Strange Pptr error on destroy

Audio & Video
1

Hi,

I’m trying to create a generic SoundManager game object that simply fires off sounds.

Thus the gameobject has an AudioSource and a script attached.

The script has a public list of AudioClips and all I do is call the script with the array element like:

audio.PlayOneShot(_Clips[i]);

This seems to work fine.

I have 2 of these sound managers in level files for two different games. Each game has a flow of 4 levels so I have to keep the audio player around with DontDestroyOnLoad. When the game finishes I call Destroy(this.gameObject)

This is where the problem arises. If I join the other game and attempt to play, I get an error that says:

PPtr cast failed when dereferencing! Casting from AudioClip to MonoScript!

If I look in the inspector, all the clips and even the script variable are just random things in my project (some that aren’t even audioclips). I have no idea why this would occur as these are two totally separate GameObjects in two totally separate Level files. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello!

Are you sure you are not over writing the values on your array somewhere?

if you are not, then can you make a small project which reassembles that issue and report it as a bug with screenshots and all you can add so the developers can guess easily what’s happening.

Right on! Please send this in.
