One of my scripts has no check-box next to it in Inspector
I have created an empty gameobject and dragged four scripts onto it to control various things. One of them has no check-box next to it in the inspector and one of the others isn't being instantiated properly, meaning I'm getting an error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
I am referencing them like this:
public class DataLayer : MonoBehaviour { private Configs configOb; private PageLoader pl;
void Start() { configOb = (Configs)gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(Configs)); //configOb = new Configs(); //pl = new PageLoader(); pl = (PageLoader)gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(PageLoader)); }
public ArrayList getTopApps() { ArrayList titleArray = new ArrayList(); string fetchUrl = configOb.getRoot()+"TopTen.php";
When I test this code it fails at the bottom line because the configOb is null.
I am having the exact same problem! while my scripting was working fine it stoped and i get the exact same message! and there is no tick box! what should i do?
Your MonoBehaviour won't have a checkbox next to it in the inspector if it doesn't have any of the per-frame methods, like Update, FixedUpdate, OnGUI, etc.
I can't tell you why your configOb variable isn't being set properly. It may be due to something outside of the script you posted.
Ok, thanks. I can't figure out why it wont initiate my scripts
Is getTopApps() called by another script's Start() method? If so, it may be running before DataLayer.Start() is.
The convention I usually follow to avoid this is to put all reference assignment (GetComponent, Find, etc) in Awake, while startup functionality that relies on such references always goes in Start.
