playerPawn vs playerPawn.Value, etc

[WeirdPhrog]

What's the difference between playerPawn and playerPawn.Value? weapon and weapon.Value? etc. What should I work with and when? What should I check for null and IsValid? Where can I read about this?

[Yarukon]

1. e.g. playerPawn is the handler of the entity, playerPawn.Value is the actual entity
2. playerPawn.Value after check valid
3. whenever you wanna change value or use function on the entity, check with != null && IsValid (not 100% accurate)
4. docs.cssharp.dev

Should I also check handler of the entity for valid?

[roflmuffin]

When you access .Value or .Get() on a handle, it will return null if its invalid, so you only need to check for null after accessing the value.
