Hey guys, I come up with a problem and I tried to resolve it by a numerous ways with no luck that I’m starting to get a bit crazy lol, because I think its a stupid problem.

So my problem is that I’m trying to get a GameObject through FindWithTag, but unity just keekps throwing a Null reference exception! I dont know why, I have the prefab tagged in the editor and have no mispelling errors, and I tried diferent names of tag with no luck aswell.

Here’s me code (part of it):

public class Item: MonoBehaviour {

	public GameObject Player;

	public bool CanDo = false;

	void Awake () {

		if (Player == null) {

			Player = GameObject.FindWithTag ("PlayerOwner");
		}
	}

	void Update () {

		if (Vector3.Distance (Player.transform.position, transform.position) < 5) {

			CanDo = true;
		}

Hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance!
