The code is giving me a null reference error and i dont understand why? The error is apparently on the 2nd line of ProjectileEquip function. been trying to figure it out for far to long.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SubMenuGUI : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public GUIStyle myGUI;
	public int selGridInt = 0;
    public string[] weapons = new string[] {"Plasma", "RailGun"};
	
	private scriptPlayer scriptplayer;
	
	void Awake(){
		scriptplayer = GetComponent<scriptPlayer>();
		
		
	}
	
	void OnGUI(){
		
		GUI.Box(new Rect(0,0,Screen.width,Screen.height),"Customize Your Ship", myGUI);
		selGridInt = GUI.SelectionGrid(new Rect(25, 25, 150, 30), selGridInt, weapons, 2);
		
		
		ProjectileEquip();
		
		
		if(GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - 50, Screen.width / 2 + 150,100, 50), "Enter World"))
			Destroy(this);
	}
	
	void ProjectileEquip(){
		if(selGridInt == 0){
			scriptplayer.plasma = true;
		}
		if(selGridInt == 1)
			print("RailGun");
	}
	
}

Hey! its not getting the right script check that you have script name right…:slight_smile:

3

int the script getcomponent you should have written getcomponent(script)

4

the name of the script is scriptPlayer

(its not letting me add comment so i had to say in answers)

How to Get 2 different Components to one variable ?
srcFirst.cs / srcSecond.cs

public ??? src;

void start(){

 src = gameObject.GetComponent<srcFirst>();
 if(!src) src = gameObject.GetComponent<srcSecond>();

}

I get “Embedded statement cannot be a declaration or labeled statement”
But I need only one variable..
