Scripting

Hello ,I’m trying to make a simple moving character script (script from a tutorial) and when I want to check the few first step, this error show :
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
PlayerController.Move () (at Assets/Codes/PlayerController.cs:35)
PlayerController.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/Codes/PlayerController.cs:30)

PlayerController script :

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {

    //Variables
    public float walkspeed;

    Rigidbody rb;
    Vector3 moveDirection;

    void awake()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
    }
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update ()
    {
        //Direction
        float horizontalMovement = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float verticalMovement = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        moveDirection = (horizontalMovement * transform.right + verticalMovement * transform.forward).normalized;
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Move();
    }

    void Move()
    {
        rb.velocity = moveDirection * walkspeed * Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

Please help me.

Try changing Line 11 to this:
void Awake()
You need to capitalize the first letter of that method’s name

No, more likely, you’re just a beginner. Keep at it!
