Courses Plus Student 13,331 PointsC# error with the Fly Pickup
This is the error with Unity :
UnassignedReferenceException: The variable pickupPrefab of FlyPickup has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the pickupPrefab variable of the FlyPickup script in the inspector.
This is my code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class FlyPickup : MonoBehaviour {
[SerializeField]
private GameObject pickupPrefab;
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
// If the collider : other is tagged with "player"
if (other.CompareTag ("Player")) {
//...add the pickup particles ...
Instantiate(pickupPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}
Please help.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Tojo,
This error is caused by a missing assignment to your pickupPrefab at runtime. You'll need to drag the FlyParticles prefab from the Project window and drop it on the Pickup Prefab property of the Fly Pickup script in the inspector.
Watch the video starting at 4:45 where Nick performs this step.
I hope this helps.
