NullException Error while instantiating gameobjects

Hi,

There were two identical lines of instantiation code in my script. But the later one kept on giving NullException error in run time when being accessed (Line 4).

I was stumbled on this issue for an evening before I found out the answer.

Answer is in the first comment.

 current_go_1 = Instantiate (first_go, position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
 current_go_2 = Instantiate (clicked, position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
 current_go_1.name = "1";
 current_go_2.name = "2";

The "clicked" being instantiated in line 2 is actually a tranfsorm and the "first_go" is a gameobject.

When a transform is being instantiated as a GamObject, Unity is not giving any warning or error but simply gives a NullException error when we access that GameObject anywhere else in the script.

current_go_2 = Instantiate (clicked.gameobject, position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;

solved the problem.

Thanks.
