10The null node always returns null as a value. Leaving a Unity object reference field empty ("None") automatically means null.

13## Null Check
14
15The 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.
16
17For example, it can be used to handle a situation differently whether a transform has a parent in the hierarchy or not.

21## Null Coalesce

23The null coalesce node provides a fallback value in case the original input is null.

25For example, the null coalesce node defines a default fallback audio clip in case the one on the audio source is missing.
