Talk:GetActionRef

Returns Attacker

So Kyoma says here that GetActionRef can return the last actor to attack the calling actor if called within a OnHit block! That's potentially extremely useful, are there any other undocumented uses of it? Does anyone care to test this new discovery?

Testing suggests Kyoma was probably mistaken. I've editted it back to how it was originally.

Condition?

Not sure whether this can be used as a condition--Haama 18:36, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

It only works from within an onTrigger/onActivate block, so no. Scruggs 13:49, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Returns nothing?

If nothing is trigger your object and you call getactionref , what does it return? Someone knows? --Vswe 11:47, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

If there is no ActionRef to return, it should return 0. Thus this should work:

set refVar to GetActionRef
if ( refVar )
  ;blah blah
else ; refVar == 0, hence there is no refVar
  ;whatever
endif

I haven't specifically tested GetActionRef for this, but that's how every other Record Variable Function works.

Thanks for answearing. I also thought that but It didn't work. Now i found it was becuase the triggerbox was triggered by the room. --Vswe 14:24, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
