GetSelf

Syntax:

set refVar to GetSelf
set refVar to this

Example:

if GetSelf == GetActionRef

set MyQuest.targetRef to GetSelf

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

Notes:

• When this function is called on a carriable object (such as a weapon or miscellaneous item), the reference returned only remains valid while the object remains in the gameworld.
• 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.
