I recently had a strange experience with this command. I forgot to wrap the name of the variable with quotes, and it returned the opposite of the true null status of the variable. Just something to watch out for.

General Barron

^ If you don't wrap the name of the variable in quotes, then it will instead read the value of the variable itself. If that variable is a string or code, then the command will use that string or code held by the variable. Example:

_myvar = "_hisvar";
isnil _myvar;
//will return true if _hisvar is null
_myvar = {tank1};
sleep (random 50);
isnil _myvar;
//will return if tank1 is nil, at the time the isnil command is checked (not at the time _myvar is established)
