Null Reference on Multiple Sprite Renderers

Unity Engine
,
1 
  foreach(SpriteRenderer sprite in sprites)
        {
            sprite.color = new Color(1, 1, 1, 1 - scale);
        }

So this line of code is meant to change the alpha value of every single sprite in a GameObject’s script. However, when I tested it out, it just gives me a null reference exception.
Is this not how to change multiple alpha values of sprites, or am I just not doing said code right?

Again, it doesn’t matter. The answer is ALWAYS the same. ALWAYS.

Three steps to success:

  • Identify what is null
  • Identify why it is null
  • Fix that

Ok, so i figured out what was the issue: I didn’t identify what “sprites” was.

sprites = transform.GetComponentsInChildren<SpriteRenderer>();

This should do it, though.
