Question Animator component detaches itself from script at runtime

Tho only references I have to the animator are:

Code (CSharp):

1. public Animator animator;
2.  
3.  
4. animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
5.  
6. animator.SetBool("isIdle", true);
7.  

Why is this happening?

 

You haven't shared any context around the code you shared, but I'd guess you're probably running

Code (CSharp):

1. animator = GetComponent<Animator>();

in Start()? If you don't have an Animator on the same GameObject as this script, that code will set the Animator to null. Based on your screenshot, the Animator is on a different object (PlayerModel) so this seems to fit the bill. Since you've already assigned the Animator in the Inspector, there's actually no need to try to assign it again in code, so I would just remove that line of code if I were you.

 

Yep that was it, Thanks alot!
