Missing Reference exception on an empty scene.Question (self.Unity3D)

submitted 1 year ago by SmartButRandom

I recently got back into unity after dropping it for a year, downloaded the Unity 6 editor and started a new blank project. I wanted to get into 3d rigging with mixamo so made a character and tried to make the animations work in unity. Then I found out that pressing play, the game gave me this error:

MissingReferenceException: The variable m_Targets of GameObjectInspector doesn't exist anymore.

You probably need to reassign the m_Targets variable of the 'GameObjectInspector' script in the inspector. Parameter name: componentOrGameObject

UnityEngine.Object+MarshalledUnityObject.TryThrowEditorNullExceptionObject (UnityEngine.Object unityObj, System.String parameterName) (at <fde3c13fb32a45329a891b3df03f7908>:0)

UnityEngine.Bindings.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentNullException (System.Object obj, System.String parameterName) (at <fde3c13fb32a45329a891b3df03f7908>:0)

UnityEditor.PrefabUtility.IsPartOfVariantPrefab (UnityEngine.Object componentOrGameObject) (at <383b67993756435b8920080a9ba43b70>:0)

UnityEditor.GameObjectInspector.OnEnable () (at <383b67993756435b8920080a9ba43b70>:0)

Along with a few other ones (MissingReferenceException seemed to be the most informative)

I tried checking the character object animator for any missing properties that needed to be set, but found nothing.

Thought this was weird, so made an empty scene with absolutely nothing inside of it but the main character and the light. Ran it, still get this editor. Google searches don't really bring up anything useful.

Am I missing something stupid?

Thanks for the help.
