Symptoms
When trying to enter play mode, I'm receiving the error below:
error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic
field, method, or property `___'
Cause
The CS0236 error is caused when a non-local variable references a non-static variable. See the example below:
Instance Variables should not be assigned this way.
Here is how the error appears in this example:
error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic
field, method, or property `ExampleScript.playerObj'
Resolution
The error CS0236 is resolved by assigning the reference in a method such as Start() or Awake(). See below:
