If the user drops more than one file, the Mac OS uses some sort of
mechanism to determine in what order they are sent as AEOpenDoc
events to the application. I'm not sure what it is. However, to use
the first file that is passed, just use the second argument to the
script. All arguments after the first (which is the path to the
application bundle) are paths to the files dropped on the Platypus
app. In the case of Perl, to access the first dropped file you would
use $ARGV[1].

When creating a droplet that I want to only take one file what would I use for the variable in a bash script? I read the documentation, but the example was for perl and was using some sort of an array which isn't what I want since I just want the first in this case.
Actually, thats it for now. :) I'll have more later I'm sure.
