Every time a floating text pops up, this error appears. I wonder if its because its trying to access ‘rect’ variable after destroying the floating text.

<code>IEnumerator GenerarTextoFlotanteCoroutine(string text, Transform target, float duration = 1f, float speed = 1f)
    {
        GameObject floatingText = new GameObject("Texto Flotante"); 
        RectTransform rectTransform = floatingText.AddComponent<RectTransform>(); 
        TextMeshProUGUI tmPro = floatingText.AddComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>(); 
        tmPro.text = text;
        tmPro.horizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignmentOptions.Center; 
        tmPro.verticalAlignment = VerticalAlignmentOptions.Middle; 
        tmPro.fontSize = fontSize; 
        if (fontFamily) tmPro.font = fontFamily; 
        rectTransform.position = camaraReferencia.WorldToScreenPoint(target.position); 

        Destroy(floatingText, duration); 
        floatingText.transform.SetParent(instancia.damageTextCanvas.transform); 

        WaitForEndOfFrame wait = new WaitForEndOfFrame(); 
        float time = 0;
        float yOffset = 0;
        while (time < duration) 
        {
            yield return wait;
            time += Time.deltaTime; 

            tmPro.color = new Color(tmPro.color.r, tmPro.color.g, tmPro.color.b, 1 - time / duration);

            yOffset += Time.deltaTime * speed; 
            rectTransform.position = camaraReferencia.WorldToScreenPoint(target.position + new Vector3(0, yOffset)); 
        }
    }</code>

Also noticed that when the level up screen or results screen shows up, the text keeps over those.

EDIT: I found the solution if anyone else is experiencing this issue: After setting the parent I added this line:

floatingText.transform.SetAsFirstSibling();
