this (Expression Function Reference)
The Function > Node > this command in the expression editor inserts the token this. at the insertion point in the editing pane. This makes the object reference itself in the expression. Enter the object’s parameter name after the period.
The “this” token is useful when you want to write object-independent expressions, such as for using the same expression on many different objects.
Example
this.kine.local.posy
Always refers to the local Y position of the object whose parameter is the target.
