Edit: I just figured out what I was missing vis-a-vis calling functions from external scripts. Nonetheless, since I do not desire to marry my mod to another mod which it only supports optionally, I still would like to have a solid grasp of how to make use of GetFormFromFile. I've been told it's an alternative to "scriptname property Something auto". The difficulty here is that 1) first and foremost, I have no clue how to determine what the "form ID" is, and that's a crucial bit of data required by this function, and 2) I don't quite get how using this function is supposed to enable me to tap functions in specific scripts. There's a lot left unspecified on the wiki.
