=== | === In the Papyrus log, why do the FindAllReferences* functions appear to return references in the player's inventory? === | ||
According to SmkViper: | |||
<pre> | |||
When a persistent reference is moved into a container, the container basically | |||
ends up pointing to the original, now mostly-deleted, reference in the world. | |||
FindAllReferences* is simply finding that mostly-dead reference in world and | |||
returning it. If you were to pick up the item, and run far enough away, | |||
FindAllReferences* likely will not find it, because the original reference is | |||
nowhere near your location. | |||
The inventory system is not designed to be iterated over in such a manner, and | |||
Papyrus is generally is set up to discourage that kind of access by not providing | |||
it at all, and (in F4) preventing you from receiving inventory events without | |||
filters in place. | |||
The good news is that several Papyrus functions can now interact more reliably | |||
with the inventory in F4 so, for example, GetBaseObject will always work, no | |||
matter if the object is in the world, in a container, persistent, or not persistent. | |||
