Okay, I screen recorded and it captured something I didn’t notice is that the UI Manager, Canvas, and Scene Fader disappear when I play the game.

Thank you for being so patient with me ;<;

Ok, could you record a video of the scenefader game object inspector during play? Just play the scene and select the scenefader in the hierarchy

Ok, in your recording it seems that your scenetransition script is failing to start the coroutine of the scene fading in the at start, which means that the UIManager is unable to find the scenefader to start the fade sequence, is the scenefader game object assigned in the inspector of your UIManager Script?

[Ferral Child]

I checked- Scene Transition, Start Point, UI Manager, Canvas, and Scene Fader are all enabled.

[Chloe Lim]

Ok, is your scenefader ui disabled in the hiearchy? need to enable it or there will be a null exception as the script cant find the inactive scenefader
When your scene starts, there should be a fade out, then when moving to another scene it will fade in then out again to the new scene

Hello,

I am having issues with getting my scene transition to work. As no matter how many times I run into what should be the transition ‘doorway’ to the next scene, nothing happens at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Try to add rb.constraints = RigidbodyContraints2D.FreezePosition to your player death function
for the gameover screen, ensure that the gameove text and button is below in the hiearchy of the scene fader, like this

[pepecry]

Hi everyone, I’m on the way to make the scene fading but got some trouble with it now.
Firstly when I start the game, the image not was render under the game build like the video. Don’t know that does I miss anything in the video. Here is the scene fader of my

and here is the Inspector of it

If i turn off the image and start the game, there is some error happend in the console

the first two error happand with start of the game. The third error happend when I get to the scene transition point. My character keep moving and the error happend.
Here is the scene transition code

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class SceneTransition : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update

    [SerializeField] private string transitionTo;
    [SerializeField] private Transform startPoint;
    [SerializeField] private Vector2 directionExit;
    [SerializeField] private float exitTime;

    private void Start()
    {
        if (transitionTo == GameManager.Instance.transitionFromScene)
        {
            Move.Instance.transform.position = startPoint.position;
            StartCoroutine(Move.Instance.WalktonewScene(directionExit,exitTime));
        }

        StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.sceneFading.Fade(SceneFading.fadeDirection.Out));

    }
    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D _other)
    {
        if (_other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            GameManager.Instance.transitionFromScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
            Move.Instance.playerStateList.incutscene = true;
            StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.sceneFading.FadeAndLoadScene(SceneFading.fadeDirection.In,transitionTo));
        }
    }
}

the scenefading script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class SceneFading : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField] private float fadeTime;
    private Image fadeoutUIImage;
    public enum fadeDirection
    {
        In,
        Out
    }
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Awake()
    {
        fadeoutUIImage = GetComponent<Image>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }

    public IEnumerator Fade(fadeDirection _fadeDirection)
    {
        float _alpha = _fadeDirection == fadeDirection.Out ? 1 : 0;
        float _fadeEndValue = _fadeDirection == fadeDirection.Out ? 0 : 1;

        if (_fadeDirection == fadeDirection.Out) 
        {
            while (_alpha >= _fadeEndValue) 
            {
                setColorImage(ref _alpha,_fadeDirection);
                yield return null;
            }
            fadeoutUIImage.enabled = false;
        }
        else
        {
            fadeoutUIImage.enabled = true;
            while(_alpha <= _fadeEndValue)
            {
                setColorImage(ref _alpha,_fadeDirection);
                yield return null;
            }
        }
        
    }

    public IEnumerator FadeAndLoadScene(fadeDirection _fadeDirection, string _sceneToLoad)
    {
        fadeoutUIImage.enabled = true ;
        yield return Fade(_fadeDirection);
        SceneManager.LoadScene(_sceneToLoad);
    }

    void setColorImage(ref float _alpha, fadeDirection _fadeDirection)
    {
        fadeoutUIImage.color = new Color(fadeoutUIImage.color.r, fadeoutUIImage.color.g, fadeoutUIImage.color.b, _alpha);
        _alpha += Time.deltaTime * (1/fadeTime) * (_fadeDirection == fadeDirection.Out ? -1 : 1);
    }
}

I already change the start from scene fading to the Awake but still cannot fix the null refference.
Can you guys help me to make the black image render behind the game and fix this bug?

Hello everyone! I have a problem again, but it’s not so significant anymore, in short, the first is that my enemy doesn’t take damage from spells at all, and the second is that when I press the button to heal, my character freezes with the healing animation and does nothing else. I also want to note that there are no errors either in Unit or in the console with the code itself. Sorry to bother you again, I hope you can help me with something. Thank you in advance.

Sorry, but I need confirmation that you’ve done this:

I was able to get the same error message as you did by changing my SceneFader.cs Awake() to Start().

