error spawning random prefabs (C# Unity)

Make sure your log console selector buttons are enabled. See this graphic:

If you do have an error, the complete error message contains everything you need to know to fix the error yourself.

Always start with the FIRST error in the console window, as sometimes that error causes or compounds some or all of the subsequent errors.

The important parts of the error message are:

  • the description of the error itself (google this; you are NEVER the first one!)
  • the file it occurred in (critical!)
  • the line number and character position (the two numbers in parentheses)
  • also possibly useful is the stack trace (all the lines of text in the lower console window)

All of that information is in the actual error message and you must pay attention to it. Learn how to identify it instantly so you don’t have to stop your progress and fiddle around with the forum.

Remember: NOBODY memorizes error codes. The error code is absolutely the least useful part of the error. It serves no purpose at all. Forget the error code. Put it out of your mind.
