But so far all I've witnessed object functions to be usable with is this. prefix. I tried it with temp and it didn't work for the most part, I'll make sure to test that out again, but I think it should work in general tho.

E: Definitely only useable with this. prefix. The question is if this is so limited, can we get some more effective or in-depth uses of pointer functions. At this time I don't really see the use.

A TGraalVar that is an "Object" exists as a reference to the object so no matter where the variable is it will always point to a specific object. And yes, you can return object references.

It is something I used in my mud system, you construct all mud objects in a single array and return the object reference with the function. Having a master list prevents the object from being destroyed because of lack of references. Though I don't know what Graal does when all references are removed, I expect it similar to Java.

Currently destroying a child staticvar within a parent staticvar leaves a pointer in the parent to the child. Basically it points to 0's. Highly annoying for debugging . Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
