    Hi Gongy! There are a few reason why your CheckAndSpawnChunk method may be giving an error.

    1. Your currentChunk may be null. Please check if you have assigned it in the ChunkTrigger script. If you have, make sure you have assigned it on the Trigger GameObject that should be under your Terrain Chunk prefab.
    2. The transform.Find(direction) call may be returning null. This would happen if there is no child object under currentChunk with the name that matches the string direction. Double check the name of your static points (i.e. Up, Down, Left, Right, Right Up, Right Down, Left Up, Left Down) and make sure they are correct. Also make sure to double check the strings of the direction in the ChunkChecker method.
    3. The OverlapCircle or SpawnChunk methods could be attempting to use a component that doesn’t exist or hasn’t been assigned. For example, if you haven’t assigned the LayerMask of terrainMask, this could cause a null reference exception.

    I have this helps!

    If none of these things work could you perhaps share a screenshot of the error. It should show the exact line where the error occurs and it would make debugging much easier.

    Hi Gongy,

    For the issue you are facing, it is likely that your currentChunk variable in line 90 is null. Hence, when you try to access currentChunk.transform, you get a NullReferenceException.

    These usually happen when you forget to assign variables in the Inspector, or call GetComponent<>() to populate your variables.

    We’ve made a video here on how you can fix NullReferenceExceptions: https://youtu.be/dHyksxGUYbo

    Just in case anyone else has the same issue, I was able to fix this by moving all of my Static Points to be a direct child of the Terrain Chunk prefab, instead of under a Location Points Game Object. After that, I double checked that the Static Points had the layerMask set to “Terrain” and verified that the names matched the strings in the code. I then deleted my old Terrain Chunk prefabs, duplicated my new Terrain Chunk prefab, plugged the new prefabs into the Map Controller script, tested to see if it worked, and it did!
