Hello everyone at the AppGameKit community. I was a V2 pledger and got access to this great software. I have a project I created in the V1. In that project there used to be a NIL value, to set a variable to NULL. In V2, the compiler does not recognize NIL or NULL. I have been unable to find what happened to the value or what new keyword to use. Could you give me a hint on this?

Sorry if this has been asked already, I couldn't find it on the forums either.

Greetings

integers have only values, means NULL did not exist but 0 as default value.
its not object orientated in tier1 basic.

Yep, no null value in AppGameKit, it was just initializing a new value and storing 0 in it. I believe AGK2 complains about un-initialised variables.

I can confirm what Mobiius says.
To fix it in your code, just add one line at the start:

nil = 0

Yeah, AppGameKit has never used a NULL value. All integer and float variables are 0 by default and strings are "". If you don't want to use that then I suggest BatVink's idea, but use a constant declaration instead.

I guess I have to change the source code as suggested. Thanks a lot for all of your comments.
