Might be a good idea to indicate what it's supposed to do and what it's actually doing. I am assuming it's supposed to detect when the player is in a cave or mine and make the area become lit by a torch. Main problem: Torch02 is a base object, not a reference, so it doesn't exist anywhere in the gameworld and can't be enabled or disabled. If this doesn't help, explain what you're trying to accomplish.

Yeah, you are right. It's supposed to detect if a player is in a cave or mine, and increase the torch light radius because with the combination of mods I use, caves and mines are real dark.

This is the whole script, scruggsy. What I posted earlier is what I added. The script addition that I made isn't running. I tested it with the "PrintC" function at two points and it isn't running. Any ideas why?

I've changed the script to make it much simpler. It still doesn't work. The script references a variable set in another esp. Is that why it's not working? Because you can't call a variable from an esp? Dropping lit torches works fine. This is all I've added to it:

if LocationType.Type == 2	Torch02.SetLightRadius 2592	PrintC "Cave"endif

It doesn't work though.

Alright, this is what I have now, but it doesn't work.

RunScriptLine "set Cave to LocationType.Type"if Cave == 2	Torch02.SetLightRadius 2592endif

According to the CS Wiki, "SetLightRadius" will only work when a cell has been loaded, or by disabling and enabling the reference. Scruggsy said that a torch is a base object, not a reference, so how do I disable it?

Ok I see - you want to increase the radius of all torches when the player is in a cave.
The script is choking on this line:

Torch02.setlightradius 2592

Torch02 is a base object, not a reference. The thing on the left of the dot must be a reference; if it's not, the game will stop executing your script. Use this instead:

setlightradius 2592 torch02

This is a common idiom with OBSE commands - you can either call the command on a reference, which will apply the command to that ref's base object, or you can pass a base object as the final argument.

Yes! It works now. Thanks you, scruggsy. Another question: can I use the "RunBatchScript" function in a Object script? I'd like to be able to have the torch brightness configurable via an ini so I don't have to keep opening the CS if I want to tweak the brightness.

Yes.

Cool, thanks.
