

  if horseFound

    Message "I Found AnvilWhite horse."

  else

    Message "I found nothing."

  endif

  let showMsg := 0

endif[/code]

Results:

Found nothing so far.

Can you help me find it?

RefScope to the rescue.

Result: I had been playing with a horse that is not the vanilla horse. Mods... eheh
