FPS Tutorial part 2 - please help
I'm following the FPS tut, and i have a problem: when i shoot my rocket launcher, the rocket is supposed to explode when it hits something. instead, it just bounces off and flies around for 2-4 seconds before disappearing. there's also an error that says
NullReferenceException: The prefab you want to instantiate is null. UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate (UnityEngine.Object original, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation) Rocket.OnCollisionEnter (UnityEngine.Collision collision) (at Assets\WeaponScripts\Rocket.js:18)
this is the Rocket.js Script:
// The reference to the explosion prefab var explosion : GameObject; var timeOut = 3.0;
// Kill the rocket after a while automatically function Start () { Invoke("Kill", timeOut); }
function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision) { // Instantiate explosion at the impact point and rotate the explosion // so that the y-axis faces along the surface normal var contact : ContactPoint = collision.contacts[0]; var rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, contact.normal); Instantiate (explosion, contact.point, rotation); // And kill our selves Kill ();
}
function Kill () { // Stop emitting particles in any children var emitter : ParticleEmitter= GetComponentInChildren(ParticleEmitter); if (emitter) emitter.emit = false;
// Detach children - We do this to detach the trail rendererer which should be set up to auto destruct
transform.DetachChildren();
// Destroy the projectile
Destroy(gameObject);
}
@script RequireComponent (Rigidbody)
have you assigned the explosion GameObject by dragging it on to the exposed var slot in the inspector?
yes, i even tried different explosion prefabs. the error is still there and it stll doesent work
when you click the rocket prefab in your project folder in the rocket script make sure that the explosion var is set to something......... there should be a explosion prefab in your standard assets drag this prefab into the empty var slot.....
i did that, even trying different explosion prefabs. the error is still there and it stll doesent work
hhhhhmmmmmmm i would try just comparing the finished version and the one you working on..... cuz theres got to be a problem somewhere ;)
