GetSelf

Syntax:

set refVar to GetSelf
set refVar to this

An alias for This. Returns the calling object itself as a reference. Useful for if statements, or for setting reference variables on other scripts.

Notes

• This function doesn't work quite as expected for items. See Modding Terminology, especially the Dynamic Items and Scripting Notes sections for more information.
• This function appears to be unreliable when called on the player.
  • You can use

set ref to GetSelf
if (ref.GetIsReference player == 0)

to make sure it's not the player. See the talk page for more information.

• This function returns 0 when called on a Light.
