[General] Null reference error in PlayerInventory

[Jason Hahne]

I’m getting NullReference error in PlayerInventory script. I’m getting error on Type weaponType = Type.GetType(data.behaviour);. I’m not sure why the error is happening. I would appreciate it if anyone can help me with this problem.

public int Add(WeaponData data)
{
    int slotNum = -1;

    for (int i = 0; i < weaponSlots.Capacity; i++)
    {
        if (weaponSlots[i].IsEmpty())
        {
            slotNum = i;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (slotNum < 0)
    {
        return slotNum;
    }

    Type weaponType = Type.GetType(data.behaviour);

    if (weaponType != null)
    {
        GameObject go = new GameObject(data.baseStats.name + " Controller");
        WeaponBase spawnedWeapon = (WeaponBase)go.AddComponent(weaponType);
        spawnedWeapon.transform.SetParent(transform);
        spawnedWeapon.transform.localEulerAngles = Vector2.zero;
        spawnedWeapon.Initialize(data);
        spawnedWeapon.OnEquip();

        weaponSlots[slotNum].Assign(spawnedWeapon);

        if (GameManager.instance != null && GameManager.instance.choosingUpgrade)
        {
            GameManager.instance.EndLevelUp();
        }
        return slotNum;
    }

    return -1;
}

I solved the issue. I forgot to assign weapondata to player scriptable object. :D
