Question by rustymonkey · May 21, 2013 at 12:08 AM · buildplayernullreferenceexceptionstandalonefindgameobjectswithtag

Works in player but NullReferenceException in build.

I'm trying to "highlight" all parts of a model with a certain name. It works perfectly in player but in standalone build I get a NullReferenceException. Object reference not set to an instance of object. Dont understand why it would work in player but not the build. Any ideas? Thanks!

 GameObject[] partsList = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Part");
 foreach(GameObject part in partsList){
     if(part.name.Equals(guid)){
          part.transform.renderer.material.SetColor("_Color", Color.blue);
     }
 }

If no game objects have the "Part" tag then partsList will be null and cause the exception when you try to iterate in the foreach loop. Is it possible you're missing a scene in your build settings?

No, the scenes are included. I tried building with just this scene and receive the same problem. The only other scene is just a simple button pointing to this scene anyway.

I figured it out. I was using a try/catch block for MissingComponentException. I switched to a simple null test of the specific component and it worked. Still dont know why it was caught in player but not in build though.

Try to change the object name. Works for me.
