Talk:FindClosestActorFromRef - Game

Can recreate this function that will ignore arCenter in the search if it's an actor.

Actor Function FindTheClosestActorFromRef(ObjectReference center, Float radius)
    Keyword ActorType = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x0013794, "Fallout4.ESM") as Keyword
    ObjectReference[] ActorsFound = Game.GetPlayer().FindAllReferencesWithKeyword(ActorType, radius)
    Int maxActorsFound = ActorsFound.length
    Int lowestDist = 99999999
    Int closestActorIndex = 0
    Int i = 0
	
    if maxActorsFound > 0
		
	; is the source ref an actor?
	if (center as actor) == true
			
		; remove the source ref from the array
		Int sourceRefIndex = ActorsFound.Find(center)
		ActorsFound.Remove(sourceRefIndex)
			
		; reassign the new length of the array
		maxActorsFound = ActorsFound.length
			
	endif
		
	    while i < maxActorsFound
		if (ActorsFound[i].getDistance(center)) as int < lowestDist
			lowestDist = (ActorsFound[i].getDistance(center)) as int
			closestActorIndex = i
		endif
	        i += 1
	   endwhile
		
	       return ActorsFound[closestActorIndex] as Actor
    else
	return none
    endif
EndFunction
