Question by sdav · Mar 01, 2014 at 06:55 PM · instantiate nullreferenceexception

Naming an instantiated gameobject gives nullreferenceexception.

Hi, I'm probably missing something simple here but I have this code:

  GameObject gBeast;
     gBeast = Instantiate(objBeast, new Vector3(0,0,0),Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
     gBeast.name = "newname";

This is in the Start method of another game object.

When I try to name it I get a NullReferenceException. Can anyone help. Thanks

The code here looks fine. 'objBeast' should be a GameObject and the value should be non-null.

Try to add this code in the Awake and not Start method.

I think you have not assign objBeast . please check objBeast is Gameobject.
