Null nodes deal with the null value, which is scripting lingo for "nothing".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## The null node
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The null node always returns null as a value. Leaving a Unity object reference field empty ("None") automatically means null.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Null Check
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The null check is a shortcut for a branch on an equality comparison with null. It can be useful to direct the flow in different directions depending on whether a value is null.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, it can be used to handle a situation differently whether a transform has a parent in the hierarchy or not.

|
## Null Coalesce
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The null coalesce node provides a fallback value in case the original input is null.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, the null coalesce node defines a default fallback audio clip in case the one on the audio source is missing.
