[Mod Help] Custom Character Crashes In The Summer Right Before Rain Starts In RoG

[BillBobJoy]

Hello, I have realized sometimes when I am playing during the summer I get this crash. I have looked over the log and when the game tries to start making it rain something goes wrong. I have looked and I honestly don't understand what's wrong.

 

This is the Crash:

 

...ont_starve/data/scripts/components/seasonmanager.lua:218: attempt to index field 'SoundEmitter' (a nil value)

LUA ERROR stack traceback:

        C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/components/seasonmanager.lua(218,1) in function 'OnRainStart'

The attachment isn't working and didn't post the actual error message (the line right before LUA ERROR stack traceback: is the error).

@squeek I edited the post and I'll do the attachment again

...ont_starve/data/scripts/components/seasonmanager.lua:218: attempt to index field 'SoundEmitter' (a nil value)

you missed 1 line in your first post

[BillBobJoy]

@iWitch  yeah I missed it but I edited it in now lol XD

[squeek]

I do not know how that error is possible. It's saying that the world has no SoundEmitter.

You'd have to be like... adding the seasonmanager component to an entity without a sound emitter, or... removing the sound emitter from the world prefab.

[BillBobJoy]

@squeek That's what I thought here is my mod

 

mrgmview.zip

 

other than that, do you think it's a game bug?

 

The prefab "mrhat" has the season manager but as I said, I only get crashes in the middle summer and they happen with or without that item.

Haha, well that solves that then. You should never add the seasonmanager component to anything except the world prefab. Basically, unless you're creating new world types, you should never add the seasonmanager to anything.

In looking at your code, I'm unsure why you thought you needed it.

@squeek

I have not had that issue before, I use the component to differentiate between seasons.

the character himself, prefab mr7 has had it since I started the mod

[squeek]

You don't need the seasonmanager on a prefab to be able to differentiate between seasons. The function GetSeasonManager() can be called from anywhere and gives you the world's seasonmanager component for you to differentiate between seasons with.

The seasonmanager component is written to only work when added to the world prefab and it's written so that there should only be one seasonmanager component that exists at a time. The name should give that away. You don't want your player or your hat to manage the seasons. That doesn't make any sense.

So I can just remove

 

inst:AddComponent("seasonmanager")

 

and it will work the same?

If you forgot a word and that was meant to say "So I can just remove inst:AddComponent("seasonmanager") and it will work the same?", then yes. Remove it from mrhat and mr7. Edited March 14, 2014 by squeek

Yes I forgot that word, my bad getting late where I live, 3 AM, been trying to fix this for hours.

I am trying your suggestion out and thins seem to be going OK, right now I have the game running testing to see what happens.
