locationNull could be confusing when testing destinationTask :
if a task is created, taskDestination returns an array working as position : _mytask_distance = (taskDestination (currentTask player)) distance player;
When task completed Hint format ["%1", taskDestination (currentTask player)] returns <null> while !isnull taskdestination.. leads to an error.
correct test : _destination_task = taskDestination (currentTask player); if (!isNil "_destination_tsk") then {...
}}
