SendMessage causing error in standalone build

I get this error "
NullReferenceException

in the output log and the frame rate is very low. The main script check's the players distance to the object and sends messages to itself and possibly near or connected objects to let them know they should cease certain unnecessary functions for performance optimization.

I'm using Unity 3.4.2 btw.

 

Nevermind, I found out what was wrong.

 

It would be nice if you could provide a brief explanation of what was wrong, as it may be useful for other people reading this in the future.

 

Using SendMessageOptions.RequireReceiver was the solution. I like your avatar btw.
