{{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== | |||
set | <ul> | ||
<li>While functions that take an implied reference can be cast without needing a variable or call to getself, like so: | |||
<pre>CIOS someSpell</pre> | |||
Doing so may not be clear, and makes the code less portable if moved to a different script that does not support the implied reference. For this reason, modders should prefer the more expressive syntax: | |||
<pre> | |||
ref rSelf | |||
set rSelf to GetSelf | |||
rSelf.CIOS someSpell</pre> | |||
Not only for CIOS, but for all "reference methods" that require a reference, like CIOS. | |||
</li> | |||
<li>[[GetSelf]] will return 0 if called on a reference that has been created dynamically (for example, created via [[PlaceAtMe]], or dropped from an inventory into the game world). | |||
</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
*Using GetSelf in scripts rather than this will result in GECKPU throwing errors. | |||
