In my game you can pick up a weapon like a laser sniper. I made the laser sniper but the problem is when i put in this line of code
if (transform.parent != null && transform.parent.tag == “Player1”)
and inside put my firing function so the player can only shoot the weapon once they got it in there hands. The firing function worked without that "if " function and i don’t know whats wrong heres my script for the laser sniper thx if you could help :D.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class LaserWeapon : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject projectile;
public Transform shotPoint;
private float timeBtwShots;
public float startTimeBtwShots;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll)
{
if (coll.gameObject.name == "Player1")
{
transform.parent = coll.gameObject.transform;
}
if (coll.gameObject.name == "Player2")
{
transform.parent = coll.gameObject.transform;
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
private void Update()
{
if (transform.parent != null && transform.parent.tag == "Player1") // ****NOT WORKING****
{
if (timeBtwShots <= 0)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F))
{
Instantiate(projectile, shotPoint.position, transform.rotation);
timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots;
}
else
{
timeBtwShots -= Time.deltaTime;
}
}
}
}
}
Here is the error i’m getting
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
