Null object after Instantiation
Hello Everyone,
I am looking for someone that can explain why immediately after creating an instance of a script with passed in parameters it is immediately null. attached are images!][1] from debug that show the instance being created with the values passed and immediately after in the editor getting a null reference exception.
private void Awake()
{
//Assign defualt weapon
test = new Weapon(99, 5, .5f, 0, "M1911 Pistol");
}
Can you show me the script used for instantiating or you try to use "new Weapon" to create the new weapon?
Assuming that "Weapon" is of type "MonoBehaviour" then this is because you cannot create a MonoBehaviour using the new keyword.
To create a new instance of a MonoBehaviour type you need to either create a new game object and then use AddComponent() on it. Or use GameObject.Instantiate to create a new instance of a prefab.

HenryStrattonFTW, Thank you for your answer this was indeed the problem. I was unfamiliar with how to use the constructors for what would be a component and not a C# object. using the AddComponent() method worked.
Thank you
If the answer is correct, please mark it correct with the button next to it.
No worries ace, I remember having the same adjustments problems when I first started using Unity having never used the type of component approach it uses before.
Good luck with your project!
