GameObject.Find() on build returns NRE. In editor works fine.

Question

Hi there guys.

Have a problem, don't know where to look. Order in compilation or what. Here is the hierarchy:

CanvasDialogue (Canvas - prefab)
-- DialogueBox (Text)

NPC (prefab of npc)
-- DialogObject (which contains script DialogBoxScript.cs)

DialogBoxScript.cs location: Assets/Scripts/UI

 public class DialogBoxScript : MonoBehaviour {
 void Start () {
     owner = GetComponentInParent<NpcCharacter> ();
     if (owner == null) {
         Debug.LogError ("owner is null");
     }
     hideTextBox ();
     player = GameObject.Find ("Player").GetComponent<Player> ();
     text = GameObject.Find ("CanvasDialogue").GetComponentInChildren<Text> ();
     if (text == null) {
         Debug.LogError ("text is null");
     }
 }

NRE occurs on line 9. Well in build only, when I run exe. When I run game in unity, everything works as it should. Where to look? Cause honestly, have no idea.

Problem is gone, but have no f idea what was it. Made workaround. Removed CanvasDialogue (Canvas - prefab) -- DialogueBox (Text)

And moved DialogueBox to other Canvas which was visible in build exe.

I removed and recreated second canvas and still got a problem while on build, but not in editor.
