Need help making a weird and useless mod.

[Boogiepop210]

So, i've been making a mod that causes entities to shoot projectiles randomly when they die, for some reason none of my print statements work so I'm guessing i messed something up on the ListenForEvent

modmain.lua

It doesn't crash me or anything, it just does nothing. I'm not very good at modding so this is probably something very simple. Also i looked at the logs and nothing was wrong.

I would use AddPrefabPostInitAny in this case but it has wide scope and sometimes extraneous stuff, so be careful when using it
 

Spoiler

AddPrefabPostInitAny(function(inst)
if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
   return inst
end
if inst:HasTag("_combat") then
   inst:ListenForEvent("death", function(inst) print("hello7") z_shootprojectiles("fire_projectile", inst, 15, 3, 1, math.random(0, 360), false, inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()) end)
end

end)

end

end)

 

Thanks, the code worked perfectly. (after some fixes with globals on my function)
