= Cycle Through a List of Objects and Perform an Action on Each Object(Linked Ref Chain) =
This script will cycle through all the references in a linked ref chain and perform an action on each of them.  In this example, the action would be to move each reference up by 16 units when you activate any one of them.  Basically, it's the same thing as the FormList version, except you create a linked ref chain instead of a FormList.

'''To Make This Script Work'''
* This script runs off an OnActivate event, so you must be able to activate the object this script is attached to.
** You can change the OnActivate to whatever you wish to fire off the action.
* You need to create a linked ref chain.
** If you don't know how to create a linked ref to another object, read [[Bethesda_Tutorial_Encounters#Default_Master_Package_and_Linked-Refs|this]].
** A linked ref chain is basically an object that has a linked ref, which has its own linked ref, which also has its own linked ref, etc.
* Remember to attach this script to the first object in the linked ref chain
** If your linked ref chain links back to itself, then you could put this script on each of the objects
