gather text NullReferenceException error

cemleme

Hello,

When I gather text it gives me a null reference exception. When I trace it with adding
Debug.Log(prefix + "_" + action.name); on line 2926 it shows me the actionlist it is caused.

When I check that action I see it has an id assigned by the speech manager.
when I delete that action and recreate it continues to another actionlist and is stuck there. It would take forever to recreate all the action lists.

(actions are inscene interaction/cutscene, not actionlist asset)

do you have any idea/suggestion?

ac version: 1.70.4
unity:2019.3.7f1

thanks

This looks to be a duplicate of this issue.

I will be addressing this in the next update - but that thread offers a temporary solution in the meantime.

NullReferenceException means that you are trying to use a reference variable whose value is Nothing/null . When the value is Nothing/null for the reference variable, which means that it is not actually holding a reference to an instance of any object that exists on the heap.

string str = null;
str.ToUpper();

Above c# code throws a NullReferenceException at the second line because you can't call the instance method ToUpper() on a string reference pointing to null. So, check your code once again.
