null reference exception question on a long script without pointing the lines of the error(s).

Null script error...in the Sylvester Stallone of scripts.

Hey folks!

Just a simple coding error--with a really long, brute force script! I couldn't figure out how to put the scripts in an array, so I'm just doing this the hard way. But that's not the problem. The problem is that it's telling me there's a NullReferenceException, and that the Object Reference is not set to an instance of the object, and pointing to the first time I attempt to reference one of my scripts' Switch functions. All the scripts are the same, actually...just on eleven different objects. Print statements are telling me that the script that's giving me the error is Null...so I guess I'm not referencing any of this correctly?

I will tell tales of your heroism to all my friends in my design studio, if you can help me figure this one out. Thanks so much for your time. I feel stuck, right now...

Simon.
