Question by Mz3D · Jul 16, 2012 at 10:58 PM · referencenullexception

Null reference Exception - but it's all there

I reordered prefabs, sounds, materials and everything else in my game project folder, using unity (i've not done this using windows explorer). Now i keep getting the "Null reference exception" error even if every game object is correctly linked to every referenced prefab or sound or anything else. I tried evrything, rename scripts, rename prefabs, relink evrything, but nothing works. What can i do?

What is the Null reference co$$anonymous$$g from (code?) are you using Resources.Load? or GameObject.Find()?

It comes from a GameObject.Find() in a script! What can i do?

Have the GameObjects been placed in your scene? Or are you using scripts to load the objects prior to calling GameObject.Find() ?

I recently tackled something similar and this may be your problem.

GameObject.Find('objectName') -- Will only find GameObjects that you have created in your scene or dragged from your prefabs into your scene.

Resources.Load('prefab') -- Will Load a prefab from your resources folder in your prefab section, if this does not exist you simply need to create a new folder named resources and move the prefab in to this folder. After loading the prefab you can then Instantiate the GameObject 'prefab' from which you have loaded.

You can now use GameObject.Find('prefab') now that the GameObject has been loaded.
