Question by LenaDoll · Jul 25, 2017 at 02:16 PM · valuecounternull reference exceptionclones

How can I avoid null point exception and count clones? My counter only counts the original ball but not the clones. Help?

[CODE]

 public int count;
     public Text countText;
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     count = 0;
     SetCountText ();
     Destroy (this.gameObject, 10);
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     
 }

 void OnMouseDown() {
     if(Input.GetMouseButton (0))
     {
         count += 1;
         SetCountText ();
         Destroy (this.gameObject);
     }
 }

 void SetCountText(){
     if (countText != null)
     {
         countText.text = "" + count.ToString();
     }
 }


} [\CODE]

Simplest, most naive way:

 public int static count = 0;
 public Text countText;
 
  // Use this for initialization
  void Start () 
 {
      SetCountText ();
      Destroy (this.gameObject, 10);
  }

And you removed the part of your Start() function that sets the value to 0?

Are you sure your Text reference is being preserved across the clones?

Here would be the next step in naive solutions. $$anonymous$$ake sure the first one has its text reference:

 public static int count = 0;
 public Text countText;
 public static Text staticCountText;
 
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
 
     if (countText != null)
         staticCountText = countText;
 
     SetCountText ();
     Destroy (this.gameObject, 10);
 }
 
 void SetCountText(){
     if (staticCountText != null)
     {
         staticCountText.text = "" + count.ToString();
     }
 }
