Calling reference
From GECK
(Redirected from Calling)
Some functions may be called on a reference, and apply their procedure to them. Beware that a ref variable does not necessarily store a reference- in the GECK it may also store a base form. For example:
ref MyRefVar set MyRefVar to WeapNV9mmPistol ; Base form! if MyRefVar.IsQuestItem ; !INVALID for base forms! .. if IsQuestItem MyRefVar ; Valid for base forms ..
If a script is called with a calling reference, then every function in that script that does not have an explicit calling reference will be implicitly called by that script's calling reference.
A script's implicit calling reference can be retrieved via GetSelf / GetSelfAlt.
