Cannot Read Properties of Null - The Questioner Glitch Explained

Bugs
22

By putting a link on the text but not putting anything in the box for what link and it still makes the text blue like this

23

also just for pure knowledge of GKC Glitches.

Just did some digging in Gimkit’s code, since I have nothing better to do, and I can explain exactly what’s happening here at some detail.

When the questioner is set to the nonexistent kit, it loads that kit and saves it for later. However, instead of saving a kit, it saves a 404 page, since the kit doesn’t exist. This means that when the questioner is configuring itself when being opened, it can’t find the id of the questions, since it’s searching a 404 page for that data.

It says that it can't read properties of null (reading '_id') because it is quite literally trying to find:
data._id
but data is a null datatype (it doesn’t have any value), therefore it can’t have any properties like _id, and so gimkit throws an error.

I really hope I got all that correct haha

yeah, exactly.

in a nutshell, there’s a missing check somewhere.
because it deactivates if the kit is invalid, yet here it’s active, it assumes the kit must exist and doesn’t bother checking, but then it turns out that the kit actually is invalid, and it’s just like, “shoot, i did an oopsie, and i’m too lazy to render it visually so i’ll just show a crash report”

skill.

you have to wait until after posting the guide to do it, so i just put a blank links until i do post it, which is done like this:
[this is text](https://linkgoeshere)
this is text

then after posting the guide, if you hover beside a heading, you’ll see this:
Screenshot 2024-01-30 9.00.14 PM
if you right click on that and click “copy link address”, you’ll now have copied a link that takes you down to that section. then just replace the link for it in the table of contents, and do this for each section. boom.

There is no reason it shouldn’t.

In the “Ghost error message” part, you mentioned that you can move around and interact with stuff. Can you interact with anything in game?

I remember testing this a little while ago, you can still see notifications be sent and you can still be knocked out.
