THIS and Referencing a Spatial Component in VS

In Visual Scripting many events and actions give you the option between referencing a specific spatial component or using This. Take the Spatial Trigger on Exit event for example:

This means it will look for a Trigger Event attached to the same GameObject as the ScriptMachine . Bellow is an example of the condition needed for This to work. Notice both the Trigger Event and Script Machine components are part of the same GameObject. If the Trigger Event was not on the same GameObject This would equal NULL and the event would never fire.

If you don’t want to use This and instead want to reference a specific component, you can do that through a GameObject reference. In the following example I have a scene variable of type GameObject defined. I can then use that variable as an Input into the Spatial Trigger On Enter event to receive the event for the trigger on that particular GameObject from any script in the scene.
