Adding a new component?

[Polariche]

I've made a custom component and a prefab that uses it, but the game keeps crashing on 'inst:AddComponent("mycomponent")

I've tried deleting everything except the 'Class' part in the component code, and the mod still crashed.

 

This is what the codes look like:

Note: Of course, I'm not using 'mycomponent' and 'myprefab' in the actual mod. I just edited them : )

 

scripts/components/mycomponent.lua:

local Mycomponent = Class(function(self, inst)    self.inst = inst        self.meat = nil    self.spoiltime = nil    self.spoiledproduct = "spoiledfood"    self.inst:AddTag("mycomponent")end)

scripts/prefabs/myprefab.lua:

local assets = {	Asset("ANIM", "anim/skeletons.zip"),}local prefabs ={	"monstermeat"	}local animstates = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6} --not going to use the spear skeleton until anim to take spear is madelocal function onsave(inst, data)	data.anim = inst.animnumendlocal function onload(inst, data)	if data then		if data.anim then			inst.animnum = data.anim			inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle"..inst.animnum)		end	endendlocal function onharvest(inst)	inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle2")endlocal function onspoil(inst)	inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle2")endlocal function fn()	local inst = CreateEntity()	local trans = inst.entity:AddTransform()	local anim = inst.entity:AddAnimState()	MakeObstaclePhysics(inst, 0.25)	inst.animnum = animstates[math.random(#animstates)]	anim:SetBank("skeleton")	anim:SetBuild("skeletons")	anim:PlayAnimation("idle"..inst.animnum)	inst:AddComponent("inspectable")	inst.components.inspectable:RecordViews()	inst.OnLoad = onload	inst.OnSave = onsave	local meat = "monstermeat"	inst:AddComponent("mycomponent")	--inst.components.longpork:SetOnHarvest(onharvest)	--inst.components.longpork:SetOnSpoil(onspoil)	--inst.components.longpork:SetMeat(meat)	return instendreturn Prefab("common/objects/myprefab", fn, assets, prefabs) 

(Yeah, this is just skeleton.lua with a few lines added)

 

 

 

Am I missing something? Am I required to specify the new components somewhere like prefabs? Or is it impossible to add a new component?

Of course you can add a custom component. Just make sure you always write it the exactly same way (you capitalized it in the first line). You make a variable "inst" for "self.inst" but try to do "self.inst" afterwards... change that.

 

Also, do you get an crash-log? (log.txt) That should tell a bit more.

at the end of the component class behind the end)

 

return Mycomponent

It turns out I've forgotten to add 'return Mycomponent' at the end of the script. silly me!

plot twist: The game still crashes even after adding that

 

removing 'self.inst = inst' didn't work, either. I suppose I'll try my luck tomorrow...
