In this episode of the Simple RPG series we refactor a bit of our stat system (woo). We set it up to allow for per-character stat definitions, as well as make it easier to create and query stat data.

Project Repo

In this series we'll be creating an ARPG-style movement system, a world full of interactable objects, NPCs with dialogue, enemies and attacking, an inventory system, portals, and maybe even a questing system.

Learn how to create camera controller that follows the player with simple camera zooming.

Unity 5:

Making an RPG is a pretty daunting task, but Unity allows us to create all of the basic systems of an RPG without much hassle. This unity tutorial covers creating an RPG-esque inventory item that you can consume by "using" it.

For the sake of everyone's sanity... here is the missing secret sauce in the video. I spent 4 hours figuring this out... when you attack the slime and you get a NullReferenceException Error. Adding these two lines of code will fix your error so you can move on.

IWeapon.cs looks like this:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public interface IWeapon {
List<BaseStat> Stats { get; set; }
//THIS IS THE MISSING LINE OF CODE!
CharacterStats characterStats { get; set; }
//MISSING LINE OF CODE END
void PerformAttack();
void PerformSpecialAttack();
}


PlayerWeaponController.cs looks like this:


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerWeaponController : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject playerHand;
public GameObject EquippedWeapon { get; set; }

Transform spawnProjectile;
IWeapon equippedWeapon;
CharacterStats characterStats;

void Start()
{
spawnProjectile =
characterStats =
}

public void EquipWeapon(Item itemToEquip)
{
if (EquippedWeapon != null)
{


}


EquippedWeapon = + itemToEquip.ObjectSlug), playerHand.transform.position,
equippedWeapon =
//THIS IS THE MISSING LINE OF CODE!
equippedWeapon.characterStats = characterStats;
//MISSING LINE OF CODE END
if != null)
= spawnProjectile;
equippedWeapon.Stats = itemToEquip.Stats;




}

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X))
PerformWeaponAttack();
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Z))
PerformWeaponSpecialAttack();
}

public void PerformWeaponAttack()
{

}

public void PerformWeaponSpecialAttack()
{

}

}

i always got NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Item Database.GetItem (System.String itemSlug) (at .cs:29) which causes my inventory to be empty, the sword and potion won't appear. please help me fix this :'/

Why do your videos come in my subscription videos list so late?
I get the email notification, but when I go to subscriptions it's not there until 3-4 days pass.

I'm getting a NullReferenceException when I try to attack the slime. It's saying that CharacterStats on the Sword class is null when it tries to use CharacterStats.GetStat(). I thought it was supposed to get that from PlayerWeaponController, which will get it from Player.

[johnsmith-sgut]

does map design i mean model and texture compatible in mobile without lag?

[edped]

project repo don't run in unity 5.6?

[artohaapanen]

Hi!

What is causing this: 'sword(Clone)' AnimationEvent 'CastProjectile' has no receiver! Are you missing a component?

[TrengoveN]

I have double checked everything i can think of but when i equip the sword and attack the slime it says
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Sword.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider col) (at Assets/Scripts/Sword.cs.33)
I have tried to Debug the issue and when i put in

instead of

i dont get an error and the slime dies....
im using unity 2017 3of3...
any suggestions???

[timbrunettopersonaltrainin]

This line here, is giving me a nightmare. I can't make the system recognize the itemToEquip.Stats no matter what I try. Any suggestions?
