1# Nulls node 2 3> [!NOTE] 4> For versions 2019/2020 LTS, download the Visual Scripting package from the [Unity Asset Store](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/visual-bolt-163802). 5 6Null nodes deal with the null value, which is scripting lingo for "nothing". 7 8## The null node 9 10The null node always returns null as a value. Leaving a Unity object reference field empty ("None") automatically means null. 11 12 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. 18 19![](images/vs-nulls-null-check-node.png) 20 21## Null Coalesce 22 23The null coalesce node provides a fallback value in case the original input is null. 24 25For example, the null coalesce node defines a default fallback audio clip in case the one on the audio source is missing. 26 27![](images/vs-nulls-null-coalesce-node.png)
