Need a Bit of Help

[Nycidian]

I'm currently trying to build a mod that auto populates a table of all the spawnable prefabs in the game but I can't seem to get a function working that will return a boolean value if the prefab is spawnable

 

I based this off of the SpawnPrefabFromSim() function which seems to be able to check what I want

local function checkPrefab(prefab)    if prefab == nil or prefab =="rubble" then			return false    end        local inst = prefab.fn(TheSim)    if inst ~= nil then                    return true    else  		print( "Does not exist", name )    	return false     endendfor key,value in pairs(GLOBAL.Prefabs) do 		print(checkPrefab(value))end

This should return true or false as a list for each prefab but instead it crashes.

..data/scripts/components/named.lua:28: bad argument #1 to 'upper' (string expected, got nil)

LUA ERROR stack traceback:

Anyone have any suggestions? It would be much appreciated.

Could you upload your whole mod for me to take a look?

The same error happens if you just try and spawn the prefab so I think you've just found a prefab that's actually broken and doesn't get used in the game.  I think you'll just have to skip over it when iterating through the prefabs.

Before I reply let me say I appreciate the help.

 

Alright I figured out that problem but ended up with another one which I again fixed and ended up with a final problem that I can't figure out here is the updated mod and the crash log. The game is completely crashing after successfully checking hundreds of prefabs I'm not sure why.

Edit: NM, I figured out how to do it piece meal. Thanks for all of the help.
