Trouble instantiating an Array of Prefabs

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve been trying to create an array of prefabs based on some answers I found here, but I’m not having any luck. I keep getting a null reference error. I’m sure this is a simple problem, but I’m a noob and can’t solve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s the code i have so far:

public GameObject[][] tiles_array;
public GameObject tilePrefab1;

public int boardWidth = 32;
public int boardHeight = 32;

float tileWidth = 5.0f;
float tileHeight = 5.0f;

void Start () {

	Debug.Log("fart");

	tilePrefab1 = Resources.Load("tilePrefab1", typeof(GameObject)) as GameObject ;      
		
		for (int i = 0; i < boardWidth; i++)
		{
			
		tiles_array *= new GameObject[boardWidth];*

  •   		for (int j = 0; j <boardHeight; j++)*

  •   		{*

tiles_array_[j]= (GameObject)Instantiate(tilePrefab1, new Vector3(itileWidth,jtileHeight,-2), Quaternion.identity);_

* }*
* }*
}

You didn’t initialize the array. Also, it would be simpler to use a 2D array instead of a jagged array…easier to initialize since you can just initialize the 2D array instead of having to initialize all of the arrays in the jagged array individually.
