Use of unassigned local variable `closest'
I am using this code in C# to determine the closest object to my pathfinding enemy with the tag "Player"
GameObject FindClosestEnemy()
{
GameObject[] gos;
gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player");
GameObject closest;
float distance = Mathf.Infinity;
Vector3 position = transform.position;
foreach (GameObject go in gos) {
Vector3 diff = go.transform.position - position;
float curDistance = diff.sqrMagnitude;
if (curDistance < distance) {
closest = go;
distance = curDistance;
}
}
return closest;
}
I am getting this error Assets/SimplePath/Examples/Code/Interaction_Chase.cs(62,16): error CS0165: Use of unassigned local variable `closest'

Set it to null, such that it has the possibility of returning null.
Thanks! Have been scratching my brain about this one! So simple...
