How to check for an invalid (Form <None>) form in an array?

[PJMail]

I have an array for an NPC's inventory (Form[] InvItems).

If one of the pieces recorded in it is invalidated (because the mod it is defined in is removed) that element returns a value of "Form <None>".

This does NOT == None. How can I test for it so I don't get errors when trying to use it?

 

Formlists seem to work with element == None, but not elements in arrays (in a Script) it seems.

 

Thanks

What will be the result of

Form testing = InvItems[i] as Form

in case of invalid Form?

Thats what I already do. I am testing against "testing", not "InvItems".

 

I have tried "Game.getform(0x0)" and "Form[] inv=new form[1]" (and compared to inv[0]). All just display and compare as "None" rather than "Form <None>"

My only option at this point is the "!(testing is Weapon)" etc for every valid form type I expect.

 

I am doing an "equipItem" so apart from Weapon and Armor, are there any other form types you can 'equip'?

 

Update: Looks like only those 2...

I'm wondering is GetFormID returns non-zero value for such invalid forms?

Potions are consumed by equipping.

True, but then they are gone (they don't stay equipped). This was for my Mannequin mod so I was only re-equipping weapon and Armor.
