object this_player()

Returns the object that 'activated' your function by an
add_action()-trap or similar. This might be the user typing
a command that you have defined, but just aswell be a
monster! The naming is a bit incorrect, the efun should
probably be called this_actor().

'this_player()', the command giver, has effects upon many
functions. For instance write() is just like tell_object(
this_player(), ...) while say() is the tell_room() without
this_player.

If you look for the user who activated something,
and be sure not to get the monster (e.g. during a fight)
you probably want to use this_interactive().
