Need help fixing a crash related to follower that's able to hold stuff

[beforeidecay96]

I'm trying to get my follower to act as a container the same way chester does. I got it to work when I play on a server alone, but I'm getting this error when I try to play with my sister and one of us tries to click on the follower to open the container:

Can anyone help me with this error?

EDIT: It seems to only crash when someone other than the host tries to open a followers container menu.

I remember having this problem with my chest mod, and this is what I was told to do, I guess you can try it.. :

local containers = GLOBAL.require("containers")
local oldwidgetsetup = containers.widgetsetup

containers.widgetsetup = function(container, prefab, data)
    prefab = "PUTCONTAINERNAMEHERE" --replace with ur container prefab name
    oldwidgetsetup(container, prefab, data)
end

Where am I supposed to put it at? Modmain?

Your code will broke some container else like cookpot.

Put this code to your prefab file in local function fn(Sim)

if not TheWorld.ismastersim then	
   inst.OnEntityReplicated = function(inst) 
      inst.replica.container:WidgetSetup("chester") 
   end	
   return inst
end

Or you can use this in modmain:
 

local containers = GLOBAL.require("containers")
local oldwidgetsetup = containers.widgetsetup
containers.widgetsetup = function(container, prefab)    
	if not prefab and container.inst.prefab == "yourcontainername" then        
		prefab = "chester"    
	end    
	oldwidgetsetup(container, prefab)
end

It worked! Thank you so much for your help! And thanks to zUsername as well! I really appreciate you both taking the time to help me~ ^w^

Alright, I thought it fixed the crock pot container issue, but it really didn't. The crock pot still acts like a chest. I tried using both of zUsername's codes they gave me, but it still doesn't work. Maybe I'm just putting them in wrong...

Can anyone help me?