So let’s put back the portal again.
Then, again, I would like for you to set Both your

SceneFader.cs

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start Awake()
    {
        fadeOutUIImage = GetComponent();
    }

SceneTransition.cs

    private void Awake Start()
    {
        if (GameManager.Instance.transitionedFromScene == transitionTo)
        {
            PlayerController.Instance.transform.position = startPoint.position;

            StartCoroutine(PlayerController.Instance.WalkIntoNewScene(exitDirection, exitTime));
        }

        StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.sceneFader.Fade(SceneFader.FadeDirection.Out));
    }

---

Again, if this is not the issue, please do tell.
But first try to play with this script, then do not change it.
If there are any errors, we can check up on those and continue forward using this script to check for any further issues.

Hello everyone again! I still can’t fix this game but I saw that after I changed Awake() back to Start() the error code changed and this is what it looks like after I did it –
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
SceneFader.SetColorImage (System.Single& _alpha, SceneFader+FadeDirection _fadeDirection) (at Assets/code/SceneFader.cs:71)
SceneFader+<Fade>d__5.MoveNext () (at Assets/code/SceneFader.cs:40)
UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext (System.Collections.IEnumerator enumerator, System.IntPtr returnValueAddress) (at <0652bf0e14024522b5c92574ad0ef550>:0)
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:StartCoroutine(IEnumerator)
SceneTransition:Start() (at Assets/code/SceneTransition.cs:27)

But what else I noticed in short I decided to delete the portal and when i started the game then it worked but for some reason the scene fader doesn’t go away so I can’t see anything I don’t know if this tells you anything or helps but just adding information. Thank you for your attention and thank you again for your help!

[Joseph Tang]

I do believe that the issue is with your SceneFader.
Yes, the error does indeed originate from SceneTransition.cs Awake(), but it is definitely in relation to your SceneFader not having it’s image component set yet.

If we look at your initial error, we receive a NullReferenceExceptionError pointing to the line calling UIManager’s sceneFader's Fade() function.
This can only mean that:

1. UIManager doesn’t exist in the scene.
2. sceneFader doesn’t exist in the scene.
3. sceneFader’s Image can’t be reached.

The error is self explanatory, and the 3rd is possible due to the Fade() method’s only possible null error to be the image it’s setting.

---

So, my recommendation is to check for the following:

1. UIManager is in the scene. It only needs to be in the scene since the instance can be called once it’s there.
2. sceneFader is appropriately attached to the UIManager gameobject in the scene. Ensure that it actually is there in a playing game, there’s a possibility it isn’t and that will be a separate explorable problem.
3. sceneFader has an image component attached to it. This is important so that it can be referred to through the Fade() method.

---

Now to actually solve this issue.

I think you should leave the SceneTransition.cs as Start(). Then set SceneFader.cs as Awake().
The true problem is likely the third issue if anything.
Putting SceneTransition.cs as Start() will allow SceneFader.cs Awake() to run first, allowing the sceneFader to grab it’s image component in time for the Fade() method to work when called by SceneTransition.cs.

[Terence]

The issue is with this line of SceneTransition:

StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.sceneFader.FadeAndLoadScene(SceneFader.FadeDirection.In, transitionTo));

More specifically, the sceneFader variable is null. This is because the variable in UIManager is initialised in Awake(), same as where the error occurs. For the code to go away, you need to ensure that UIManager.Awake() runs first before SceneTransition.Awake().

An easy way to do so is to change the Awake() in SceneTransition to Start(), so that it runs later.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class SceneTransition : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update

    [SerializeField] private string transitionTo;

    [SerializeField] private Transform startPoint;

    [SerializeField] private Vector2 exitDirection;

    [SerializeField] private float exitTime;

    private void AwakeStart()
    {
        if (GameManager.Instance.transitionedFromScene == transitionTo)
        {
            PlayerController.Instance.transform.position = startPoint.position;

            StartCoroutine(PlayerController.Instance.WalkIntoNewScene(exitDirection, exitTime));
        }

        StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.sceneFader.Fade(SceneFader.FadeDirection.Out));
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D _other)
    {
        if (_other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            GameManager.Instance.transitionedFromScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;

            PlayerController.Instance.pState.cutscene = true;

            StartCoroutine(UIManager.Instance.sceneFader.FadeAndLoadScene(SceneFader.FadeDirection.In, transitionTo));
        }
    }
}

Let me know if this works.

Hi! I’m facing a NullReferenceException error in my Unity project, and I’m not sure how to resolve it. The error message is:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

in short, I wrote code for sceneFader and everything worked perfectly, but after I added the lighting to the scene, everything stopped working and started giving this error.

In FadeUi.cs, can you try finding the codes that set canvasGroup.blocksRaycasts and comment them out?

Following that, try setting your “Raycast Target” to false for your scene fader.

When you test out pressing the button and you are unable to.

*Do Not Restart* but instead looking through the canvas elements and deactivating any of them by settting those game objects inactive.

You should do this to find if any one game object is causing the issue, or if the issue is primarily the buttons.
