Question by Copywright · Apr 06, 2013 at 11:34 PM · addcomponent

"Add Component" Button not working

It's really weird, I press the button, and I get a null reference exception. On that latest version of Unity, so does anyone have a fix? It's becoming tedious to keep having to go to the GameObject and Component tabs all the time.

Have any incomplete scripts hanging around?

Have you tried reinstalling unity? (Ofcourse there will be other solutions, but reinstalling will most likely fix it and is actually not that time-consu$$anonymous$$g.)

@Loius Nope, fresh project.

@Unitraxx Yep, did it a number of times.

It seems to have stopped happening for me in U4.1 - but I've got used to my replacement version that places the scripts where I want them ;)
