    I am trying to join two rigidbodies using different kinds of joints but none of them are working. I keep getting this warning:
    "PPtr cast failed when deferencing! Casting from Transform to Rigidbody!"
    I'm lost. Does anyone know what this means?

    That sounds like a semi-rare nasty internal Unity bug that is nothing to do with you or your fault. I would recommend sending in a small reproducible test case (or whatever you have if that's all that works) using the Report Bug.app located next to Unity.

    Cheers,

    Youve dragged an object onto the slot where the script is meant to go in the inspector, I think.
    I do it all the time

    Me too. Use the dropdown list instead of drag drop in this case.

    That's not to say it's not a Unity issue that should be fixed - it ought to be smart enough to set it to the rigidbody instead of the transform.

    It should be. This clearly looks like a bug to me. Have you filed a bug report on it?
