UnassignedReferenceException: The variable m_PlayerPrefab of LobbyManager has not been assigned.

Hi everyone,

I override OnServerAddPlayer method in LobbyManager class. But unfortunately it gives me an error in the inspector : UnassignedReferenceException: The variable m_PlayerPrefab of LobbyManager has not been assigned.

I use 5.6.2.f1 and Network Lobby 1.7 (the latest).

My player prefab is already assigned. Do you have any idea about how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

THE CODE in LobbyManager.cs

public override void OnServerAddPlayer(NetworkConnection conn, short playerControllerId)
{
var spawnPosition = Vector3.right * conn.connectionId;
var player = GameObject.Instantiate(playerPrefab, spawnPosition, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
NetworkServer.AddPlayerForConnection(conn, player, playerControllerId);

#if UNITY_5_1 || UNITY_5_2
// The new connection isn't active yet so check against 0 connections to determine if the server just started and objects can spawn.
if (NetworkServer.connections.Count == 0) {
EventHandler.ExecuteEvent("OnNetworkAddFirstPlayer");
}
#else
if (NetworkServer.connections.Count == 1) {
EventHandler.ExecuteEvent("OnNetworkAddFirstPlayer");
}
#endif

THE ERROR i see in inspector

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable m_PlayerPrefab of LobbyManager has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the m_PlayerPrefab variable of the LobbyManager script in the inspector.

You're missing Player prefab attached to your custom LobbyManager in the inspector. You need to either specify it manually or change playerPrefab variable via code.

 

No, it's already assigned in the inspector as i said in my previous message.

 

the same issue here....have you found a solution?

 

I created a new public variable for player prefab and used it.
