How do I call the function?

[trail shard]

Script that calls the function(Attached to GameObject):

using UnityEngine;


public class Strong_Punch_Card : MonoBehaviour, IAbility_Use
{
    private Hitbox_Module HitBoxM_Reference;

    private void Awake()
    {
        HitBoxM_Reference = new Hitbox_Module();
    }

    public void Use_Ability(Humanoid_Stats Entity_Stats)
    {
        if (Entity_Stats.StunnedTime > 0 || Entity_Stats.IsUsingAbility == true) return;

        GameObject Character = Entity_Stats.gameObject;

        Vector3 HPosition = Character.transform.position + Character.transform.forward * 2;
        Vector3 HSize = new Vector3(2f, 2f, 3f);
        Quaternion HRotation = Character.transform.rotation;

        Collider[] HitboxReturns = HitBoxM_Reference.Create_Box_Hitbox(HPosition, HSize, HRotation);
    }
}

Script that has the function(not attached to any GameObject):

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.TextCore.Text;

public class Hitbox_Module : ScriptableObject
{
    public GameObject Box_Hitbox;

    public Collider[] Create_Box_Hitbox(Vector3 Size, Vector3 Position, Quaternion Rotation)
    {
        if (Box_Hitbox == null || Size == null || Position == null) return null;


        Collider[] HitBox_Victims = Physics.OverlapBox(Position, Size/2, Rotation);

        if (Box_Hitbox != null)
        {
            GameObject NewHitBox = Instantiate(Box_Hitbox, Position, Rotation);
            NewHitBox.transform.localScale = Size;
        }



        return HitBox_Victims;
    }
}

assuming you mean Create_Box_Hitbox, well, you have a reference to a Hitbox_Module, so just call it on that

you seem to already be doing that...

[trail shard]

It does seems like that, but then what is the reason for this error?

[trail shard]

Here is where the error happens, line 25: cs Collider[] HitboxReturns = HitBoxM_Reference.Create_Box_Hitbox(HPosition, HSize, HRotation);

[trail shard]

Is the thing returning wrong?

I will try something tomorrow

[vague maple]

then HitBoxM_Reference is null. have you assigned it?

also for future reference,

!code

How does one assign it

I cant drag it there using public

[vague maple]

what's preventing you from doing so

[trail shard]

its not attached to any GameObject

and I cant drag the script asset there

Attaching it to an empty will allow me to reference it, yet the script that needs it is in assets too

[vague maple]

then you wouldn't have a Strong_Punch_Card to begin with

are you just doing AddComponent

or what

[trail shard]

its a prefab

[vague maple]

then you can assign it on the prefab

the prefab is a gameobject too

it's just not a gameobject in the scene

[trail shard]

I add the module to the prefab?

[vague maple]

that's the thing with the component, isn't it

[trail shard]

yes

Actually that

is genius

thanks

I guess that is all

[vague maple]

this is normal serialized references lol
