List bulletPools;
List AIPools;

void MakePools () {
	for (int i = 0; i < game.bulletPools; i++) {
		bulletPools.Add (new ObjectPool()); //NRE here
	}
	for (int i = 0; i < game.AIPools; i++) {
		AIPools.Add (new ObjectPool());
	}
}

The lists aren’t public and game is tested and properly initialised; its pool values are both 100. The script uses System.Collections.Generic. Built-in arrays have been tried to no more success. I tried initialising my new ObjectPool into a variable on a separate line and adding that; no dice. I really don’t have the slightest idea just what it is that I’m doing wrong.

Try this when declaring the variables.

List<ObjectPool> bulletPools = new List<ObjectPool>();
List<ObjectPool> AIPools = new List<ObjectPool>();

You probably didn’t initialize the lists like such:

bulletPools = new List();

AIPools = new List();

I’m I wrong in this?
