Third Party [HELP] Photon Pun 2 Hashtable Error

im following this series

and am currently on the last part of this vid, i get this weird error when it try to build and run in both unity and the app

Code (CSharp):

I guess the script is not on an object with PhotonView and pv is null.
If that's needed, make sure pv is available...

MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks register for callbacks in OnEnable. Your code finds the photonView in Start, which is later. Property updates may happen in-between (and fail).
The MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks have a photonView property, which provides the PhotonView anyways, so you actually don't need to find it (unless you look it up on another object).

NullreferenceExceptions are usually something you need to debug yourself. They are very specific to your project (in most cases), so there is rarely a lot of help available...

 

i put the get component functions in awake and it works now!

however, i get this error now

this is one full error message btw

 

This is odd.
Please try running one of our demos without modification. Does it happen, too?
If so, read this and mail us (with the appid and info described in the page) to: developer@photonengine.com.
