Third Person controlle not nitializing

Ahoy, I am a little bit frustrated, I think I dotted the is and crossed the ts. But evidently I was wrong, as for some reason, ThirdPersonController refuses to initialize which is breaking one of my scripts. It was working perfectly fine until I was rebuilding my player character (new character model) and now it won't initialize. Using the exact same scripts, (I checked) and for some reason it refuses to initialize.

Code (csharp):

1. public class AnimationControl : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public Animator anim;
3.     public ThirdPersonController cont;
4.     public weaponattack attacker;
5.     public float attackTimer = 0;
6.  
7.  
8.     void Start () {
9.         anim = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
10.                  //This is where the error is thrown.
11.         cont = gameObject.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>();
12.         attacker = gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<weaponattack>();
13.     }
14.    
15.  
16.     void FixedUpdate () {
17.  
18.         bool move = cont.IsMoving();
19.         var movespeed = cont.GetSpeed();
20.         if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)  anim.GetFloat ("Attack") == 0  attackTimer == 0)
21.         {
22.             attackTimer = 1;
23.             anim.SetFloat("Attack", 1);
24.  
25.         }
26.         else if (anim.GetFloat ("Attack") == 1)
27.         {
28.             StartCoroutine(animWait());
29.         }
30.         if (attackTimer == 1)
31.         {
32.             StartCoroutine(attackWait());  
33.         }
34.  
35.         if(move  movespeed <  5)
36.             anim.SetFloat("Speed", 1);
37.         else if(move  movespeed >  5)
38.             anim.SetFloat("Speed", 2);
39.         else
40.             anim.SetFloat("Speed", 0);
41.     }

Theres more but it is just functions, this is where the "problem" is allegedly... It is the same as it was, I would include a picture of the character very clearly having a third person controller attached to him, but you can just take my word that he definitely has one. This code worked until I made a new player character. the old one is gone, so there is no conflict.

 

what is the error?

do you have an animator component setup on the character?

 

ObjectRefrence not set to an instance of an object

And yes, the animator component works fine, he is defaulting to his idle animation quite nicely.

The issue is, allegedly, that he doesnt have a ThirdPersonController attatched to the object... but there is

 

Fixed the problem, at some point during the project I downloaded a c# version of the thirdpersoncontroller, and accidently put it in the folder with my assets. I was applying the JS script onto the model, but my c# code was defaulting to calling the unused C# script, which wasn't on the character. So, even though I had a thirdpersoncontroller, it wasn't the thirdpersoncontroller that the game was looking for.
