Prefab saving issue -

[SamWal21]

Hi There,
I had prefab saving working...but now it is throwing an error and I am not sure why or what I have changed.... I have tried refreshing the reference manager but that hasn't solved it.

Here is the error message: NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.

This is coming from ES2ReferenceMgrBase.cs:244

The code calling this is:
prefabSaveList = ES3.Load<List<GameObject>>("prefabInstances", $"{currentLoadSlot}/{filename}");

The save part of the above code is:
ES3.Save("prefabInstances", prefabSaveList, $"{CurrentSaveSlot}/{filename}");

Any ideas - I am hoping it is me just being dumb and an easy fix!

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

Please could you post the full error with stack trace.

Hi Joel,

I have attached a snip of the stack trace, hope that is ok.

I thought I had found the issue which is that at runtime the ES3 reference Manager is adding in an additional ES3Prefab reference which isn't referencing anything - see the second attachment called "issue.PNG". However the problem has weirdly fixed itself (it is now loading in the prefabs without errors) even though it is still adding it that null reference ES3prefab...

I am a bit confused but for now at least it seems to be working...

If you realise the issue please let me know, otherwise I will just continue with it as it is seeing as it is working - I don't really like not know what the issue was/is though.

Kind Regards,

Sam

Are you using the latest version? The line numbers don't appear to line up with the latest version, and there was a bug fix for something similar in a previous version.

All the best,
Joel
