Deequip suddenly broken for no perceivable reason

[Delly182]

I'm working on a mod character and had functionality that would deequip armor from my character if it is not a type that can be worn upon equipping said armor. The method I was using was fully functional until today. I am using a table of item prefab names to tell what armor was not allowed and have a line for listening for equip events that calls to the deequip method.

This is the method:

local function armorNotAllowed (inst, data)
    local item = data.item
    if table.contains(no_wear, item.prefab ) then
        inst:PushEvent("unequip",inst)
        inst.components.inventory:DropItem(item)
        inst.components.talker:Say("I'd rather die than wear that thing.")
    end
end

 

There error in question occurs upon trying to equip a rejected armor type and is in the attached image.
 

Does anyone know why this is occurring or how I can fix it?

Additionally, line 111 is  inst:PushEvent("unequip",inst)

Here is the complete playerinspectable.lua

local EQUIPSLOT_IDS = {}local slot = 0for k, v in pairs(EQUIPSLOTS) do    slot = slot + 1    EQUIPSLOT_IDS[v] = slotendslot = nillocal function OnEquip(inst, data)    inst.Network:SetPlayerEquip(EQUIPSLOT_IDS[data.eslot], data.item:GetSkinName() or data.item.prefab)endlocal function OnUnequip(inst, data)    inst.Network:SetPlayerEquip(EQUIPSLOT_IDS[data.eslot], "")endlocal PlayerInspectable = Class(function(self, inst)    self.inst = inst    inst:ListenForEvent("equip", OnEquip)    inst:ListenForEvent("unequip", OnUnequip)end)return PlayerInspectable

When this component is attached to an entity, this entity will listen for the event "unequip".

 

In your armorNotAllowed function, you push this event, and give as data "inst".

Lne 14 of playerinspectable.lua is then executed and is trying to get

EQUIPSLOT_IDS[data.eslot]

but data is "inst" in your function and has no member called "eslot". Thus the error "number expected, got nil".

 

Remove this line, it's useless. When dropping the item, the unequip event will automatically be pushed with the proper data.

The issue is resolved and I understand what I did wrong! Thanks for the detailed response!

You're welcome. I prefer trying to explain what was the issue and work with what was already done, instead of just throwing a bunch of code without any explanation. It's more helpful on the long term.
