Hi, community!

So, I was just reading papyrus introduction page at creation kit wiki and, at that same page, they show this script sample:

Scriptname MyTriggerBoxScript extends ObjectReference

Quest Property MyQuest Auto
Int Property StageToSet Auto

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()
MyQuest.SetStage(StageToSet)
EndIf

EndEvent

So, I have two Doubts:

1) How can he compare "Object reference" to "game.getplayer()" ? I mean.. When comparing things I expect them to be similiar, like variable == variable or Variable == number.

Are they similar in some way that I am not percieving?

2) Why did he wrote "game.getplayer()" instead of just "getplayer()"

Hope a nice soul can cast some light in these subjects

Srry for the bad english btw, Brazilian here
