can you use an object param in an expression?

I did, but I don't know how to use it in construct

I tried (objectname.UID) ("object name") and (objectname)

I'm going to make it take an int param and use the UID to find the object for now

but I'm curious if it's possible anyway

also, what's selectf and selectallf?

Object parameters aren't supported in expressions. You could use a string of its name or the UID as you suggest though. However, the rest of Construct never does that, so it would be unusual. It might be better to have a 'set object' action followed by expressions with no parameters instead.

Yes, current standard is to set an object via an action if it is to be used by other actions/conditions/expressions. I wouldn't advise an object name parameter except for very specific uses.
