I am having problems with a door collider and a trigger.
using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;
public class DoorOpen : MonoBehaviour {
private Animator animator;
private bool doorOpen;
void start()
{
doorOpen = false;
animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Key"))
{
doorOpen = true;
Doors ("Open");
}
}
private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
if (doorOpen)
{
doorOpen = false;
Doors ("Close");
}
}
void Doors (string direction)
{
animator.SetTrigger(direction);
}
} this is my code and it is saying
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object DoorOpen.Doors (System.String direction) (at Assets/Animations/DoorOpen.cs:40) DoorOpen.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets/Animations/DoorOpen.cs:23)
The key has a tag called "Key" and the door has a collider that you need to bring the key to to open the door. Any ideas?

It is not clear from your question to which line of code this actually refers too. But if I grok this correctly, it looks like your Animator assignment isn't taking. Either make sure it's grabbing correctly, check it before you use it, or forgo the GetComponent and assign it in the inspector.
How would I execute that by checking if it is grabbing it correctly? Or how would I assign the item in the inspector? Do I use a public variable?
The preferred method is [SerializeField] private This will show them in the inspector but won't make it otherwise accessible.
