    Hi, I have a trouble on part 6.

    I just followed “Camera Bounds” & “Dynamic Camera Y Damping” and when I try to run the game, it just pauses and there are repetitive error msg on console.

    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    SceneTransition.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/SceneTransition.cs:27)

    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    PlayerController.UpdateCameraYDampForPlayerFall () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs:253)
    PlayerController.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs:184)

    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    PlayerController.UpdateCameraYDampForPlayerFall () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs:258)
    PlayerController.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs:184)

    I don’t know how to deal with “NUllReferenceException” error.

    this is my error console img below.

    Hi Pete, for the SceneFader, can you check this topic and see if it fixes your issue? https://blog.terresquall.com/community/topic/part-5-my-scenefader-cannot-function/

    I’ll need you to bold the line the error is occurring on for your PlayerController script. The null reference exception is specific to certain lines.

    You may also find this video useful:

    Thanks for your reply.

    But blog.terresquall.com/community/topic/part-5-my-scenefader-cannot-function/ this case doesn’t work for me…

    and try to solve with Youtube video, it also doesn’t work…

    so i’ll bold all the line the error is occuring.

    In regards to the camera, can you check if your Camera parent or any object has the CameraManager.cs script on it? I feel that likely the errors in the PlayerController.cs is a separate issue where it cannot find an instance of the CameraManager.cs

    As for your SceneTransition, check that your Canvas Prefab has a UIManager.cs attached to it & the “Scene Fader” assigned appropriately to it. Then ensure that the SceneFader game object in the Canvas is set to Active as an inactive one will be taken as a null.

    Otherwise, if both situations don’t work, could you taking some screenshots of the inspector of your UIManager, Player, SceneTransition inspectors & a video or console of what happens when you transition scenes?

    As a side note, I noticed that your SceneTransition.cs calls SceneManager.LoadScene(transitionTo); in the private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D _other) method before the StartCoroutine. You should not need the LoadScene() code itself as the coroutine you are casting will activate both the fade and LoadScene() already.

    I think that i better to show you my situation with screenshots and video

    and in canvas prefab, I can’t attach SceneFader.cs on UIManager…

    Hi sorry, but I’ll need more videos, particularly, you showing how the Canvas Prefab inspector is like while in game + Moving out of the camera bounds + scene transitions. You can take one video straight, selecting different objects to show their insectors.

    From the looks of the normal inspectors, either there is no SceneFader set on your UIManager.cs, or it will be automatically set by a SceneFader.instance if there is one in the scene.

    thanks for your reply Joseph!

    You mean this one-take video?

    and I want to show scene transitioning but when I start game, the character’s movement is not working.

    So the only things I can show you in this video is Inspectors.

    As can be seen in the video, your Canvas has nothing set as it’s Scene Fader.

    As for the fact that you cannot move, I believe something went wrong with your RigidBody2D which is also causing the NullReferenceException Errors for your UpdateCameraYDampForPlayerFall() method.

    Can you copy and paste the entire code for your UIManager.cs & your PlayerController.cs?

    At the same time, check if the Scene Fader game object under your Canvas has a SceneFader.cs script on it.

    For the SceneFader error:
    Add this code under UIManager.cs:

    private void Awake()
        {
            if (Instance != null && Instance != this)
            {
                Destroy(gameObject);
            }
            else
            {
                Instance = this;
            }
            DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
            sceneFader = GetComponentInChildren();
        }

    As for your movement and camera issue. I’ll need to check so give me a moment.

    This is quite a confusing situation,
    So far it seems your code is correct. I’ve even used the code you’ve provided and i’ve had no errors so far.
    So unless some other code is messing it all up, which i doubt, the only issue should be your scene/Camera setup. But why your character cannot move I’m not sure of.

    I’ll try to find a solution but for now, I can’t confidently pin the cause of the issue.

    Thanks for your help Joseph.

    I want to tell you that I can move character until “[Part6] Camera Bounds” but after I follow “Dynamic Camera Y Damping”, I can’t move my character.

    I tried to find solution from there, but I couldn’t…

    I hope this problem to be solved soon.

    Could you send your CameraManager.cs? I have a theory that the methods aren’t there or are named differently, causing the error.

    Furthermore, I believe the reason you can’t move is because your Update() is failing to call your UpdateCameraYDampForPlayerFall() method and thus cannot get to Move() in your code.

    Sure here’s the code

    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using Cinemachine;
    using UnityEngine;
    
    public class CameraManager : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] CinemachineVirtualCamera[] allVirtualCameras;
        private CinemachineVirtualCamera currentCamera;
        private CinemachineFramingTransposer framingTransposer;
    
        [Header("Y Damping Settings for Player Jump/Fall: ")]
        [SerializeField] private float panAmount = 0.1f;
        [SerializeField] private float panTime = 0.2f;
        public float playerFallSpeedThreshold = -10;
        public bool isLerpingYDamping;
        public bool hasLerpedYDamping;
    
        private float normalYDamp;
    
        public static CameraManager Instance { get; private set; }
    
        private void Awake() 
        {
            if(Instance = null)
            {
                Instance = this;
            }
    
            for(int i = 0; i < allVirtualCameras.Length; i++)
            {
                if (allVirtualCameras[i].enabled) 
                {
                    currentCamera = allVirtualCameras[i];
    
                    framingTransposer =  currentCamera.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineFramingTransposer>();
                }
            }
    
            normalYDamp = framingTransposer.m_YDamping;
        }
    
        private void Start() 
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < allVirtualCameras.Length; i++)

            currentCamera = _newCam;
    
            currentCamera.enabled = true;
        }
    
        public IEnumerator LerpYDamping(bool _isPlayerFalling)
        { 
            isLerpingYDamping = true;
            //take start y damp amount
            float _startYDamp = framingTransposer.m_YDamping;
            float _endYDamp = 0;
            //determine end damp amount
            if (_isPlayerFalling) 
            {
                _endYDamp = panAmount;
                hasLerpedYDamping = true;
            }
            else 
            {
                _endYDamp = normalYDamp;
            }
            //lerp panAmount
            float _timer = 0;
            while (_timer < panTime) 
            {

                float _lerpedPanAmount = Mathf.Lerp(_startYDamp, _endYDamp, (_timer / panTime));
                framingTransposer.m_YDamping = _lerpedPanAmount;
                yield return null;
            }

        }
    }

    Okay, so nothing appears to be wrong with your code, let’s try to find what isn’t being set then:

    1) Replace rb.velocity.y with values [0] & [1] (Checking if rb is the nullreference)
    2) Put the code print(CameraManager.Instance); (Checking if the correct cameramanager is found)
    In your PlayerController.cs,

    void UpdateCameraYDampForPlayerFall()
        {
            print(CameraManager.Instance);
            //if falling past a certain speed threshold
            if (rb.velocity.y 0 < playerFallSpeedThreshold && !CameraManager.Instance.isLerpingYDamping && !CameraManager.Instance.hasLerpedYDamping)
            {
                StartCoroutine(CameraManager.Instance.LerpYDamping(true));
            }
            //if standing stil or moving up
            if (rb.velocity.y 1 >= 0 && !CameraManager.Instance.isLerpingYDamping && CameraManager.Instance.hasLerpedYDamping)
            {
                //reset camera function
                CameraManager.Instance.hasLerpedYDamping = false;
                StartCoroutine(CameraManager.Instance.LerpYDamping(false));
            }
        }

    If change (1) returns a nullreference, then your CameraManager cannot be found. If (2) returns the correct name, then your cameramanager can be found.
