I am getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object when the player spawns.
When my player spawns it enables all the stuff that only the local client needs to use like the movement and shooting script. but then it gets a playerpref of if they wanted to equip the hat or not and if they do it sets it true locally but then it gives me the error on line 111 Object reference not set to an instance of an object. and it does not enable the hat for everyone. I am using photonnetwork but a solution using unity network i could turn into photon myself. please help!
Also its trying to find the GO hatcos witch is suppose to set itself to the child Hat of the instantiated game object.
Thank you in advance.

[PunRPC]
void HatEnable(){
GameObject HatCos = transform.FindChild ("Hat").gameObject;
HatCos.transform.FindChild ("Hat").gameObject.SetActive (true);
}
void Update (){
if (Input.GetKeyDown ("p")) {

}
}
}
Is there a hat child? And why do you seatch for a hat child in the hat child? This doesn't make sense to me.

you are using the NetworkManager transform.
void HatEnable(){
GameObject HatCos = myPlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("Hat").gameObject;
You need use the player transform
void HatEnable(GameObject myPlayerGO){
GameObject HatCos = myPlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("Hat").gameObject;
TY SO $$anonymous$$UCH! you are a life saver!
just dont forget to set the call HatEnable(); to HatEnable(myPlayerGO);

New problem. I need to know how to enable the hat for only the newest instantiated object not every player on the server.
