GetAVinfo Console Command

The getAVinfo command, which stands for "Get Actor Value Info", provides detailed information about a specified attribute for a selected object or NPC, not just its value.

The information might include the base value, current modifiers, and any active effects influencing the attribute.

NPC or object: If targeting an NPC or object, either click on them with the mouse or use prid <Reference ID> to select them.

Player: If targeting your own character, use the command player.getAVinfo <attribute>.

Effects: The console will display a comprehensive list of information about the selected attribute for the targeted object or NPC. This can include:

• Base Value: The original, unmodified value.
• Current Value: The current, potentially modified value.
• Active Modifiers: Any active effects or influences changing the value from its base. This could be due to spells, equipment, or other game mechanics.

For example, to get information about the player's health, use the command player.getAVinfo health. The console will display the following information:

GetValueInfo: Health on John
...Current Value: 176.79  Computed Base: 200.00
...Base Value components:
......Reference Base Value: 200.00
......Derived Value: 0.00
...Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 55.00 Damage: -78.21
...Level-up Value: 255.00

As we can see, the player character, which we have named "John" has a health of 176.79, which is less than the base health of 200.00.

Using getAVinfo can be particularly useful when trying to troubleshoot why a certain attribute is behaving unexpectedly. It offers a more in-depth look compared to the simpler getAV command.
