I'm getting an error message: "IsFinite(outDistanceForSort)" after adding the particles to the game.

Question

After I added the Instantiate method call to the FlyPickup script to show the particle emitter, I started getting the following error message just after the particles disappear:

IsFinite(outDistanceForSort) UnityEngine.Camera:Render() UnityStandardAssets.Water.Water:OnWillRenderObject() (at Assets/Standard Assets/Environment/Water/Water/Scripts/Water.cs:108)

Any ideas how to fix this or what I may have done wrong? I checked my code several times and I don't see a problem. The error message repeats around 236 times and then stops. I say around because sometimes it's 235 or 237 or 238; but it's always in that range. The error message repeats every time the particles fade out. I added the PickupParticlesDestruction script and the errors only appear the one time.

The frog continues to move around as usual and the error message never returns but I'm thinking if I add the code to spawn additional flies that I'll get these errors after every fly is removed and the particle completes its display cycle.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same error but mine repeats 548 times. If you already have the solution please notify me.

My script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PickupParticlesDestruction : MonoBehaviour {

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        //Destroy the pickup particles after 5 seconds
        Destroy (gameObject, 5f); 
    }


}

No, I never got a response and I didn't find anything to correct the problem.
