W8 for that.. hope u make a nice database tutorial for the inventory and if possible a character windows to use items

 

I am enjoying the tutorial, keep up the good work.

I hope this thread is still running. So here's my problem... I am working through tutorial 3 in the series but have a error I picked in tutorial 2 regarding the reading of Json files. The error is as follows

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ItemDatabase.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/ItemDatabase.cs:21)

Here is the fragment of code it refers to:

void Start()
{
itemData = JsonMapper.ToObject(File.ReadAllText(Application.dataPath + "/StreamingAssets/items.json"));

Debug.Log(FetchItemByID(1).Description);

}

public Item FetchItemByID(int id) // (This is line 21)
{
for (int i = 0; i < database.Count; i++)
{
if (database.ID == id)
return database;
}
return null;
}

I have spent some hours looking into possible sources, but the code for the ItemDatabse class is free of syntax errors. I am using visual studio 2015 and the Litjson.dll is attached in the unity editor and is referenced in the VS studio. SO I 'm a little stuck.

Any pointers or suggestions are welcome.
