Can anyone help me with this problem please? I'm getting a NullReferenceException error and I know why but I don't know how to solve this. The problem surrounds the variable used to detect distance between two objects called kEyDist. Within the if statement that checks to see whether the distance of the key is close to NPC it destroys the key. Because the key is destroyed the variable kEyDist is then missing the Key gameobject because it was destroyed. This then has a knock on effect of not detecting the distance between the character and the second key. If anyone can come up with a solution to this it would be much appreciated.
