GetComponent() -> NullRefereceException ??

Scripting
1

Hallo

My script(ReadShield.js) is in the screenshot below:

the highlighted line marks the critical location: Sometimes(not always) I get this error:
NullReferenceException
UnityEngine.Component.GetComponent (System.String type)
ReadShield.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets\Scripts\ReadShield.js:11)

It seems that unity does not always find the specified component or the “current” camera.

Please help me, I’m getting mad because of that.

You may want Camera.main instead of Camera.current.

Thank you, that helped me much! But what is the difference? Why does Camera.main work better than Camera.current?

camera.main = the camera with the MainCamera tag

camera.current = the camera that was rendering at that time (if you have 2 or are in the editor this makes a difference)
