NullReferenceException stubborn problem

Unity Engine
1

Here’s my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class WhiteCount : MonoBehaviour {

	public GameObject killer;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Awake()
	{
		this.killer = GameObject.Find("blobKiller");
	}

	void Start () {
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		guiText.text = killer.GetComponent<blobKiller>().whiteCount.ToString(); <---This line throws the error
		Debug.Log(killer.GetComponent<blobKiller>().whiteCount.ToString());
	}
}

I’ve attached the object being referenced to the script in the inspector AND set it in Awake(), but the error is still being thrown on update. I have no idea why, I can’t see what I could possibly have missed.

Can anyone help?

Don’t worry, I saw my mistake in the pasted code, in Awake I was overriding the object attached to the script in the inspector with one called “blobKiller”, which doesn’t exist, the object is called blobkiller, not blobKiller. Is there a way to delete this thread?
