Description

Description:
A non-existent Diary Record. To compare non-existent objects use isNull or isEqualTo:
diaryRecordNull == diaryRecordNull; // false isNull diaryRecordNull; // true diaryRecordNull isEqualTo diaryRecordNull; // true
Before Arma 3 v2.00, isNull did not work with the diary record type and diaryRecordNull did not exist.

In order to verify a null record, it is possible to create a variable and compare against it:

private _diaryRecordNull = objNull createDiaryRecord []; private _createdRecord = player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Title", "Description"]]; if (_createdRecord isEqualTo _diaryRecordNull) then { hint "Failed"; };
