I have 260 null-conditionals in our project :O Most of them are still valid however.

I'm sure fixing this is no easy feat, but this really bums me out. I've been using the null-conditional but didn't know it wasn't working since I was never testing anything that was let's call 'nullish'. Not supporting ?. and ?? is confusing since its part of the C# standard.

Side note: Why doesn't the Unity team have a way to get metrics on the features we want anymore? The feedback service is gone and we can't vote on issues that are not active. I'm sure this would have a lot more votes if we were allowed to vote on it.

This is still happening Unity 2019.3.0f6 (latest stable). I'm trying to shorten

if (pickSound != null) { pickSound.Play(); }

to

pickSound?.Play();

(where pickSound is an optional SerializeField AudioSource) and the latter version won't work.

Please change... we like C# standards

There is an inspection in JetBrains Rider and ReSharper which detects this and warn about it. It's a good idea to change the severity to Error.

Note that delegate function works, let's say we have a delegate "DoSomething", "DoSomething.?.Invoke()" works as expected.

This is caused by Unity's stupid decision to overload 'operator==' and use of fake null objects.

Because null coalescing operator and conditional member access does not call overloaded operator==, but does identity comparison instead, it simply does not work. (fake null object is not identical to null)

This is major pain in the ass for people using C# and learning Unity. You simply "check for null" by standard language construct and it backfires horribly.

Unity, for gods sake, just make a breaking change a remove this crap, sooner is better.
Together with implicit cast of Object to bool. This is one of few things which were common for C++, but shouldn't be done in C#.

Or at least add some option to Unity to never use FAKE NULL objects and always use classic null instead.

Issue still occurs in Unity 2018.1.6, except I'm getting a Null Reference Exception with the code ```sprite?.texture == null```
