Capsule Hand Error

[DLewIV]

Hey,

I keep getting this error in my Capsule Hand code:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Leap.Unity.CapsuleHand.BeginHand () (at Assets/LeapMotion/Scripts/Hands/CapsuleHand.cs:131)
Leap.Unity.IHandModel.Update () (at Assets/LeapMotion/Scripts/Hands/IHandModel.cs:57)

I am still able to run my programs (I am working in unity). However, I would like to try and solve this problem before I run into any trouble with it. The lines in code it is referencing is below:

public override void BeginHand() {
  base.BeginHand();

  if (hand_.IsLeft) {
    jointMat.color = _leftColorList[_leftColorIndex];
    _leftColorIndex = (_leftColorIndex + 1) % _leftColorList.Length;
  } else {
    jointMat.color = _rightColorList[_rightColorIndex]; //THIS IS LINE 131 WHERE IT IS SAYING THE ERROR IS OCCURRING
    _rightColorIndex = (_rightColorIndex + 1) % _rightColorList.Length;
  }
}

It is coming up for both the Right and Left Capsule Hand. Any help is awesome.

Thank you

-David

You have to add a default material to the "material" parameter of the capsule hand script.

Best

I was facing the exact same problem. It was resolved when I started using the updated version of LeapMotion Core.Asset and Interaction Engine.
