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:
Type Object Group Control Display Location Task Script Config Diary Record
Null value objNull grpNull controlNull displayNull locationNull taskNull scriptNull configNull diaryRecordNull
Since OFP v1.00 OFP v1.00 Arma v1.00 Arma v1.00 Arma 2 v1.00 Arma 2 v1.00 Arma 3 v1.29.127075 Arma 3 v1.53.133130 Arma 3 v1.99.146508
⚠
A test via == does not work, because a null value is not equal to anything, not even itself (configNull being the exception). See also isEqualTo.
Problems:
teamMemberNull for Team Member type is not supported. Use private _isNull = _teamMember isEqualTo teamMemberNull instead.
Groups:
Uncategorised
