Most script functions are reference functions. This refers to the fact that they must be run on an [[Reference|object reference]]. Reference scripts (object scripts and dialogue result scripts) can use implicit reference syntax. For example: | Most script functions are reference functions.

You can always use explicit reference syntax, meaning that you explicitly specify the reference to run the function on. [[Non-reference scripts]] MUST use explicit reference syntax, since they are not running on an object reference.

LucasSimmsRef.GetFactionRelation player | |||
Here we are asking for Lucas Simm's faction relation towards the player. This syntax could be used in any script, because we have made the function's reference explicit. | Here we are asking for Lucas Simm's faction relation towards the player.
