Need help with a custom item

[synthmilieu]

I'm trying to add a sword item to a character I'm making for their starting item that functions similarly to Lucy in the sense that it has dialgue. But I keep getting errors claiming that its say function is nil even after I defined the strings in the mainmod.lua. My dialogue code is basically just a mismatched version of Lucy's.

am I doing it wrong?

@synthmilieu Do you have a function called Say in that script?

 

(copied from sentientaxe.lua)

function SentientAxe:Say(list, sound_override)    self.sound_override = sound_override    self.inst.components.talker:Say(list[math.random(#list)])    self.time_to_convo = math.random(60, 120)end

Welp, I'm an idiot missed a few lines I needed.
