Companion

[devon7600]

My companion for my mod is acting a bit wonky, but fine until I attack it. When I attack it my game crashes and I get this

Can I get some help?

You put a string instead of a table for loot.

local function linktoplayer(inst, player)
	inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot("LOOT")
    inst.persists = false
    inst._playerlink = player
    player.edwin = inst
    player.components.leader:AddFollower(inst, true)
    for k, v in pairs(player.edwin_summons) do
        k:Refresh()
    end
    player:ListenForEvent("onremove", unlink, inst)
end
	
local LOOT = {"edwin_summon"}

should be

local LOOT = {"edwin_summon"}

local function linktoplayer(inst, player)
	inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot(LOOT)
    inst.persists = false
    inst._playerlink = player
    player.edwin = inst
    player.components.leader:AddFollower(inst, true)
    for k, v in pairs(player.edwin_summons) do
        k:Refresh()
    end
    player:ListenForEvent("onremove", unlink, inst)
end

So you give the table on the variable LOOT, and not the string "LOOT".
