A little help with console commands.

[Castorice]

I want to test out some console commands but whenever i do it just says "requires reference"...
This is what i typed in:
.additem 000A6F77 1

Plese help! ty

pretty sure additem has no period?

Additem is what is called a reference function, meaning that you must provide it with a reference to add the item to. Type in this reference before the period like this:

player.additem A6F77 1

Or if you want to add something to something other than the player, use the reference ID surrounded by double quotes:

"96BCE".additem A6F77 1

I think you can just click on yourself too in console command and use additem

For the player, that sounds terribly cumbersome, much quicker to just type it out. And you'd have to switch perspective first if you're in first person, which I play in exclusively.

But for other NPCs/containers, it's quicker to click on them. Doing so will select them and make any reference function run on them implicitly, without typing the ref ID and the period.
