Extending to objectreference and actor : V

How do I extend to objectreference and actor scripts?

I'm trying to get an actor take all of his defeated opponent's items but since I extended to Actor, I can't find a way to use RemoveAllItems() in that script.

~~Cast 'As ObjectReference', perhaps?~~

As ObjectReference?
Well heres the script and the output if that will help...

Spoiler

Scriptname LootItems extends Actor
{Loot stuff}

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)

if (aeCombatState == 1)
if (akTarget.GetKiller() == self)
Debug.MessageBox("loot time!")
akTarget.RemoveAllItems(ObjectReference akTransferTo = self, bool abKeepOwnership = false)

endif
endif

endEvent

c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\LootItems.psc(10,26): no viable alternative at input 'ObjectReference'
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\LootItems.psc(10,61): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input ','

Odd it won't indent

Indentation: You have to flick the WYSIWYG switch in the post editor.

Script: Ah... NM about the 'As ObjectReference' part. You just need to specify the arguments.

ScriptName LootItems extends Actor{Loot stuff}Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)	If aeCombatState == 1		If akTarget.GetKiller() == Self			Debug.MessageBox("loot time!")			akTarget.RemoveAllItems(Self)		EndIf	EndIfEndEvent

Im confused, why Game.Player()? or is that an example.
I'm trying to get the killer to loot anyone it kills such as other actors.

Nvm I get it now. Thanks.

*fix'd, then, by substituting w/ 'Self'.

FYI for future reference. You're copying and pasting the decleration samples for the function signatures.

akTarget.RemoveAllItems(ObjectReference akTransferTo = self, bool abKeepOwnership = false)

Don't provide your object types in the functions you call

akTarget.RemoveAllItems(akTransferTo = self, abKeepOwnership = false)

And finally, you don't necessarily have to specify the parameter names assuming you are providing ALL of the parameters and/or don't need to override a default:

akTarget.RemoveAllItems(self, false)

Assuming you have a reference to your target via akTarget, and that self is the actor that the script is running on and you want to move all the items to.
