Throwable Weapons - SpawnPrefab having issues

[Hero Complex]

This is the error I'm currently getting:

[string "scripts/mainfunctions.lua"]:249: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

So either saved isn't actually supposed to be the item name (i.e. lucy) and my (item) in SpawnSaveRecord is too much of a departure from the original (inst._spear), though (inst._item) didn't work as saved became nil, or SpawnPrefab is trying to work with the variable name, rather than it's value.

This is what I have there:

local item = prefab
	print("Weapon is", item)
	local throwable = GLOBAL.SpawnSaveRecord(item)   --Saved is coming up as the item now, but now: [string "scripts/mainfunctions.lua"]:249: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)
	print("Throwable is", throwable)   --am I gonna have to edit the SpawnPrefab function so it stringifies what item is rather than literally using item?
	throwable.Transform:SetPosition(inst:GetPosition():Get())  --I would have to edit the SpawnSaveRecord one too, wouldn't I?
