Papyrus Naming Conventions

From the Fallout4 CreationKit Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
  • Generally:
  • a --> function argument
  • k --> object
  • b --> boolean
  • i --> integer
  • f --> float
  • s --> string
  • p --> pointer (carryover from internal code, inconsistency, should not be used)
  • r --> reference (carryover from internal code, inconsistency, should not be used)

Example:

Function MyFunction(int myNum, akActionRef)
ak = Function Argument Object.

SmkViper helped flesh out this list. There doesn't appear to be any conformity to conventions with regard to local and script variables.

However:

  • Properties tend to be upper CamelCase.
  • Script variables tend to be upper CamelCase.
  • Local variables tend to be lower camelCase.
  • ReferenceAlias properties always have the "Alias_" prefix.
