Mobile storage question

[Taffer]

private Mobile m_mobile;

Say I store a NPC mobile in this format for referance later on. What happens if I referance the mobile value after the NPC mobile is dead or deleted? Is this effected by saves or will it keep brief referance data even after the mobile is deleted? Will it just cause a null referance exception when referanced?

it will return null, so nothing. no data is saved. except the info on the corpse.

It won't return null at all. It will still return the Mobile as it was, even when Dead or deleted.

That's why Mobile has the Alive and Deleted variables...

The only time it will return null is if the Mobile never existed, wasn't set, or runtime no longer uses the Mobile data/information anywhere... (Like when the corpse has been deleted) -that is when the .NET Cleanup takes place, only when an object is not referenced or used anymore.
