Description

Description:

Checks whether the tested item is Null.
Which null type the item has to be equal to depends on the type of game entity tested:

• Objects -> objNull
• Controls -> controlNull
• Displays -> displayNull
• Groups -> grpNull
• Locations -> locationNull (since ARMA 2)
• Tasks -> taskNull (since ARMA 2)
• Scripts -> scriptNull (since Arma 3 1.29.127075)
• Configs -> configNull (since Arma 3 1.53.133130)

Note: A test via == does not work, because, for example, objNull is not equal to anything, not even to itself. Use isEqualTo.
