-
Using nil on either side of find will make the whole statement return Nothing:
_array = [1,2,nil,4,5]; _result = _array find nil; hintSilent str (isNil "_result"); //true _result = nil find 1; hintSilent str (isNil "_result"); //true

- Find doesn't work with multidimensional arrays in OFP/CWA. It will always returns -1.
