SCRIPTING • RUNTIME EXCEPTION ⚠️

NullReferenceException: Object Reference Not Set

Find the exact line number causing the crash, verify Inspector field serialization, and implement safe null conditional operators.

VIEW SOLUTION
SCRIPTING • LIFECYCLE 🛑

MissingReferenceException: Object Destroyed

Prevent accessing destroyed enemy game objects, unhook dead event listeners in OnDisable, and sanitize coroutine loops.

VIEW SOLUTION
PHYSICS • PHYSX ENGINE 🪨

Rigidbody Not Moving or Falling Through Floor

Resolve isKinematic flags, continuous collision detection for fast objects, and avoid Update vs FixedUpdate desyncs.

VIEW SOLUTION
COLLISIONS • TRIGGERS 🛡️

Collider Not Detecting Collisions or Triggers

Audit the 3 golden collision rules: Rigidbody presence, isTrigger boolean matching, and the Physics Layer Collision Matrix.

VIEW SOLUTION
TRIGGERS • CALLBACKS 🎯

Trigger Not Working (OnTriggerEnter Not Firing)

Step-by-step checklist ensuring triggers fire reliably: verify isTrigger check, kinematic Rigidbody on moving triggers, and correct layer masks.

VIEW SOLUTION
MOVEMENT • SCRIPTING 🛑

Unity GameObject Not Moving With Script

Fix script disabled states, speed variable values set to 0 in Inspector, NavMeshAgent fighting Rigidbody, and Rigidbody constraints.

VIEW SOLUTION
MOVEMENT • PHYSICS JITTER 📉

Transform.Translate Stuttering & Jittering Fix

Switch from Transform.Translate to Rigidbody.MovePosition or Rigidbody.linearVelocity in FixedUpdate for buttery smooth 60 FPS physics.

VIEW SOLUTION
INPUT • CONFIGURATION 🎮

InvalidOperationException: Input System Error

Switch Player Settings Active Input Handling to 'Both' or migrate legacy Input.GetAxis to modern InputAction methods.

VIEW SOLUTION
INPUT • MIGRATION 🕹️

Input Manager Deprecation Warning Fix

Upgrade older code bases to eliminate console compiler deprecation warnings and add multi-controller mapping.

VIEW SOLUTION
INPUT • EVENT LOOP ⌨️

Input.GetKey / GetKeyDown Not Working Fix

Move keystroke detection from FixedUpdate to Update, check if full-screen UI canvases block mouse clicks, and test Input System settings.

VIEW SOLUTION
AUDIO • AUDIOLISTENER 🔇

AudioSource Not Playing Sound Fix

Step-by-step checklist to restore sound: verify AudioListener on Camera, check 2D vs 3D spatial blend, and prevent audio cutoff.

VIEW SOLUTION
AUDIO • MODULATION 🐿️

Audio Pitch Too Fast or Distorted Fix

Clamp AudioSource.pitch within safe acoustic limits (0.5 to 2.0) using Mathf.Clamp and normalized speed ratios.

VIEW SOLUTION
AUDIO • SEAMLESS LOOPS 🔁

Audio Clip Not Looping or Pop at Seam Fix

Enable source-level looping, avoid PlayOneShot for looped music/engines, and remove DC offset zero-crossing clicks.

VIEW SOLUTION
PREFABS • WORKFLOW 💾

Unity Prefab Changes Not Saving in Scene

Learn how to properly apply Prefab Overrides to the root asset or edit in Prefab Isolation Mode to prevent lost modifications.

VIEW SOLUTION
MATERIALS • URP SHADERS 🎨

Pink Material or Shader Not Showing Fix

Upgrade materials via Render Pipeline Converter or change shaders to Universal Render Pipeline/Lit in one click.

VIEW SOLUTION
MATERIALS • UV MAPPING 📐

UV Mapping Texture Stretched or Distorted Fix

Adjust texture wrap modes, tiling offset parameters, normal map tangent space recalculation, and non-uniform scale distortion.

VIEW SOLUTION
ANIMATION • MECANIM 🎬

Animator Animation Not Playing or Stuck Fix

Verify Animator state conditions, fix Has Exit Time transition blocking, and trigger animations safely with Animator.StringToHash.

VIEW SOLUTION
SCRIPTING • COMPILER ERROR 💻

CS1061: 'Type' Does Not Contain Definition

Resolve casing mismatches, ensure variables have public or internal access modifiers, and check using directives.

VIEW SOLUTION
SCRIPTING • VEHICLE AUDIO ⚡

EngineController currentSpeed Definition Fix

Expose public getters/properties for currentSpeed in vehicle controllers so audio engines and UI HUDs can read live telemetry.

VIEW SOLUTION
ANDROID • BUILD ERROR 🤖

Android Build Failed: SDK / NDK / JDK Fix

Align command-line Android toolchains, resolve API 34 SDK installation, clean corrupt Library caches, and enforce ARM64 IL2CPP builds.

VIEW SOLUTION
GRADLE • COMPILER ERROR 🐘

Gradle Build Failed: AAPT2 & Manifest Merging Fix

Fix conflicting package dependencies, enable AndroidX multidex support, and customize mainTemplate.gradle safely.

VIEW SOLUTION
PERFORMANCE • MOBILE LAG 🔥

Game Lagging / Low FPS on Android Fix

Recover 60 FPS: lock targetFrameRate, downscale dynamic render scale, replace GC allocations with object pools, and optimize physics frequency.
