Question by Dylanpolis · Dec 03, 2016 at 10:12 AM · javascript scripting problem

I am trying to enable multiple scripts from different objects that have the same tag by using javascript. I keep getting a NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object LightPickup.js:37. What am i doing wrong?

 var varGameObject = gameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Flashlight");

           if(Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
     {
         for (var obj : GameObject in varGameObject) {
         obj.GetComponent.<FlashLight1>().enabled = true;
                     obj.GetComponent.<FlashLight2>().enabled = true;
          }

in your case, every gameobject with the Tag "Flashlight" must have both scripts, FlashLight1 and FlashLight2. If not that's why you're getting these errors. It's just a few lines so you should be able to debug it with either break points or putting Debug.Log into the loop to see which it failed last on.
