NEEDS VERIFICATION: This function always returns none. It used to work correctly, perhaps it was broken in an update?
 
=== Explicit vs. Inherited Ownership ===
 
Object references can have explicit owners and inherited owners. An ''explicit owner'' is associated directly with the object. An ''inherited owner'' is derived from the container that contains the object, the cell that contains the object, or the cell that contains the container that contains the object when the object has not been associated with an explicit owner. GetActorOwner() returns only the explicit owner of an object reference and None when an explicit owner is not found.
