              Object Reference not set to an instance of an object
I have been working on a multiplayer first person controller, but I keep getting the error "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object". I have checked the "isMine" with the debug.log and it seems to return a different value for each player. The problem occurs on line 108: if (nView.isMine) referring to
         void OnNetworkInstantiate(NetworkMessageInfo info) {
             NetworkView nView = GetComponent<NetworkView>();
             if (nView.isMine)
                 Debug.Log("New object instanted by me");
             else
                 Debug.Log("New object instantiated by " + info.sender);
         }
 
               the rest of the code is here:
