Editing GetSelf

{{Function
 |CSWikiPage = GetSelf
 |origin = GECK1
 |summary = Returns the RefID of the calling reference.  [[GetSelf]] is only useful when this information is accessed externally, or when the scripted reference's RefID needs to be passed as a parameter to a function like [[PushActorAway]]
 |alias = this
 |example = ref rSelf
 set rSelf to GetSelf
 player.PushActorAway rSelf 5
}}

==Notes==
<ul>
<li>Because reference functions can be called on the scripted reference implicitly by omitting explicit reference syntax, the following code structure should never be used:
<pre>ref rSelf
set rSelf to GetSelf
rSelf.ReferenceFunction</pre>
Instead, just use code like this:
<pre>ReferenceFunction</pre>
</li>
<li>If [[GetSelf]] is called in a script that is attached to an inventory item, the GECK will show a warning message when the data file is loaded.  This warning can only be ignored if you can guarantee that the return value of [[GetSelf]] will not be used if it is called while the scripted item is in an inventory.  This is due to the fact that inventory items do not have regular RefIDs.  Rather, they are assigned RefIDs for the duration of a script execution so that reference functions may be called on them from their script, but these RefIDs are not permanent so attempting to use one of them will likely result in a script halt or other unintended behavior.
