If it's needed I will add the completed script code of the Prefab Replace EditorWindow type.
I packed exported the project to a file and uploaded the packed file it's 31MB only. My unity pack
In EditorWindow script:
for (var i = selection.Count - 1; i >= 0; --i)
{
var selected = selection[i];
_components = selected.GetComponents(typeof(MonoBehaviour));
foreach (var comp in _components)
{
_newObject.Init(comp);
}
}
_newObjectis an instantiated prefab_componentsis aComponent[]array
Using either typeof(MonoBehaviour) or typeof(Component) I will get the same null exception later.
When I'm using a break point to debug I see that in components there are 3 items. And they are not null.
Then I have a Extension class:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using UnityEngine;
public static class Extension
{
public static T AddComponent<T>(this GameObject go, T toAdd) where T : Component
{
return go.AddComponent<T>().GetCopyOf(toAdd);
}
public static void Init<T>(this GameObject go, T comp) where T : Component
{
go.AddComponent(comp);
}
public static T GetCopyOf<T>(this Component comp, T other) where T : Component
{
if (comp != null)
{
Type type = comp.GetType();
if (type != other.GetType()) return null; // type mis-match
const BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly;
var pinfos = type.GetProperties(flags);
foreach (var pinfo in pinfos.Where(pinfo => pinfo.CanWrite))
{
try
{
pinfo.SetValue(comp, pinfo.GetValue(other, null), null);
}
catch { } // In case of NotImplementedException being thrown. For some reason specifying that exception didn't seem to catch it, so I didn't catch anything specific.
}
var finfos = type.GetFields(flags);
foreach (var finfo in finfos)
{
finfo.SetValue(comp, finfo.GetValue(other));
}
}
return comp as T;
}
}
When using a break point I can see that inside the Init method that go and comp are not null. Then it's moving to the top method AddComponent and also there both go and toAdd are not null.
But when it's getting to the method GetCopyOf then comp is null at the first line it's null:
if (comp != null)
Already on this line comp is null. I can't figure out why it's null only at this method.
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
