[NEED HELP] my mod went invisible :(

[Recluse420]

Just looking for a mod vet. to help me fix my problem. I've been searching all over trying to fix this but I can't seem to get my custom character to show up on screen anymore; it's like there isn't even an image for him.

My modded toon was working just fine, until I added maxwell's shadowminion code, I can't see in the code where it changes the characters anim directory or anything. Why did he disappear? Below is the characters code; I don't receive an error report either, just loads the mod without visible image.

Did you look into maxwell's prefab? I see you have the pet component there, recently it was updated on Maxwell's prefab (waxwell.lua), perhaps you need to do some updating, also, you no longer need to asset all those animations by the way, you need this

 Asset("SCRIPT", "scripts/prefabs/player_common.lua"),

I infact recommend you to maybe if it doesn't work, redo your prefab.

cool, thank you so much. Is there a certain post I should check out, that might help me in the future? I mean that you personally would recommend.

To be honest, I am not sure, because whenever I feel I need some sort of help, I tend to search on the forums, I never truly picked a post that could be the super essential, but I guess that the best recommendation is to always double check things, and if you have issues search in multiple places or stuff related, it tends to solve the problem, at least to me.
