NullReferenceException in Ruby 2D Tutorial & Projectile won't move

I've had no problem following this Ruby2D tutorial up until the projectile lesson. This is the second time I've had an issue.

I am supposed to be making a cog wheel projectile launch, but I get two NullRefs that point to the same script. The tutorial said to change the name of the Start function to Awake, but it's still happening. The projectile does get instantiated, but just sits there immobile. Everything else works, so if an enemy touches the projectile it gets destroyed.

Please let me know if anything else is needed to clarify the issue.

 

Did you drag the object with the RigidBody2D into the inspector? When it's public you need to manually assign it in the Inspector.

**EDIT oh duh. Didn't even see you didn't make it public or private lol

 

void Awake function should read:

Code (csharp):

1.  void Awake()
2.  {
3.      rigidbody2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
4.  }

 

Awesome, I need to pay closer attention in the future.
