Question problem because of disabled object

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

This is happening because I leave the object disabled, and I want to activate it only when the player enters the room.

public class Salas : MonoBehaviour
{
private Inimigo inimigo; // object disabled

void Start()
{
inimigo = FindObjectOfType(typeof(Inimigo)) as Inimigo;
}

private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)
{

if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
{
CameraController.instance.SetPosition(new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y));
>>>> inimigo.ativar = true;

}
}

}

 

Hey,

If you want the object to start disabled, the best way to get a reference to it is before runtime. Here is an example:

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2.     [SerializeField] private Inimigo inimigo;
3. }

Drag the object into the field in the inspector, then you'll be able to reference it even though it starts disabled.

 

As @Unrighteouss said, you can use the SerializeField attribute, or make the variable public to show it in the inspector.

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField] Inimigo inimigo;
2.  
3. public inimigo inimio

Another note I thought I would mention is that in C# you can simply put "FindObjectOfType<Inimigo>;" instead of having to specify using the "as" keyword.
