GUI Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Unity Engine
1

i was trying to go through the other threads, but it seems like my code and theirs pretty much match up.

i’m trying to display the values of the stats next to the names of the stats, however i only get the first stat with no value next to it, and a constant console error of “Object ref not set to an instance”

here’s the code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System;				//used for the Enum class

public class CharacterGenerator : MonoBehaviour 
{
	private PlayerCharacter _toon;
	
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		_toon = new PlayerCharacter();
		_toon.Awake();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{
	
	}
	
	void OnGUI()
	{
		GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 50, 25), "Name:");
		_toon.Name = GUI.TextArea(new Rect(65, 10, 100, 25), _toon.Name);
		
		for(int cnt = 0; cnt < Enum.GetValues(typeof(AttributeName)).Length; cnt++) 
		{
			GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 40 + (cnt * 25), 100, 25), ((AttributeName)cnt).ToString());
			GUI.Label(new Rect(115, 40 + (cnt * 25), 30, 25), _toon.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).AdjustedBaseValue.ToString());
		}
	}
}

any help is appreciated! Thanks!

think this might be another source of the problem:

anyone? Anyone?

I really don’t want to post a second thread about the same problem…
