Question by Mithosbluefish · May 31, 2013 at 12:39 AM · movementcharactercharactercontrollercontrollernullreferenceexception

CharacterController NullReferenceException dispite attached to object

Hi,

I am writing a movement script using CharacterController. I have a characterController component attached to my object, but, it keeps returning a NullReferenceException. I have tried creating a new object as well as importing one of the example objects, but nothing seems to work. Below is all the code in the script that mentions the CharacterController.

 private var character : CharacterController;

 character = GetComponent(CharacterController);

 if(this.transform.position != standardPos)
     {
         var target : Vector3 = standardPos;
         target.y = transform.position.y; // keep waypoint at character's height
         var moveDirection : Vector3 =  target - transform.position;
         if(moveDirection.magnitude < 1)
         {
             transform.position = target; // force character to waypoint position
         }
         else
         {
               Accelerate();
 
            transform.LookAt(target);
 
             character.Move((moveDirection.normalized*speed)*Time.deltaTime);
        }
     }
