Question by kadealicious · Apr 14, 2015 at 11:25 AM · c#transformlerp

C# - Mathf.Lerp: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set

Full error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object MouseLook.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/MouseLook.cs:32)

I don't know if I did something stupid, but the line of code that doesn't work is:

transform.up = Vector3.Lerp (transform.up, transform.parent.up, 0.25f);

I am trying to set the main camera's position to the position of the player capsule, but it just keeps throwing that error. Any ideas?

Most likely transform.parent is null. How is the object you try to move parented? And if you are trying to set a position, why are you modifying transform.up?

Make sure your camera is a child of your player.

Maybe is problem with modifying tranform.up, i am not really sure if it is posible. You could modify transform.position.
