Reference an instantiated UI publically
I am trying to create a healthbar UI using a slider, I want it to Instantiate above an enemy and I want the enemy script to reference that instance so that I can update its transform, I want to instantiate it in the start method and then update it's script in the update method.
public Slider healthbar // prefab
public Slider newHealthBar // I want to assign the instantiated one to this so that I can update it
void Start() {
newHealthBar = Instantiate(healthbar,Camera.main.WorldToViewportPoint(transform.position) , healthbar.transform.rotation, GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Canvas").transform);
}
When I try to run this code it tells me that I am not assigning the reference
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Enemy.Start ()
I have also tried changing the reference type to GameObject, same error
Best Answer
I have figured out the issue in this case, I simply didn't set the canvas tag
