Question by Sphyx · Oct 04, 2013 at 12:11 AM · gameobjectarraynullreferenceexceptionresourcesloadall

Resources.LoadAll(); GameObject[] Array

Here is my question:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Hajawack : MonoBehaviour {
     GameObject[] objMatToCompTo;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         objMatToCompTo = Resources.LoadAll("(1)BlockPreFab", typeof(GameObject)) as GameObject[];
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         Debug.Log(objMatToCompTo[0].name);
     
     }
 }


Debug.Log, instead of printing, gives me the error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

What should i do?

Assuming you have folder (1)BlockPreFab under Assets\\Resources, then Resources.LoadAll probably works ok, but converting result messes things up. You can't convert Object[] to GameObject[]. You have to do your casting differently, for example using LINQ:

 objMatToCompTo = Resources.LoadAll("(1)BlockPreFab", typeof(GameObject))
     .Cast<GameObject>()
     .ToArray();

Additionally you need to add

 using System.Linq;

on top of your script.

Thank you so much! This is tricky, but I would assume a pretty common thing to need to be done

You can just use this syntax:

 GameObject[] obj$$anonymous$$atToCompTo;
 
 obj$$anonymous$$atToCompTo = Resources.LoadAll<GameObject>("(1)BlockPreFab");

yes, but be aware that then you have to cast each one each time you use it

Thank you very much for this. I tried about 15 other suggestions which all failed before I found this. Thanks!
