refer to self (this)

[nikisoko]

Is there a way to refer to the object that a script is acting on? What I mean is if I'm doing something like the following:

round(x*getattribute(MultiSlider, 'nbr'))

I would like to change MultiSlider to something like 'this' or 'self' so that I don't have to go in and edit the script every time I make change the name of the object or make a copy of the object.

Thanks,
-Nick

Hi

I think you want 'getobject()' passing nothing as the argument returns the enclosing object , ,
Use it by declaring something like

decl this = getobject();
out = round(x*getattribute(this, 'nbr'));

Can also be used to get/store references to any object
An implicit 'this' function has also been requested on the wishlist from memory . . .

Macciza thank you sir for the answer! I remember someone asking for a ob ref 'this' as well.
