So I'm trying to use setoutfit on an NPC that activates my bed, but I am getting this compile error:

c:\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\SeeYouSleepAliasScript.psc(25,14): SetOutfit is not a function or does not exist

Here is the relevant code:

Scriptname SeeYouSleepAliasScript extends ReferenceAlias   Outfit Property DefaultSleepOutfit AutoEvent OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)        if AkActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()        FadeToBlackHoldImod.ApplyCrossfade(2.0)        Utility.Wait(2)        ActivatorDelay()    Else;NPC activated   	 AkActionRef.SetOutfit(DefaultSleepOutfit)    EndifEndEvent

(akActionRef as Actor).SetOutfit(DefaultSleepOutfit)

akActionRef is an Objectreference, but SetOutfit() is an Actor's method, so you need to cast akActionRef to an Actor.

Ok so how would I go about doing that? I tried this but I got an error:
I defined an actor property NPCRef Auto, then replaced this code in the above script:

AkActionRef.SetOutfit(DefaultSleepOutfit)

with this:

   	 NPCRef = AkActionRef        NPCRef.SetOutfit(DefaultSleepOutfit)

and I get this compile error: type mismatch while assigning to a actor (cast missing or types unrelated)

Actually I posted code for it - it must have looked too much like a quote, sorry. But with an NPCRef variable (no need for a property) you would do this:

Actor NPCRef = AkActionRef as Actor
NPCRef.SetOutfit(DefaultSleepOutfit)

That compiled great, thanks! I should have known as I've seen code like that before, but in all the source code examples they never used it that way in their syntax, I guess I assumed that anything activating an object reference would be an actor.
