How can I make my custom item break when haunted to resurrect?

[Sinaboo]

I've made a custom item that revives the player when they haunt it as a ghost and that works fine, but i'd like to make it so that the item breaks or disappears so that it's a one-time use item because right now it has infinite uses and I don't want that.

item script (lines 45-47 are the lines i used for resurrection)

How can I make it so that my custom item breaks when I haunt it and resurrect?

take a look at the hauntable component file.
There you see functions like SetOnHauntFn and SetOnUnHauntFn , you can use them to define a function that is called onhaunt or on unhaunt (when haunting expires). So you could give them a function that does "inst:Remove()" to remove the item.  If you also want some effects you could spawn a "puff" prior to removing with SpawnPrefab("collapse_small").Transform:SetPosition((inst:GetPosition()):Get())  (code not tested, I think it works that way, but no 100% sure)
See the notes from the devs within the component, the onhaunt function has to return true at the end.

See the prefab resurrectionstone.lua for an example.

local function OnHaunt(inst, haunter)
        SpawnPrefab("collapse_small").Transform:SetPosition((inst:GetPosition()):Get())
        inst:Remove()
    end

I've used this code for when my character haunts my item and the puff works and the item disappears but now whenever I haunt my item it doesn't resurrect my player. Do you know what might be causing this or is there something i'm missing that's supposed to go inside that function? I've tried looking in items that revive the player like touch stones, telltale hearts and the life giving amulet but I can't find out what I need to make my item resurrect my player again.

I told you the function has to return true

You can see why in the hauntable component, this is the function that is called there:
 

function Hauntable:DoHaunt(doer)
    if self.onhaunt ~= nil then
        self.haunted = self.onhaunt(self.inst, doer) -- this is your function, and self.haunted will get the value your function returns
        if self.haunted then -- if your function returns nothing (nil) or false, this wont be executed
            if doer ~= nil then
                if self.hauntvalue == TUNING.HAUNT_INSTANT_REZ and doer:HasTag("playerghost") then -- and therefore also you ressecurect wont be executed
                    doer:PushEvent("respawnfromghost", { source = self.inst })
                end
                if not self.no_wipe_value then
                    self.hauntvalue = nil
                end
            end
            if self.cooldown_on_successful_haunt then
                self.cooldowntimer = self.cooldown or TUNING.HAUNT_COOLDOWN_MEDIUM
                self:StartFX(true)
                self:StartShaderFx()
                self.inst:StartUpdatingComponent(self)
            end
        else
            self.haunted = true
            self.cooldowntimer = self.cooldown or TUNING.HAUNT_COOLDOWN_SMALL
            self:StartFX(true)
            self:StartShaderFx()
            self.inst:StartUpdatingComponent(self)
        end
    end
end
