GetClickingObject()
From NWN Lexicon
Jump to navigationJump to searchUsed in the OnClick event to return the clicking object.
Description
Use this in a trigger's OnClick event script or a placeable or doors OnFailToOpen event 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 certain events, as it can return long dead or invalid creatures.
