Global events?

[Random Guy000]

So im trying to make a mod, and push an event so that when thing A happens to, say, Ben, Steve would react and do thing B.

So I do something like this

inst:ListenForEvent("PlayerGotNewItem", function(inst,data)
    if BingoMode --[[a mod setting]] == 2 then
      do things
    	if data.namecalled --[[data from push event, gives the name of the player who triggered it]] ~= ThePlayer.name then
      		do stuff
        end
    end
end)

But even the first check only works for me, other players don't pass it, that's what I want to fix

How can I fix this and what am I doing wrong?

I need to do stuff to all players, besides the one who triggered the PushEvent, in simple words

You can use the table AllPlayers to do stuff for all players

for _, player in pairs(AllPlayers) do
    print(player.prefab)
end

Every value in this table is a player entity.

Can you help me with this error?

-- PushEvent code
TheWorld:PushEvent("PlayerGotNewItem", {guy = ThePlayer, itemcalled = item, slotcalled = k})
-- Listner code
	TheWorld:ListenForEvent("PlayerGotNewItem", function(inst, data)
		if BingoMode == 2 then
			for _, player in pairs(AllPlayers) do
				if player ~= data.guy then
					for k,v in pairs(player.components.itemTableHandler.globList) do -- This line causes the crash
						if v == data.itemcalled then
							if player.components.itemTableHandler.globTagger[k] ~= -1 then
								player.components.itemTableHandler.globTagger[k] = -1
								player.components.itemTableHandler:evaluateList()
								player.components.talker:Say("Slot #" .. k .. ", " .. v ..", is now locked")
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)

It seems that one of the players don't have the component? How did that happen? Did you forget to add the component to the player?

Can't really be it? Most of the code isn't mine, but even these chunks that I use here are repurpoused from the original code, which works just fine

I've only switched "ThePlayer" to "player"

Maybe it has to do with the fact that the original mod was client based?

Aha, I see why it crashed, you cannot access components on the client side unless a replica component is made for clients, so it crashed trying to access a component

Ok, so I figured something pretty similar to that

The code that I sent was a part of a class, which was local, so naturally I just cut the local out

It still crashes though, same error and all. Any suggestions on fixing that?
