Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I'm trying to access the "CheckTime.cs" script to see if it is day time or night time. But I keep getting this error.
What I'm doing wrong with get component?


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UiExample.Start () (at Assets/WeatherReport/Examples/UiExample.cs:88) line 7


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start()

7.         isDayTimes = goFindCamera.GetComponent<CheckTime> ();
8.         if (goFindCamera)
9.         {
10.          Debug.Log (" found main camera with check time script");
11.  
12.         }
13.         else if (! goFindCamera)
14.         {

Your variable isDayTime, is that of type CheckTime?

Paste your variable so I can see how you're creating your handle.

Anytime you see that error it's due to the fact that the component isn't being reached.

You're assigning a variable (unknown type) to a type CheckTime.

Otherwise,

Try:

private CheckTime isDayTimes;

start()
{
isDayTimes = GameObject.Find("MainCamera").GetComponent<CheckTime>();
}

Also, check the spelling of the gameObject you're trying to find.

You would change your null check to:

if (isDayTime != null)
debug.log

 

CheckTime is a script I'm trying to access through posted code. isDayTime is a public bool in CheckTime.cs. The CheckTime script is on the main camera. isDayTimes is the variable part for posted code as public CheckTime isDayTimes.Too late to test will try later.

 

"MainCamera" was supposed to be "Main Camera". lol
