Don't "dude" me, I just gave you a proper answer from someone that has been doing this for a long time.

Provide a patch that actually proves the code is duplicated/useless and then we can continue talking about it.
telling same thing to you as I did to afk5min XD Leave him and answer to my PM xD
You're right. I have forgotten how to act like a normal human being. And I play games and I lie and I trick people to avoid the truth of how I feel.

Sure, when you are the only developer, you can say that

'HO HO HO, merry xmas! this method does not need a null check, because all callers do a null check themselves! I know, because I wrote the code all by myself. Also, noone will ever add any code that violates these conditions, because I AM THE ONLY DEVELOPER'

Compute sequentially, true or false?

1 method call another method to continue the hit so if we will put the check on start so...

Honestly, I am tired of your whining, your broken english and the fact that you dismiss everyone who is trying to help you. That's why every time you post a message in this thread, I am going to reply with this:

I believe this belongs in this thread:

on point, I believe it's good to do the null checks only in the places where the parameters are used, so, for example, if a method simply passes a parameter to another method but doesn't use the value itself, no check is necassary.
But there are exceptions to this just like there are exceptions to everything else, for example, if you have a method designed to check parameters (doesn't use the values, just checks them and returns boolean).
If you have problems, FIRST TRY SOLVING THEM YOURSELF, and if you get errors, TRY TO ANALYZE THEM, and ONLY if you can't help it, THEN ask here.
Otherwise you will never learn anything if all you do is copy-paste!
Discussion breeds innovation.

1. saying same as Zoey, don't "dude me"
2. I am not "good", I am Divine.
3. you don't understand the whole way how developers work....

I am not gonna remove that null check from there, not because current l2j code can cause NPEs but because all the community is applying patches which are not codded that good and they can get into NPE wall of errors because of that simple NPE removed check.
It doesn't causes any performance affections with/without u won't notice anything even with 10k players.
jurchiks already explain u few pages back that this is one of most light-weight checks that can be made.
We got so many null checks all over the code should we spend our time to remove them?
NO i wouldn't do that i got better things to do instead of wasting my time to change things that wouldn't matters at all.
Topic is closed.

@jurchiks, @lord_rex, @Zoey76 open new topic if u gonna continue your talk.
