After a restart, unity throws the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

I'm trying to search for objects by tag and check the topmost parent object. The script is working, but it works until I close unity , then you can create a new script , exactly the same.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Shoting : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     // Start is called before the first frame update
8.     private GameObject[] objs;
9.     private GameObject gun;
10.     private Animator anim;
11.     public GameObject bullet;
12.     public Transform firepoint;
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.         objs = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Weapon");
16.          foreach (GameObject guns in objs)
17.          {
18.              if(guns.transform.root.name == "Hero")
19.              {
20.                  gun = guns;
21.              }
22.          }
23.  
24.         anim = gun.transform.GetComponent<Animator>();
25.     }
26.  
27.     // Update is called once per frame
28.     void Update()
29.     {
30.         if (Input.GetButtonDown(("Fire1")))
31.         {
32.             shoot();
33.             anim.SetTrigger("SH");
34.         }
35.     }
36.     void shoot()
37.     {
38.         Instantiate(bullet, firepoint.position, firepoint.rotation);
39.        
40.     }
41. }

 

I guess this must be a bug if there are no errors. Try reporting the problem in your editor from Help>Report a Bug
(I may be wrong)

 

As far as I understand, the problem is that Unity is not able to find an animator for an object found by name or tag after restarting unity

 

OK, void Awake () instead of void Start() solves my problem.

 

So, case closed?

 

Hm, i think so
