What script has the error, and what object has this script

[obtuse grove]

"Grenade" has the error, and the prefab "Grenade Variant" has this script.

(the grenade script.)

[tired spindle]

Okay. And does Grenade Variant have a GrenadeSound script

[obtuse grove]

no

[tired spindle]

Then this line:

[obtuse grove]

it gets it via getcomponent.

or it should do.

[obtuse grove]

yes

I'm trying to get the script.

[tired spindle]

This line is saying "Get the GrenadeSound component from the object I am on, and store it in a variable named grenadeSound"

Now, Grenade Variant is the object this script is on

Correct?

[obtuse grove]

yes

And "GrenadeSound (Game Object)" is the object that "GrenadeSound" is on.

[tired spindle]

So, if you say "Please give me the GrenadeSound component of the Grenade Variant object", what do you think happens

[obtuse grove]

null

[tired spindle]

Exactly

[obtuse grove]

what am I supposed to do then?

[tired spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

What GrenadeSound do you want

Should this object have one?

[obtuse grove]

I mean it's outside of a prefab.

[obtuse grove]

no

[tired spindle]

Only you can answer

[obtuse grove]

because it gets destroyed.

[tired spindle]

So, which one do you want

[obtuse grove]

I wanna play the sound.

not play it and then destroy it lol.

[tired spindle]

Which GrenadeSound do you want to access

[obtuse grove]

its source?

or what

do you mean?

[tired spindle]

Which GrenadeSound do you want to access

That's what I mean

This is a component

that could be on any object

Which one

[obtuse grove]

this game object.

[tired spindle]

Okay, so, now you need your Grenade script to have a reference to this object

[obtuse grove]

which isn't possible via the inspector.

so how

?

There are many ways to do this. Just skip the one you can't do (dragging it in)

[obtuse grove]
