What is <null>

[krumpo 1]

Hi,

I am having a problem testing some return values. This is for a multiplayer mission, I am trying to test if a local variable is set via:

_name = _this select 0
{
  if (isPlayer _x) then
  {
     _marker = _x getVariable _name;
     if (isNull _marker) then
    {
       _marker = createMarkerLocal.....
    }
  };
} foreach playableUnits;

When I run this code with some diag_log statements to see what _marker actually is it shows up as <null> in the logs, but isNull does not evaluate to true somehow. Am I misunderstanding something here, does <null> not really mean null?

Thank you.

Non existing variable are tested through isnil IIRC.

Tested isNil as well and it does not work either.

isNil "_marker" seems to have been the answer, thanks for playing everyone.
