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 not$$anonymous$$ng seems to work. Below is all the code in the script that mentions the CharacterController.

 private var character : CharacterController;

 character = GetComponent(CharacterController);

 if(t$$anonymous$$s.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);
        }
     }
