Need A Little Help

Hello im not sure if i put this in the correct area or not if so im sorry.... im still relatively new to unity and ive came across an error i can quiet figure out if my life depends on it any help is appertiated..



and this is the code that seem to be affected by it:

Code (JavaScript):

1. var speed = 3.0;
2. var rotateSpeed = 3.0;
3. var bullitPrefab:Transform;
4.  
5. function Update ()
6. {
7.     var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
8.    
9.     //Rotate around y - axis
10.     transform.Rotate(0,Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
11.    
12.     //Move forward / Backward
13.     var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
14.     var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
15.     controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);
16.    
17.     if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
18.     {
19.         var bullit = Instantiate(bullitPrefab, GameObject.Find("SpawnPoint").transform.postion, Quaternion.identity);
20.     }
21.    
22. }
23.  
24.  

thanks in advance kurzly...

 

welcome kurzly. not to be rude but have you tried googling the error.
you will find out you are making a null reference. which means you are pointing to something that is null.
this happens in your case in this line:

Code (CSharp):

1.  var bullit = Instantiate(bullitPrefab, GameObject.Find("SpawnPoint").transform.postion, Quaternion.identity);

which mean that: or your bullitPrefab is empty or the GameObject.Find("SpawnPoint") doesn't find it's object.

 

yeah ive tried googling here left and right i just cant seem to see wats missing? would it help if i pose my hierachy plane?

 

Null reference means that a gameObject you are referencing is empty. In this case it seems to be the bullitPrefab. Out of experience I know that Google is your friend with this error.

 

i don't get what your getting at exactly ive added the object in just doesn't seem to be registering anymore tips?

 

In your screenshot 'spawnPoint' looks to have a lowercase S, while your searching for 'SpawnPoint' with a capital, so can't find it.

 

yeah sorry i meant to fix that but still the same issue really check spelling on both ends and still nothing

fixed that already rechecked and still the same error

 

transform.postion is not correct in the Instantiate

 

care to correct me then?

 

It's not spelt correctly.

A tip for future reference, use:

Code (csharp):

1. #pragma strict

at the top of any JS scripts you write. It'll give you better compiler errors for spotting this kind of thing

 

thank you so much lolz ive just been over looking this waaaay to much thanks for the help all sorry to seem like a dummy here ><
