Not sure why an error occure when an object IS assigned.

What I've got is an object that the player can destroy which deactivates itself & enemies in that area.

It's strange getting an error once the object is deactivated since the particleFX being used self destructs. In theory, everything is cleaned up.

I can't figure out why this is happening when the particle is assigned in the inspector.

Here's the code used:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if (other.gameObject.CompareTag ("fireBall"))
2.         {
3.             ///deactivates parent spawner at zero
4.             if (nmeSpawnerHP > 1)
5.             {
6.                 AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(sfxHitBaseCamp, transform.position, sfxVolume);
7.                 nmeSpawnerHP = nmeSpawnerHP - fireBallDamage;
8.                 Instantiate(hitPrtclFX,transform.position,transform.rotation);
9.             }
10.             else
11.             {
12.                 AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(sfxBaseCampXplode, transform.position, sfxVolume);
13.                 Instantiate(smokeFX,transform.position,transform.rotation);
14.                 nmeSpawner.SetActive(false);
15.                 playerBlock.SetActive(false);
16.                 Instantiate(nmeSpawnerRubble,transform.position,transform.rotation);
17.             }
18.         }

Ideas are welcome.

Thank you...

 

Does it stay assigned when you hit play? Any chance it points to a scene object, rather than a project prefab? AnDoes turning off the autodestruction clear the error?

 

Yeah, it stays assigned- I see the particles when it gets hit. It does point to a prefab & not a scene object.

I need it to Autodestruct otherwise it'll keep on firing- though just for test purposes, I turned it off & the same problem.
