Object reference not set to an instance of an Object C#

Usually the error tells you exactly what line the problem is on. So without seeing the error itself, I'm guessing the GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag is failing to find the player, leaving target null. Add a Debug.Log or Debug.Assert to ensure the target actually exists.

 

It seems to indicate that it's on line 15, I'm not sure about that but it says this exactly: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object FollowAI.Update () (at Assets/FollowAI.cs:15) EDIT: I'm so dumb, the tag for the player was for some reason never set.

 

I'm having the same problem. I have an audio file and score display that was working before and not working now likely because it's saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I added some tags to my blocks to differentiate between Breakable and Unbreakable blocks. That works fine, and the breakable blocks even disappear as they're supposed to. But they're not making the destruction sound anymore and the blocks that are being destroyed aren't being counted. Here are the two files I'm using.

Blocks.cs - the issue is the method at the bottom called PlayBlockDestroySFX

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Block : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     [SerializeField] AudioClip breakSound;
8.     //[SerializeField] int hitPoints;
9.  
10.     //Cached Reference
11.     Level level;
12.  
13.     //State Variables
14.     //int timesHit;
15.  
16.  
17.     private void Start()
18.     {
19.         CountBlocks();  
20.     }
21.  
22.     private void CountBlocks()
23.     {
24.         level = FindObjectOfType<Level>();
25.         if (tag == "Breakable")
26.         {
27.             level.CountBreakableBlocks(); //call method in level script to count blocks
28.         }
29.     }
30.  
31.  
32.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
33.     {
34.         if (tag == "Breakable")
35.         {
36.             //timesHit++;
37.             DestroyBlock();
38.         }  
39.     }
40.  
41.     private void DestroyBlock()
42.     {
43.         Destroy (gameObject);
44.         PlayBlockDestroySFX();
45.         level.BlockDestroyed();
46.  
47.     }
48.  
49.     private void PlayBlockDestroySFX()
50.     {
51.         FindObjectOfType<GameStatus>().AddToScore();
52.         AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(breakSound, Camera.main.transform.position);
53.     }

GameStatus.cs

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using TMPro;
5.  
6. public class GameStatus : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     //Parameters
9.     [SerializeField] int pointsPerBlockDestroyed = 10;
10.     [SerializeField] TextMeshProUGUI scoreText;
11.  
12.     //State Variables
13.     [SerializeField] int currentScore = 0; //set initial score to 0
14.  
15.     private void Awake()
16.     {
17.         int gameStatusCount = FindObjectsOfType<GameStatus>().Length;
18.         if (gameStatusCount > 1)
19.         {
20.             Destroy(gameObject);
21.         }
22.         else
23.         {
24.             DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);  
25.         }  
26.     }
27.  
28.     // Use this for initialization
29.     void Start ()
30.     {
31.         scoreText.text = currentScore.ToString();
32.      
33.     }
34.  
35.     // Update is called once per frame
36.     void Update () {
37.      
38.     }
39.  
40.     public void AddToScore()
41.     {
42.         currentScore = currentScore + pointsPerBlockDestroyed;
43.         scoreText.text = currentScore.ToString();
44.  
45.     }
46.  
47.     public void ResetGame()
48.     {
49.         Destroy(gameObject);
50.  
51.     }
52. }

 

Nevermind, I figured out what the problem was because I have two scenes and I was wondering why it was working on one scene and not the other...so I realized it wasn't the code. Somehow GameStatus.cs got deleted in Scene 1 from the Hierarchy. Luckily, it was Prefab'd, so I was able to just drag it back over LOL

 

plzz!! tell me how to change script this problem of NULL Reference?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class enemyFollowscript : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     public float speed;
9.     private Transform Target;
10.  
11.  
12.  
13.     void start()
14.     {
15.         Target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
16.     }
17.  
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.         transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, Target.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
21.     }
22. }

it works if i change private transform to public.
but i need it in private

 

"start" needs a capitalized s, so it should be:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Start()
2.     {
3.         Target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
4.     }

 

Thanks!!!

anyone able to see what causing this error, and possibly how I can fix it? It's supposed to add 1 point to the playerScore when there is a collision; an enemy is hit by a shot.

 

Hello guys I'm having the same error in my test for input and color changes, here is my script :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;

3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class ObjectColor : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Color changedColor = Color.white;
8.     public Color originalColor = Color.black;
9.     Renderer rend;
10.    
11.     void Awake ()
12.     {
13.         originalColor = this.rend.material.color;
14.         Debug.Log ("color is: " + originalColor);
15.     }
16.    
17.     void Update ()
18.     {
19.         if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.G))
20.         {
21.             this.rend.material.color = changedColor;
22.

26.             this.rend.material.color = originalColor;
27.         }
28.     }
29. }
30.  

I don't see where this can come from :/
It says the error is on line 13

 

Any help would be grand.

