Are you asking for a way to set a methodmap to 0 without view_as? That should be easy, but it'd help to see a minimal example of what you're trying to do.

not set a methodmap but rather set an instance of one methodmap, inside a different methodmap, to 0

for instance...

PHP Code:

BaseBoss preselected;        /* The next player chosen as boss */

methodmap VSHGameMode        /* all game mode oriented code should be handled HERE ONLY */
{
    public VSHGameMode()
    {
        preselected = view_as<BaseBoss>(0);
    }
    public BaseBoss GetRandomBoss(const bool balive)
    {
        BaseBoss boss;
        for (int i=MaxClients ; i ; --i) {
            if (not IsValidClient(i) )
                continue;
            if (balive and not IsPlayerAlive(i))
                continue;
            boss = BaseBoss(i);
            if (not boss.bIsBoss)
                continue;
            else return boss;
        }
        return view_as<BaseBoss>(0);
    }
}

?

PHP Code:

enum BaseBoss
{
    Boss_Zero
}

BaseBoss preselected;        /* The next player chosen as boss */

methodmap VSHGameMode        /* all game mode oriented code should be handled HERE ONLY */
{
    public VSHGameMode()
    {
        preselected = Boss_Zero;
    }
    public BaseBoss GetRandomBoss(const bool balive)
    {
        BaseBoss boss;
        for (int i=MaxClients ; i ; --i) {
            if (not IsValidClient(i) )
                continue;
            if (balive and not IsPlayerAlive(i))
                continue;
            boss = BaseBoss(i);
            if (not boss.bIsBoss)
                continue;
            else return boss;
        }
        return Boss_Zero;
    }
}

BaseBoss is not an enum, it's a methodmap. Are you saying I need to make an enum everytime I require a null, non-Handle-based methodmap instance? Especially for methodmaps that aren't inheriting from another methodmap but needs to use data from them (other methodmaps).

Why not both?

PHP Code:

enum BothTest { Both_Zero }
methodmap BothTest
{
//...
}

because then I'd have to make an enum, just for zero, for all methodmaps.
which is not as efficient as me making a define for "view_as<any>(0)"

Having an equivalent constant to null for your custom methodmap makes complete sense.
It's invalid state is not the same as everything else's, and it doesn't make sense for 0 to mean invalid for everyone.

Eg: Dynamic's invalid is -1 as 0 is valid and is the server settings object.
