Question by msmith53104 · May 16, 2018 at 01:12 AM · null reference exception

What does Object reference not set to an instance of an object mean?

Hellp I am new to C# and I have searched everything and I can not find the answer hope you can help.

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

 [RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMotor))]
 public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public LayerMask movementmask;
 
 
     Camera cam;
     PlayerMotor motor;
     RaycastHit hit;
 
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start()
     {
         cam = Camera.main;
         motor = GetComponent<PlayerMotor>();
 
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(pos: Input.mousePosition);
             RaycastHit hit;
             
 
             if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 100, movementmask))
             {
 
                 motor.MovetoPoint(hit.point);
 
                 // stop focusing any objects
 
             }
         }
     }
 }
 
 

,using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMotor))] public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour { public LayerMask movementmask;

 Camera cam;
 PlayerMotor motor;
 RaycastHit hit;


 // Use this for initialization
 void Start()
 {
     cam = Camera.main;
     motor = GetComponent<PlayerMotor>();

 }

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
         Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(pos: Input.mousePosition);
         RaycastHit hit;
         

         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 100, movementmask))
         {

             motor.MovetoPoint(hit.point);

             // stop focusing any objects

         }
     }
 }

Copy and paste the entire error message so we can see what line of code is causing the problem.

The answer is: It means that one of your variables is null and you're trying to do something with it. If a variable is null, you can't do anything to its data since there is no data...

First you did not show the full error so I can't give you any answer, but this error basically means that you have a variable that is been used in code but hasn't been assign to an instance. Double click on the error and it'll located the error for you.
