UnassignedReferenceException: The variable cardAtlas of LoadCards has not been assigned.

What am I missing here, I think I have assigned the atlas:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5. using UnityEngine.U2D;
6.  
7. public class LoadCards : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.  
10.     private CardsAndConversions _cardConvert;
11.  
12.     public GameObject templateCard_GO;
13.     public Image templateCard;
14.  
15.     public SpriteAtlas cardAtlas;
16.     private SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
17.     private SpriteType cardSprite;
18.  
19.     // DEFINITION OF WHAT IS IN THE SPRITE ATLAS FOR CARDS
20.     enum SpriteType
21.     {
22.         BackSide1, BackSide2, BackSide3, BackSide4,
23.         CA, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, CJ, CQ, CK,
24.         DA, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, DJ, DQ, DK,
25.         SA, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, SJ, SQ, SK
26.     }
27.  
28.  
29.     void Start()
30.     {
31.  
32.         _cardConvert = FindObjectOfType(typeof(CardsAndConversions)) as CardsAndConversions;
33.         spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
34.         print(cardAtlas.name);
35.  
36.         LoadCardDeck();
37.     }
38.  
39.     void LoadCardDeck ()
40.     {
41.         float u = 0;
42.         foreach (string _name in CardsAndConversions.backFullCardDeck)
43.         {
44.             GameObject myCard = Instantiate(templateCard_GO) as GameObject;
45.             templateCard = myCard.GetComponent<Image>();
46.             spriteRenderer.sprite = cardAtlas.GetSprite("BackSide");
47.             templateCard.sprite = spriteRenderer.sprite;
48.             templateCard.rectTransform.SetParent(transform);
49.             templateCard.rectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(0f, u);
50.             templateCard.name = _name;
51.             u = u + 10f;
52.         }
53.     }
54. }

 

"There is no sprite renderer attached to the background game object" is not referring to the sprite atlas variable. Is that screenshot the correct error? If so, the issue is that your trying to get a sprite renderer where there isn't one.

 

ofc how could I miss that, thanks.

 

It happens to us all sometimes

Good luck!
