Question by cristea13 · Aug 28, 2020 at 09:28 PM · error messageexceptionunassiunassignedreferenceexception

UnassignedReferenceException

I have a bomb explosion script where i press space to make a bomb explode.

@Llama_w_2Ls yeah sure

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class BombScript : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float fieldofImpact;
     public float force;
 
     public LayerMask LayerToHit;
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
 
                 if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
         {
             Debug.Log("Test");
             explode();
         }
     }
 
     void explode()
     {
         Collider2D[] objects = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(transform.position, fieldofImpact, LayerToHit);
 
         foreach(Collider2D obj in objects)
         {
             Vector2 direction = obj.transform.position - transform.position;
             obj.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce(direction * force);
         }
     }
 
     private void OnDrawGizmosSelected()
     {
         Gizmos.color = Color.red;
         Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(transform.position, fieldofImpact);
     }
 }
 


 
 

When i press space i get the "Test" message in console along with: UnassignedReferenceException: The variable explosion of ExplodeBomb has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the explosion variable of the ExplodeBomb script in the inspector.

The script is assigned only to the bomb object. If i execute the explode function in void update with no condition before, it works, in the way that it continuously explodes, of course.

Tried using both Unity 2019 & 2020.

Could you post the entire bomb script, including all the public variables

You haven't provided the correct script.... The one throwing the error is ExplodeBomb not BombScript

@Hellium you are right, i got the scripts messed up. I removed "Explode Bomb" and left only "BombScript" and i no longer get the UnassignedReferenceException but i get the same behaviour: explode(); works in void update, does not work on button or mouse press.
