[Help] Adding Enlightened Crown Damage To Moded Character

[Doodle Monster]

Hi! So as the title says i'm trying to add the gestalt attack to my moded character. Here's my function and where it's called.

Right now it's crashing and I think it also isn't runing my other function that spawns fx when she's above a sanity threashold. Any help would be really awesome! I do plan on releaseing her to the workshop along with Wramp, so stay tuned for that.

local function WendalynGestaltAttack(inst, owner, data, target)

    if owner ~= nil and (owner.components.health == nil or not owner.components.health:IsDead()) then

            local target = data.target

            if target and target ~= owner and target:IsValid() and (target.components.health == nil or not target.components.health:IsDead() and not target:HasTag("structure") and not target:HasTag("wall")) then

 

                -- In combat, this is when we're just launching a projectile, so don't spawn a gestalt yet

                if data.weapon ~= nil and data.projectile == nil

                        and (data.weapon.components.projectile ~= nil

                            or data.weapon.components.complexprojectile ~= nil

                            or data.weapon.components.weapon:CanRangedAttack()) then

                    return

                end

 

                local x, y, z = target.Transform:GetWorldPosition()

 

                local gestalt = SpawnPrefab("alterguardianhat_projectile")

                local r = GetRandomMinMax(3, 5)

                local delta_angle = GetRandomMinMax(-90, 90)

                local angle = (owner:GetAngleToPoint(x, y, z) + delta_angle) * DEGREES

                gestalt.Transform:SetPosition(x + r * math.cos(angle), y, z + r * -math.sin(angle))

                gestalt:ForceFacePoint(x, y, z)

                gestalt:SetTargetPosition(Vector3(x, y, z))

                gestalt.components.follower:SetLeader(owner)

 

            if owner.components.sanity ~= nil then

                owner.components.sanity:DoDelta(-1, true) -- using overtime so it doesnt make the sanity sfx every time you attack

            end

        end

    end

end

Here's where it's being called along with my other Fx function

inst.components.combat.onhitotherfn = WendalynMoonWeaponFx

 

    inst.components.combat.onhitotherfn = WendalynGestaltAttack

If you need my mod to look at I can provide my prefab files and such. Again, any help would be really appreciated! 

Here's the characters i'm working on! just incase anyone was interested.

Okay, I got it to not crash. However my oth er FX function isn't being called and the gestalt attack isn't working either. Here's my updated prefab file for the character.
