The console function IsRidingHorse doesn't seem to have a Papyrus equivalent. The following workaround seems to work, but it seems a little odd that there's no function or property anywhere that'll just give you the answer. Am I missing something?

bool function PlayerOnHorse()   Actor lastHorse = Game.GetPlayersLastRiddenHorse()   if lastHorse == none      return false   else      return lastHorse.GetPlayerControls()   endIfendFunction

IsMoving() would also be nice, especially since IsRunning seems to return true even if the player is standing still.

You might be able to work something up using the below function.

How about his?: http://www.creationkit.com/GetSitting

There doesn't seem to be a "GetVehicle" function, so that's sort of a dead end. Still a useful function though.


GetSitting is another console command, and the Papyrus equivalent, GetSitState, only returns 0, 2, 3, or 4, so it won't differentiate between sitting in a chair and sitting on a horse.

Use the event http://www.creationkit.com/OnSit_-_Actor, and test the reference passed to it?

Yup, that'd probably work, and it could be used for actors other than the player. That event has to be in an Actor script though, or a ReferenceAlias script, so for my purposes (checking only the player, in a quest script) the GetPlayerControls method is probably more straightforward.
