Blackboard – null GO bound parameter initialization error

[bombonitoParticipant]

I am doing an AI of a rat that should patrol the area and look for food.
I created a Global Blackboard, added Game Object BBParameter for the current food target, bound it to a GameObject property in my script.
I intend to leave it as null (by default rat has no idea that any food exists, and has to find it later)
Inside the AI I have Seek node for NavMeshAgent
During scene startup, inside InitializeFieldAttributes() method on Seek node, I get an error that ‘target’ is null and the variable will not be initialized.
And later ActionTask is ignored because it has ‘_isInitSuccess’ = false (or the whole tree has _isInitSuccess = false, not sure how that works)

Why is it an error, shouldn’t it be a warning? And is there any option to disable those validations?
Also, all those validations are in #if UNITY_EDITOR group, so they will not affect the build, it just doesn’t let me test in editor, I assume.

P.S. I tested this without bound parameter, just null GO as exposed property, works with no problem

Managed to solve the problem.
After some more debugging and help from my friend 🙂
‘Check boolean’ node is giving wrong results when trying to do GameObject == true/false.
I’m now using Inverter + Check Variable (GameObject), and the result is correct.
