  When converting to a non-default unit type, this means you interpret the number as in the given units: "{{code language="xml"}}(1km + 500m)h{{/code}}" means that you interpret 1500m as 1500 hours, so the resulting value will be 1500x3600 seconds.

  If you look up a property that does not exist, there will be an error, and the result will be null. To test whether a property exists, you can append a question mark "?" to the lookup, which yields true or false:
--* {{code language="xml"}}$list.{5}{{/code}} ⟹ The fifth element of a list - however, if $list has less than 5 elements (and if it's also not a table with the key 5), there will be an error

++* {{code language="xml"}}$table.$key?{{/code}}⟹ Analogously, true if $table exists and has the string property '$key'
  The question mark can even be applied to variables:
--* {{code language="xml"}}$list{{/code}} ⟹ The value stored under the name $list, or an error if there is no such variable
--* {{code language="xml"}}$list?{{/code}} ⟹ true if the variable exists, false otherwise
++* {{code language="xml"}}$list{{/code}}⟹ The value stored under the name $list, or an error if there is no such variable
++* {{code language="xml"}}$list?{{/code}}⟹ true if the variable exists, false otherwise
  To look up the value of a property although it may not exist, you can use the at-sign "@" as prefix:
--* {{code language="xml"}}@$list.{5}{{/code}} ⟹ The result of the $list lookup if $list exists and has the property 5, otherwise null (without error message)
--* {{code language="xml"}}@$list{{/code}} ⟹ The list if this variable exists, null otherwise

  As you can see, an error is already prevented if any link in the property chain does not exist. But use the @ prefix with care, since error messages are really helpful for detecting problems in your scripts. The @ prefix only suppresses property-related error messages and does not change any in-game behaviour.
