I keep getting null reference

Here is my error:

can somebody please help me

 

On what line the error appears ?

 

lines 82 and 37

 

lines 82 and 37

 

Looks like

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Transform t_spawn = transform.Find("Cameras/playerCamera");
3.  

Is not finding any object with the name "Cameras/playerCamera"

Try "playerCamera" since i guess this is the name of a GameObject

Or better don't find objects by name.

And the most important, learn how to use debugger.

 

Can you try changing line 81 to the following, removing the "new" declaration:

RaycastHit t_hit;

May not be the issue but worth a try. I've never declared a raycasthit as new before and never had any issues with getting them to work.

Only other thing I could think it might be - are you sure the reference to t_spawn is getting set correctly beforehand?

 

thank you so much, that was the problem!

my camera is not Cameras it's just camera/playerCamera
simple mistake
