[help] why is "myPeds" list always null

DCass89

trying to make a simple script to spawn random peds and have them follow me, but myPeds list doesn't get updated?
how can i fix this?
myPeds list is initialized at the top of the class, then as i run SpawnPed() i add them to the list
I then check the list in onTick, but it always return null

[CODE]
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using GTA;
using GTA.Native;
using GTA.Math;

namespace MyFirstScript
{
public class Class1 : Script
{
public int listCount = 0;
List<Ped> myPeds;

    public Class1()
    {
        
        Tick += onTick;
        KeyDown += onKeyDown;
    }

    private void onTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (myPeds != null)
        {
            listCount = myPeds.Count();
        }else
    {
            UI.ShowSubtitle("myPeds is null");
        }

    }

    private void onKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.L)
        {
            SpawnPed();
        }
    }
    public void SpawnPed()
    {
        
        var myPed = World.CreatePed(PedHash.Miranda, Game.Player.Character.GetOffsetInWorldCoords(new Vector3(0, 5, 0)));
        myPeds.Add(myPed);
    }
}

}
[/CODE]

also....how do i correctly use the CODE tag? this doesn't look right lol

You never initialize the myPeds list, so it will always be null. You need to turn

List<Ped> myPeds;

into

List<Ped> myPeds = new List<Ped>();

like in the code I showed above.
