The variable has not been assigned

Question

This code is basically using the code from https://gist.github.com/runewake2/b4b7bf73485222f7c5a0fe0c91dd1322strong text

I have already assigned the variable but still got this error. Can anybody tell me how? I watched this guy tutorial and he did it with this code so there shouldn't be a problem I guess.

Please provide [mcve] and not a link to image of your code... — FCin, Jul 02 '18 at 06:12
1. Please post your code/errors as formatted text instead of a screenshot. 2. Have you tried debugging your code? — Freggar, Jul 02 '18 at 06:12
This question is liable to **downvotes** because you didn't provide a MCVE, and you didn't identify specifically the potential causes of the error. — Ṃųỻịgǻňạcểơửṩ, Jul 02 '18 at 07:15

The problem is that you don't initialize the property private Material material; When you create object like that you create a reference that points to null. In your code you are trying to modify this object but since it's not initialized it's null. The solution is to initialize it in the constructor like so:

public FlowLines() 
{
     this.material = new Material();
}

or `material = this.gameObject.getComponent().material;` – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Jul 02 '18 at 16:41
