GetClickingObject()

Used in the OnClick event to return the clicking object.

object GetClickingObject();

Description

Use this in a trigger's OnClick event script to get the object that last clicked on it. This is identical to GetEnteringObject.

Remarks

The reason for it being identical to GetEnteringObject() is that triggers, or course, can be said to be clicked on, or entered, when a transition is used.

This function is of course not meant to be used outside cirtain events, as it can return long dead or invalid creatures.

        AssignCommand(oPC, SpeakString("I need to find the key..."));
