[Part 28] SaveManager Instance not being set

After testing at the end of section 3e, returned an error on the following line of code in the UIPowerSelector script:

purchasedLevel = SaveManager.Instance.GetLevel(powerUp);

Using debug I was able to rule out the error being in the ‘powerUp’ variable, instead SaveManager.Instance was still null.

Further debugging in the SaveManager’s Awake() function shows me that the script isn’t being loaded at all.

Unsure if I’ve missed something in the blog post, in the Bench user guide, or if there’s an object which SaveManager should be a component of in the scene.

Hi Calum, sorry I missed your post!

Did you forget to attach the new SaveManager onto your scene? Without a copy of it there, the Awake() function will never run, so it will never get initialised.

If it’s still not working, you can also follow this guide to set up a GitHub repo for your project, and I’ll hop in there to have a look at it for you.

Hi Terence,

I’ve added an empty game object to the scene now with a SaveManager component, and that seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help!
