c# - Unity ADS Object reference not set to an instance of an object error

Question

1. As seen in the photo, when the game is opened for the first time, the advertisement comes, but I don't want it to come.

2. When I click "skull gameobject" in the photo, I want the ad to appear, but I give an error, I could not fix the error and I also want time to stop, but time does not stop. In the 3rd photo, there are AdsScript codes.

#1

#2

#3

public void GameoverPanel()
{
    if (Time.timeScale == 1f)
    {
        gameoverPanel.SetActive(true);
        AdsScript.instance.RequestInterstitial();
    }
    Time.timeScale = 0f;

}



public InterstitialAd interstitial;

void Start()
{
    MobileAds.Initialize(App_ID => { });
    //MobileAds.Initialize(App_ID);

    RequestInterstitial();
}

public void RequestInterstitial()
{
        // Initialize an InterstitialAd.
        this.interstitial = new InterstitialAd(Interstitial_AD_ID);

        AdRequest reguest = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
        this.interstitial.LoadAd(reguest);

        GameOver();
}

public void GameOver()
{
        if (this.interstitial.IsLoaded())
        {
            this.interstitial.Show();
        }
}

Answer 1

If you want to remove ad at the start do not call GameOver method in RequestInterstitial method instead call it in GameoverPanel method. if you wish to load the ad again to show next time the game overs you may want to load it again for example it should be like this:

public void GameoverPanel()
{
    if (Time.timeScale == 1f)
    {
        gameoverPanel.SetActive(true);
        GameOver();
        RequestInterstitial();
    }
    Time.timeScale = 0f;

}

Secondly set Adscript to the public then drag and drop it in the inspector(if ads and GameOverPanel method script are in a different class).
