Hey.
I need some help with my NetworkManager Script. The Error is:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

This error could mean you tried using the property of an object that doesn’t exist.

Make sure all the objects in your SpawnMyPlayer() exist by logging them.

Eg:
Debug.Log(standbyCamera);
Debug.Log(myPlayerGO);
Debug.Log(mySpawnSpot);

You might find that something in there is null.
