Ar Find

A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender.

Description

Added by NVSE V4. Returns the key of the first occurrence of a value in an array, or optionally within a sub range of the array. If the value searched for is not found, it returns the constant Ar_BadNumericIndex (-99999.0) for numeric indexed arrays, or the constant Ar_BadStringIndex (empty string) for those that are string indexed.
