Problem with negative Status Values

I am using this function to get a combatant's status value. Seems to be working ok with positive values but fails with negative ones.
Is it a problem to use negative status values or did I do something wrong in the code? 
public static int GetCombatantStatusValue(GameObject item, string _guid)
        {
            if (ORKComponentHelper.GetCombatant(item) != null)
            {
                Combatant combatant = ORKComponentHelper.GetCombatant(item);
                Debug.Log("GetCombatantStatusValue for " + item.name + "succeeded and gave " + combatant.Status[ORK.StatusValues.GUIDToIndex(_guid)].GetValue() );
                return combatant.Status[ORK.StatusValues.GUIDToIndex(_guid)].GetValue();
            }
            Debug.Log("GetCombatantStatusValue for " + item.name + "failed ");
            return 0;
        }

    What do you mean it fails - does it cause a bug or just return 0?
    Generally, status values can be negative, if they're set up to allow that by their min/max value settings. The default setup for status is in the positive value range, though.

    Seems like it fails since it does not generate any debug log (not even Debug.Log("GetCombatantStatusValue for " + item.name + "failed ")

    Sounds more like this isn't called at all - where is the function called from?
    If the function failed in any way, it'd cause an error message in the Unity console.

    Took me a while to figure it out but the issue was that the combatant was null at Start().
    I had to delay by one frame ORKComponentHelper.GetCombatant(this.gameObject) and now it works.
    Still trying to understand where that delay is coming from.
    Thank you for the help Nicholas :)
