    so im making a small co-op game as a break from my main project and im a weird error that makes no sense

    here's my code for reference

    Code (CSharp):
    1.    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    2.     public Animator anim;
    3.  
    4.     public float movespeed;
    5.     public float jumpforce;
    6.  
    7.     public KeyCode jump;
    8.     public KeyCode right;
    9.     public KeyCode left;
    10.     public KeyCode shoot;
    11.  
    12.     public Transform groundcheckpoint;
    13.  
    14.     public bool isgrounded;
    15.     public float groundcheckradius;
    16.     public LayerMask whatisjumpable;
    17.  
    18.     // Start is called before the first frame update
    19.     private void Start()
    20.     {
    21.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    22.         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
    23.     }
    24.  
    25.     // Update is called once per frame
    26.     private void Update()
    27.     {
    28.         isgrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundcheckpoint.position, groundcheckradius, whatisjumpable);
    29.  
    30.         if (Input.GetKey(left))
    31.         {
    32.             rb.velocity = new Vector2(-movespeed, rb.velocity.y);
    33.         }else if (Input.GetKey(right))
    34.         {
    35.             rb.velocity = new Vector2(movespeed, rb.velocity.y);
    36.         }
    37.         else
    38.         {
    39.             rb.velocity = new Vector2(0, rb.velocity.y);
    40.         }
    41.  
    42.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(jump) && isgrounded)
    43.         {
    44.             isgrounded = false;
    45.             rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpforce);
    46.         }
    47.  
    48.  
    49.         anim.SetFloat("speed", rb.velocity.x);
    50.         anim.SetBool("grounded", isgrounded);
    and then the error is this

    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    UnityEditor.Graphs.Edge.WakeUp () (at /Users/bokken/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Graphs/UnityEditor.Graphs/Edge.cs:114)

    what the actual hell does this error mean thank you for reading

    It's a bog-standard Null reference error, but the error doesn't look to actually be at all related to the script you posted, but something to do with a UnityEditor.Graphs script.

    stupid question, but have all your public variables been assigned something?

    That doesn't happen in your code, and looks like Graph editor glitched out.

    Does this persist if you restart the editor?

    This isn't a post for the general discussion forum, it's a post for the scripting or visual scripting forums.

    I'll move it to the visual scripting forum for now.

    Yes, could well have been some bug in Visual Scripting here.
