As it's in title - what's easiest way to get reference of actor, who's attacking player character? I tried two different methods, but neither was simple nor working. I need this reference for casting scripted effect on enemies.

In what context? Gunfire, melee, just after the player is hit, any actor in combat with the player at a given time...?

I just need reference, conditions are much easier to figure out. However if you're willing to help - I'm going to use one of conditions desribed below, but I'm not sure which one will be best. I want this to work, when enemy detected player and is about to engage combat (when sneak indicator changes from [Caution] to [Danger]).

self.IsInCombatself.GetCombatTarget playerself.GetFactionRelation player == 1self.GetDetected player

"self" is enemy reference, that I need.

If you're running the script on the actual reference you're trying to get then you have to declare reference variable using

ref MyRef

then you can use a function that runs implicitly on the calling actor like This or GetSelf, to set the MyRef variable to that value.

So, from your code example.

ref MyRefbegin GameModeset MyRef to GetSelf  ;now GetSelf is the reference of your actorself.IsInCombatself.GetCombatTarget playerself.GetFactionRelation player == 1self.GetDetected playerend

Although I have a feeling this isn't what you want either.

If only it would be that easy... GetSelf works only in effect scripts, which are applied by something else. This "something else" is what I need to figure out.

EDIT: Also your code is wrong, there is no "if" and I'm not going to add all these conditions. It was just suggestion.

So basically you just want to get the references of every NPC in the nearby area, and then determine if they're in combat. Use the NVSE function GetFirstRef- it's a bit complicated so look it up on the wiki, but it's basically going to be like:

set refVar to GetFirstRef 200 1label 10if(refVar)   ;Do whatever   set refVar to GetNextRef   goto 10endif

Thanks. I tried GetFirstRef already, but without label.
