Hi All,

I have  simple problem here.
In an empty scene, create a camera with a UserData field called "Link" and of the link type.

Now, add an expresso TAg to the camera and drop in the Camera, A COFFEE node and a Result node.

Connect the UserData field to the input of the COFFEE node and the Output to the Result.

Here is the code:

main()
{
	if (Input1 == NULL)
	{
		Output1 = 0.0;
	}
	else
	{
		Output1 = 1.0;
	}
}

Quite simple, if there is no object in the UserData link field, it outputs 0, if there is, it outputs 1.

But this does not work. Can anyone explain why, and how to make it work?

Thanks

Thank you, that does work. but I have to ask...

What is the difference between NULL and nil?

They both highlight as orange keywords in the editor...

Afaik nil stands for an undefined status in COFFEE. For instance if a variable hasn't been initialized.
