I recently started experimenting with unity- in particular, the FPS microgame, and wanted to make a new weapon or object in said game. I duplicated the script, took all the normal steps, but I’m not sure why I keep getting the message:
“ArgumentException: The Object you want to instantiate is null.
UnityEngine.Object.CheckNullArgument (System.Object arg, System.String message) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/Scripting/UnityEngineObject.bindings.cs:374)

PlayerWeaponsManager.Update () (at Assets/FPS/Scripts/PlayerWeaponsManager.cs:116)”
I’m pretty sure I referenced my prefab (a model I made in blender) as the root for the script. Can somebody tell me how to fix this? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.
What does the inspector look like for your script?
I wasn’t sure if i was supposed to use the physical .blend file for my root, but I did (it’s called starwarsgun)
