Correction: it won't cause an error, but (still) return the last
cmdarg() property. This just won't be the listened-to property
anymore, but whatever the last legitimate cmdarg() user set. Most
of the time it will be the property root of a joystick binding.
So, don't make any assumptions and use cmdarg() only in one of
these cases:
binding: returns root of this binding's property branch. Needed
for accessing an axis' value:
cmdarg().getNode("setting").getValue()
dialog xml files: returns root of that file's property branch
in memory. This can be used to let embedded Nasal change
the dialog (e.g. clear and build lists) before the
final layout is decided
animation xml files: returns root of this model's place in
/ai/models/ when used as AI/MP model. Examples:
/ai/models/multiplayer[3], /ai/models/tanker[1], etc.
In all cases the cmdarg() call must not be delayed until later
using settimer() or setlistener(). Because later it'll again
return some unrelated property.
