object GetFirstObj ( )

Return Value: The first item in the item list.

Arguments: none

This function returns the first (topmost) item in the item list. This function is exactly the same as GetFirstObject( ).

NOTE: It is far more efficient to pass a script function an object than it is to use this function in the script. If your script will execute very often, every frame perhaps, then you will want to keep your use of this function to a minimum.

VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT keep an object between calls to a script function, there is no guarantee that the object will still be there the next time the function is called. For example:

int someFunc( )
{
     static object obj = GetObject("Camera");
     // do something with obj
}

If the object "Camera" is deleted between calls to this function very bad things will happen. It is better to pass the Camera object as a variable to the function.
