Does anyone know a way of creating a proto SFnode eventOut which is a
reference to itself.

Thanks

Simplier way of doing this, which doesn't create recursion by the way.

Add a field like this to the PROTO:
SFInt32 id 0
You need use unique value for each instance

then have the PROTO send that value as an eventOut, you can then read
the list of proto instances to find the one using that id.

Another way would be to use MFInt32 and have the contents represent the
exact location of the node in the scene graph.
For example:[ 0 1 3]
would be: node=scene.children[0].children[1].children[3];

good luck
