Some functions may fail (e.g. adding particle streams when particles are disabled) and return a userdata containing a NULL pointer.
Since the userdata is opaque, there is no way to know that the function failed from a calling script.
This PR prevents returning such userdata and returns nil instead so that scripts can handle the failure gracefully.
