Assertion failed on GetPosition()?

[SenL]

Hi, I started playing again and my mod "Groot" crashes on 1st day of summer because the character sheds random item each day of summer. It used to work many months ago. Below is the error log and below that is the code snippet.

 

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

 

Error log:

Fixed.

I copied pigking.lua

 

local function DropAnItem(inst, prefab)

    local itemtoshed = SpawnPrefab(prefab)

local pos = Vector3(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())

    itemtoshed.Transform:SetPosition(pos.x + math.random()*2 - 1, 1, pos.z + math.random()*2 - 1)

end

 

If not correct, please let me know.

Thanks.
