Can't find prefab?

[rockninja]

I'm new to modding and don't understand why the game can't seem to find my prefab.

 

require "prefabutil"

local Assets=
{
	Asset("ANIM", "anim/wharang_dango.zip"),
}

local function fn(Sim)
	local inst = CreateEntity()
	inst.entity:AddTransform()
	inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    
    inst.AnimState:SetBank("wharang_dango")
	inst.AnimState:SetBuild("scroll")
	inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle", true)
	MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)

	
	inst:AddTag("wharangmod")
	
    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")
    
    inst:AddComponent("fuel")
    inst.components.fuel.fuelvalue = TUNING.SMALL_FUEL
    
	MakeSmallBurnable(inst, TUNING.SMALL_BURNTIME)
    MakeSmallPropagator(inst)
    
    
    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/wharang_dango.xml"
	

    return inst
end

return Prefab("common/inventory/scroll", fn, Assets),

any help would be appreciated.

Did you add your prefab to the list of prefabs in your modmain.lua file?
If not, then that might be the reason why.  To add it simply open the modmain.lua file and there you'll see something like:

   PrefabFiles = { "YourCharacter" }

Simply add your prefab there so it'll look like that:

   PrefabFiles = { "YourCharacter", "YourPrefabHere" }

However, if you did add it and it doesn't work, then I'm guessing it could be probably just a typo somewhere. So simply make sure that you typed the name of your prefab file everywhere correctly.

I've added it to the list, but now the game gets frozen on the title screen?

 

PrefabFiles = {
	"scroll",
}

I have no idea what i'm doing wrong now.

Did you also add all of the item's custom images to the Assets = { } section in your modmain.lua?

Assets = {
    Asset( "IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/wharang_dango.tex" ),
    Asset( "ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/wharang_dango.xml" ),   
       }

You should add it along with all the other assets which are already there. (If there currently are any)
