Question How to handle unused references in various scripts.

Hi all,

So for me, new Unity user, started working on my first game. Also first post here .

I have a scene with a gamemanager script. This script has a few Public or SerializedFields and references to other scripts in it. This is for scene X.

For scene Y I need just a few of these GameManager fields, for the unused fields I do not have the actual gameobjects. When I start scene Y, I get the error: "UnassignedReferenceException: The variable player of GameManager has not been assigned."

I get the error because the references to these fields are not in my scene Y as they are in scene X.
So short question... how do I handle unused references in various scenes?

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

 

Two options:

A: Write a different game manager that only cares about the smaller scope in this scene.

B: If all these unassigned fields are Unity objects, simply null check them (

if (someObject == null)

), and if not present, don't do the thing you normally do if they were present.