In the future, please do not duplicate your posts. I already answered you at your other post. Also please don't hijack other people's thread unless you have the same and exact problem. Which you didn't. So opening your own thread and waiting on the answer is the right move.

Your main camera is probably either disabled, or not tagged "MainCamera".

 

Hi thanks for your guidance, thing resolved by Camera > Inspector > Tag > select “MainCamera”

 

I am new to Unity and was creating a hazard script, but it keeps on saying:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Hazard.SomethingIsTouching (UnityEngine.GameObject ThingColliding) (at Assets/Assets/Scripts/Hazard.cs:31)
Hazard.OnCollisionEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collision2D collision) (at Assets/Assets/Scripts/Hazard.cs:19)

My script is:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Hazard : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
private void SomethingIsTouching(GameObject ThingColliding)
{
if (ThingColliding.tag == "Player")
{
int lives = --FindObjectOfType<GameVars>().currentLives;
GameObject text = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("LivesText");
text.GetComponent<NumberText>().NumUpdate(lives);
Destroy(ThingColliding);
}
}


private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
SomethingIsTouching(collision.gameObject);
}

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
SomethingIsTouching(collision.gameObject);
}




}

 

Code (CSharp):

1.         HighScore = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("GameCoins").GetComponent<Text>();
2.  

For me it does not working.

my ui text is in the child of another gameobject.
i attached above script to another empty game manager and i try to reference that ui text but it does not show it in the inspector.
what is wrong? i am using unity 2019 version.
my ui text is child of a ui image which at the beginning of the game is inactive.
someone help me please.

Pls help me too reply me and i will send you my info about my unity project i have same error

 

Stop posting this comment on other threads. Make a new thread, describe your problem, post your code (with code tags), copy and paste the error message you're getting. Literally no one will help you when you make comment replies like this.

 

I finally solved:
I have 2 scripts: GameManager, Player. I need to call some method from GameManager in Player and vice versa.
GameManager is a GameObject that has GameManager script.
Player is prefab with Player script.
First EDIT Player tag to Player.
Note: Find("GameManager"), in Find or FindGameObjectWithTag we have to write exactly the same name of the gameobject that script is attached
in Player.cs:
GameManager gm ;
gm = GameObject.Find("GameManager").GetComponent<GameManager>();
//then do whatever you want with gm

in GameManager.cs:
Player player;
player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").GetComponent<Player>();

 

Do you find the answer? I have the same problem now

 

Make sure your main camera is tagged "Main"

 

Holy S*** that was long time ago. But yea it looks like it would've been because I didn't have the Camera tagged as "Main Camera"

 

hey i'm getting the same error, I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what i could do.
public class New : MonoBehaviour
{
public float[] distance = new float[14];
public float ShortestDistance = 9999;
public float CubeNumber = 3;
public float startTime;
public float checkDelay;
private Rigidbody rb;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
public int speed = 10;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
InvokeRepeating("FindDistances", startTime, checkDelay);
transform.LookAt(GameObject.Find($"Cube ({CubeNumber})").transform);
transform.position += transform.forward * 1f * Time.deltaTime;
Debug.Log($"Cube {CubeNumber} is the closest cube");
}
void FindDistances()
{
for (int i = 9; i < 13; i++)
{
distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, GameObject.Find($"Cube ({i})").transform.position);
Debug.Log("cube " + i + "has distance of " + distance);
}
for (int i = 9; i < 13; i++)
{
if (distance < ShortestDistance)
{
ShortestDistance = distance;
CubeNumber = i;
Debug.Log("CUBE " + i + "IS THE CLOSEST CUBE");
Debug.Log("the shortest distance is " + ShortestDistance);
}
}

Debug.Log("the shortest distance is " + ShortestDistance);
Debug.Log($"Cube {CubeNumber} is the closest cube");
}
}

 

Its impossible to tell from that code. There is a lot of places it could be happening.
NullReferenceException is probably the most common error you will encounter in Unity development so it will be good practice to figure out a process that works well for you.

A process you could to take is:
1. Find which line is causing the null error.
2. find out which object is null in that line - you can do this in a couple of ways but the simplistic is to log our all the objects in that line. don't worry about structs as they can never be null. e.g `Debug.Log($is this null: {myObject == null})`
3. Then find out why its null. There could be many reasons for it...

I would start with the GameObject.Find() instances as GameObject.Find() may not be finding the object in your scene.

On a side note. Don't call `InvokeRepeating` in the update function. For one, the function your are wanting to invoke is not returning an IEnumerator. And two its redundant because you are calling every frame rather than the delay time you are supplying. Call it from Start().

 

Hello, I also have problems on line 26. Anybody help me?

