null reference exception array 2d

Question

ive got this class it has one 2dArray and when im trying to fill it im getting the error NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object AdminGrid.FullNot(Int32 Row, Int32 Column, Int32 Full, System.String PieceName)

public class AdminGrid : MonoBehaviour {

    public int numRows;
    public int numColumns;
    private int[,] ArrayGrid;
    // Use this for initialization
    void Init() {
                numColumns = 6;
                numRows = 6;
        ArrayGrid = new int[numRows,numColumns];

        for(int y = 0;y < numRows;y++)
        {
            for(int x = 0;x < numColumns;x++)
            {
                ArrayGrid[y,x] = 0; 
            }
        }
    }

    public void FullNot(int Row,int Column,int Full,string PieceName)
    {   
        ArrayGrid[Row,Column] = 1;//Error is here
    }

    public int WhatsonGrid(int Row,int Col)
    {
        return ArrayGrid[Row,Col];
    }
}

Any idea why this is happening? as you can see my array is filled with 0s i thought that would fix this but it seems like not,also i made sure the values are inside the array meaning the max for columns and rows are 5,5

im using the engine Unity so Init //actually called start

it gets called when the game starts as a rule thats why im pretty sure it is called

@Makenshi - As others asked already - please post the code where you call FullNot and the few lines before (also where you call Init, if possible). — Oded

Sorry as i added im using the engine Unity so Init is called automatically so theres no doubt its being called or so i thought it seems it is just printing 2 values — Makenshi

ArrayGrid is a reference-type field, so will be null by default, so I conclude simply: you haven't called Init. So: call Init.

init is called im pretty sure of it

Marc Gravell Over a year ago

@Makenshi where is it called? If I'd had been called, the array would be non-null. It is the not reference here; not really much doubt...

ok the error was Init was being called at the same time as another inits somehow and so it was filling the array with garbage sorry

Rename Init with AdminGrid and all will be fine )


public AdminGrid()
