Any help with containers?

[FluffytheDreame]

I've been trying to make a container mod for a little bit. I'm usually able to mess around and after some time figure it out and build off what I managed to find and learn, but the containers scripts are giving me a real run for my money, 
now I will admit that I am only a few days into modding for don't starve together I've looked at some scripts that I thought may help Pearl's tacklebox being fairly accurate to what I want the container to act like,

require "prefabutil"

 

local assets =

 

{

    Asset("ANIM", "anim/ui_alterguardianhat_1x1.zip"),

    Asset("INV_IMAGE", "alterguardianhatshard"),

    Asset("INV_IMAGE", "alterguardianhatshard_open"),

    Asset("ANIM", "anim/rocks.zip")

}

 

 

 

 

local function onequip(inst, owner)

 

    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")

    owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")

end

 

local function onunequip(inst, owner)

 

    owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")

    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")

end

 

local function onopen(inst)

 

    if inst:HasTag("burnt") then

        return

    end

end

local function onclose(inst)

    if inst:HasTag("burnt") then

        return

    end

end

        inst.components.container.skipopensnd = true

        inst.components.container.droponopen = true

 

        --]]

 

 

        -- a list of AddComponents if you want to see something that has a few components honestly Gears has a fair few, check there for a bunch of examples

 

 

        inst:AddComponent("inspectable") --can be inspected by the cast

 

 

        MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)

 

 

        return inst

 

    end

-- shows the prefab name, in this case it is Sleept tea, DO NOT CAPITALIZE

return Prefab("briefcase", CreateBriefcase, assets)

I am unsure as to the finer workings and don't QUITE understand how to read the crash messages here is the crash message I am receiving 

https://gyazo.com/4c790466beb465112bfa65f76056e24d
any help is appreciated As I have been caught on this snag for a fair bit now, with no seeming answer in sight

Welcome to the forums!

The error message references two workshop mods (Smarter Crock Pot & Item Info). That does not always mean that the mods are to blame, though in this case, the comments on the Smarter Crock Pot mod page do say it causes crashes. Regardless, you should try to avoid using other mods while developing your own, especially if there's an overlap, as it will make debugging harder.

Happy modding!
