Refrencing components: What am I doing wrong here? (probably simple)
}if(pet2.length > 0 && pet2!=null) { var closestpet2 = pet2[0]; var dist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, pet2[0].transform.position);
for(var i=0; i < pet2.Length; i++) {
var tempDist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, pet2[i].transform.position);
if(tempDist < dist) {
closestpet2 = pet2[i];
}}
}if (closestpet2!=null && Vector3.Distance(closestpet2.transform.position, transform.position ) <=5 )
if(held01)
if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(1))
if (closestpet2.GetComponent(Follow).equip03== false){
transform.parent = closestpet2.GetComponent("petmouth2").transform;
transform.position = closestpet2.GetComponent("petmouth2").transform.position;
closestpet2.GetComponent(Follow).equip03=true;
held01=false;
held03 = true;
on the transform parent = etc & transform.positon = etc, the editor keeps giving me errors about how it's a null reference exception. I'm trying to equip items the player is holding to the 'closestpet2's mouth by mouseclick. Thanks for any help
If you're getting null reference exceptions it means you don't have a component called "petmouth2" on closestpet2. Are you sure you have a script that is called exactly "petmouth2"? Are you sure you aren't looking for a child instead of a component? You can use Find to find a child if that's what you're looking for, since it makes no sense to get the transform of a component of an object because it would be the same transform as closestpet2.transform.
How would I write that? The pets mouth is an empty game object child positioned at the mouth of the character. THis is the script is on the item itself
transform.parent = transform.Find("closestpet2/petmouth2"); transform.position = transform.Find("closestpet2/petmouth2").position;
I tried this with the link but it's still not going- what am I missing?
try closestpet2.transform.Find("petmouth2"). Are you really sure this is where the program crashes?
This is the case in C# and i dont see why it wouldnt be in Java but with the statement:
if(pet2.length > 0 && pet2!=null)
the if statement checks pet2.length > 0 first and if pet2 IS null then a null reference will get thrown.
For it's 'petmouth' gameobject? When I start the player atleast 2 pet2s are active. I am using Java
What he means is you're checking pet2 for null in wrong order. Paul means that you should write if (pet2 != null && pet2.length > 0) since otherwise you can get a null reference exception when doing pet2.length.
