Help with DST Inventory Mod

[PWNAMATRON]

So I am trying to make a mod that automatically sorts your inventory into a particular order for you (similar to the Sort Mod in DS but I wasn't able to port that directly over without making huge changes to it so I decided to start from scratch).  I only know basic programming so it took me a while to figure out what I was doing, but I think I am close now.

 

My biggest problem is knowing the correct syntax to call the functions in inventory_replica and container_replica.  Here is an example of what I have tried:

 

local HaveBackpack = ThePlayer.components.inventory_replica.Inventory:GetGetOverflowContainer()

backpackcopy = HaveBackpack.components.container_replica.Container:GetItems()

 

I've attached the modmain file so anyone who is interested can look at the context of what I am talking about, feel free to lmk if you want access to the entire mod.  I have a feeling my syntax is just terribly wrong (and I probably should know how to use self and inst properly too )

 

Anyway, thanks for the help!
