We don’t see any line numbers on the code but if you check your code and maybe log the index value you assume is correct you should see that the index is outside the bounds.

3

It’s in the UpdateUI() function.

4

Well how many array accesses do you have there? What is the index value? It sounds like it is outside the bounds.

5

There is a single array in if statement that is carsUnlocked[ ] and one in else statement that is carPrices[ ].

6

I meant how many arrays that it would be hard to check. They use currentCar as an index doesn’t it sound like that might be the value that is out of bounds? Check the value.
