As I recall index zero of the weapon bag is always a null "no weapon" weapon... jonwil could confirm that though.

Which would make sense, far easier to have a slot for no weapon then hacking in a special "no weapon" state into all the weapon functions.

Well how I would do it is to have the WeaponIndex variable be -1. That saves 4 bytes of memory so you don't have to store the NULL pointer in the weapon list Very Happy

However, if they stored them in an array instead of a linked list -1 could cause some pretty serious issues Razz

Or you could just do a quick check if it's -1 before accessing the array
