It s the same error whenever my raycast

[outer dome]

If you are using the ToonObject more than once it might be betetr to just TryGetComponent once from the first raycast, that way you don't need to try and get it multibel times

Like this? https://gdl.space/tamehemepi.cs

Alright, I tried this but it had the same result as "GetComponent"

As in, the same error

[outer dome]

Ok just a sec

[charred dock]

Alright.

[outer dome]

Something like this maybe

[charred dock]

What’s the difference between what I did and this code?

[outer dome]

In your code you still had the TryGetComponent in the if-statement

[charred dock]

Oh, I meant between that and this*, sorry

[charred dock]

Ohh, I must’ve forgot to remove that. Yeah it says “already defined within this scope” and it causes a compiler error anyways.

I don’t think the issue is with the get component anyways, since the “if (input.getbuttondown)” statement doesn’t return any errors, only the other two statements below it.

[outer dome]

The two last if-statements?

[charred dock]

No, only the two last if statements that reference “paintable”

The “if (painted.collider != currentTarget” can be ignored, sorry for the confusion

[outer dome]

Ah ok, ill take a look again

[charred dock]

It’s fine, it was my bad

[outer dome]

Oh its because you try to get it, if you don't get it you still move on to the if statements, ```cs
// Basically this is kinda what is going on
TryGetComponent(out ToonObject paintable) (null)

if (paintable.triggered) (paintable == null)
// If paintable == null from the beginning you cant get anything from them but you still try to get something

Not sure how good of an explanation this is

[charred dock]

So, I need to "return" or do something similiar if I don't get it?

[outer dome]

Im not sure if this would work, but could be worth a try

if (Physics.Raycast(finder, out painted, range, obstructionMask) && TryGetComponent(out ToonObject paintable))```

[charred dock]

painted.transform.TryGetComponent(out ToonObject paintable)
if (paintable == null)
{
   return;
}

if (paintable.triggered)
{
}

[outer dome]

If that works like I thing it should only run the code if it gets the Toonobject

[outer dome]

That would also work

[charred dock]

thank you so much, this was causing 1000s of errors per second, it should work perfectly now!

yep, it works. once again, thank you so much for your time.

i'll also try your method instead of using return because it seems like better practice
