Most interesting... The reason why I wondered this is because at the beginning of my SERIOUS
scripting adventures, something you actually helped me with once upon a time, and sadly most of the thread was lost to a website database issue. Anyways, when I was needing to RemoveEffect(xxx) from a certain NPC, I needed to find the specific effect. I found it quite frustrating that there was no way to directly "get" the value - rather I had to use a loop and use GetCurrentEffect and compare that to my desired value, else GetNextEffect rinse'n'repeat.... It got the job done
but it was IMO less than ideal.
My confusion I now recognize as one of those
moments... NPC_
INTEGER, where
INTEGER is a placeholder for the actual data, eg
MISSION or
ATTON. I musta drank about 15 Dr. Peppers....
