[Mod Help] Custom Character Crashes On Death

[BillBobJoy]

@Cheerio

 

I have a mod that makes a custom character and when he dies and the the score screen is about to pop up I get a crash with this error report.

 

...steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/update.lua:7:calling 'SetActiveAreaCenterpoint' on bad self (number expected, got nil)

LUA ERROR stack traceback:

=[C] in function 'SetActiveAreaCenterpoint'

C:/Program Files (x84)/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/update.lua(7,1)

 

when I looked at the update script it seemed like it was the part of the code for keeping the collision mask on point but when the character dies he doesn't have a position anymore because he is dead. How would I fix this issue?

@Ipsquiggle, I was reading the "MAKING_MODS" txt and I was wondering if you might be able to lend some advice on this crash bug

Finally found a Fix

local function dummy(inst)	if GetPlayer() then		local x,y,z = GetPlayer().Transform:GetWorldPosition()			if x == nil and y == nil and z == nil then				TheSim:SetActiveAreaCenterpoint(10,10,10)			end		TheSim:SetActiveAreaCenterpoint(x,y,z)	endendlocal fn = function(inst)		-- If die put somewhere temp	inst:ListenForEvent("LuaWallUpdate", dummy)	end
