Error "Tried to init array with nil object"

[phkb]

I'm running this code to determine if a ship has missiles:

Code: Select all

if (ship.missiles) {
   ...some code to run when there are missiles...
}

However, if there are no missiles installed I get this error:

Code: Select all

Error: Native exception: Tried to init array with nil object

I tried doing if (ship.missiles.length > 0) and even adding a check for missileCapacity but neither solution worked. In the end I put the code into a try/catch block to work around the issue.

Thanks for the reports guys. I have pushed a tentative fix on github. Can you please check and confirm that it works without issues or side effects?