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Game.Update () (at Assets/Game.cs:26)


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Game : MonoBehaviour
{

public Text scoreText;
public float currentScore;
public float hitPower;
public float scoreIncreasedPerSecond;
public float x;

public int shop1prize;
public Text shop1text;

public int shop2prize;
public Text shop2text;

public Text amount1text;
public int amount1;
public float amount1profit;

public Text amount2text;
public int amount2; <This one
public float amount2profit;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
currentScore = 0;
hitPower = 1;
scoreIncreasedPerSecond = 1;
x = 0f;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
scoreText.text = (int)currentScore+" $";
scoreIncreasedPerSecond = x * Time.deltaTime;
currentScore = currentScore + scoreIncreasedPerSecond;

shop1text.text = "Niewolnik Krzysiu: "+shop1prize+" $";
shop2text.text = "Niewolnik Bob: "+shop2prize+" $";

amount1text.text = "Niewolnik Krzysiu: "+amount1+" arts $"+amount1profit+"/s";
amount2text.text = "Niewolnik Bob: "+amount2+" arts $"+amount2profit+"/s";


}

public void Hit()
{
currentScore += hitPower;
}
}

 

Int's can't be null, so there must be something else going on. Perhaps you have 2 different scripts called "Game"? Post the script using code tags.

 

I'm having this problem with an InputField script.
Here's the code:
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class LevelSelect : MonoBehaviour
{

public string cool;
public GameObject input;

public void LoadScene()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(cool);
}

public void StoreName()
{
cool = input.GetComponent<InputField>().text;
LoadScene();
}
}

 

Don't tack a comment onto an old post just because it came up in your Google search. Post a new thread, and put your code in code tags. Also copy and paste the full error message.

And if you DO reply to an old thread, read the thread at least. Your problem is gonna be the same as everyone else's: you haven't assigned anything to "input" or it doesn't have an InputField component attached.

 

HEY, i have the same problem and solve it. check if you put the tag of your camera to main camera.

 

whats the value of your speed?

 

same deal. trying to get a light to toggle on off for DAYS now. reference null exception error.

using EXACT copy pasted code from the unity tutorial found here (and dozens of different ones)

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/enabling-and-disabling-components

WORKS if I start a new project (in HDRP) no problem.
does NOT work in my current project (converted from 3D to HDRP, if that matters??)

WHAT is going on? there is NOTHING wrong here. same EXACT procedure across both old and new projects, but simply does not work. What could be the problem? Honestly, is this a bug or not.

 

Did you add the script to the exact same game object as the light?

 

I'm having the exact problem on the GetComponent()<> script

 

Which line are you getting this error on?

I can only assume that it is on line 57,58 or 59. If so, check that the object you attached Door_Script also has a "GeneratorCastTrigger", a "GeneratorCastTrigger1", and a "GeneratorCastTrigger2" on the same object.

Also consider refactoring these classes into one class.

 

I changed it a bit but its on line 51 now and they're actually in different objects tho like your suppose to activate 3 different generator

Srry I didn't reply

 

Some notes on how to fix a NullReferenceException in Unity3D (also Unassigned Reference errors):

http://plbm.com/?p=221

This is like the simplest error. Stop and read the above steps, PUSH THROUGH IT! It's like forgetting to put a dot over your i or a cross over your t. It's that simple 99.9% of the time.

 

also the message isn't displaying in the Visual Studio Script its showing when I start the project/ go into play mode

 

You are getting this null reference exception because either

"GeneratorObject3", "GeneratorObjectll" or "GeneratorObject" have not been assigned to in the inspector (did you forget to drag and drop the generator objects onto your door script?)

or

"GeneratorObject" Doesn't have a "GeneratorCastTrigger" component or
"GeneratorObjectll" Doesn't have a "GeneratorCastTrigger1" componet or
"GeneratorObject3" Doesn't have a "GeneratorCastTrigger2" component.

Add Debug.Log statements everywhere to find out which of these is the cause.

 

k I will

 

so I have changed it again and VarAdd isn't working it's not showing the 2nd Debug.Log() and neither is the third Debug.Log()

 

Ok, That means that the nullreference is on line 46, 47 or 48

Check the log right after your "GeneratorCastTrigger is working correctly" message is printed. It should have a nullreference error, which will tell you which line (and thus which generatorcasttrigger) is problematic.

 

So I tried deleting line VarAdd then there was an Error on VarAdd2 and then deleted that same thing happened with VarAdd3 :/

 

k now for some reason Debug.Log("the variable VarAdd") is working but line 52-53-54 still has error... help

 

If you are getting a nullreference on each of those VarAdd lines, that tells you that your generatorcasttrigger/1/2 variables are null.

GetComponent() will return null if there is no component of that type attached.

Therefore, it appears that you have not attached your GeneratorCastTrigger/1/2 component to your GeneratorObject/11/3 objects.

Double check that the objects the field "GeneratorObject/11/3" are referencing have a generatorcasttrigger/1/2 component attached to them.
