Hey I think I am running into an instantiation issue, I currently have a set of abilities that from within a list that can be interchagably swapped out on the fly. but none of the abilities can even instantiate or are returning null. Is this because of a parenting issue? Currently the script will is sitting on the parent of the child it's instantiating. I don't really know if this is a beginner or higher question
The Prefabs are properly attached, but never instantiate, did I mess up my code? I don't believe this is an inspector issue.

Where in code exactly do you get the null?

private void UseAbility(int slotIndex)
{
Debug.Log($"Attempting to use Ability {slotIndex + 1}");
IAbility ability = abilityManager.GetEquippedAbility(slotIndex);
if (ability != null && ability.CanUse)
{
Debug.Log($"Activating {ability.AbilityName}");
ability.Activate(firePoint, ability.AbilityPrefab, ability.AbilityForce);
StartCoroutine(ability.CooldownRoutine());
}
else
{
Debug.Log($"Ability {slotIndex + 1} is either null or cannot be used.");
}
}```Is it actually null or CanUse is false? You should debug this kind of conditions thoroughly.
