Spawning a specific prefab on player death?

[Fireandthethud]

Okay, So I want to make it so that upon a players death I can spawn a certain prefab, I'm trying to use a similar technique to the one used in Wickerbottom's books, but I run into a problem with the Vector3 function.

 

Is there a better way to go about this? Am I using the correct function: "AddPlayerPostInit" ?

AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)local pt = Vector3(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())    if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 	    inst:ListenForEvent("death", function() 			local num = math.random(1,3)--             for k = 1, num do--                local spawn = SpawnPrefab("beefalo")--                spawn.Transform:SetPosition(pt)--        end    end)     endend)

local function beefedup(inst)    local pos = inst:GetPosition()    local num = math.random(1, 3)    for k = 1, num, 1 do        local rand = math.random(0, 10) - 5        local beefalo = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("beefalo")        beefalo.Transform:SetPosition(pos.x + rand, 0, pos.z + rand)    endend AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)    if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then        inst:ListenForEvent("death", beefedup)    endend)

You don't need Vector3 if it causes you trouble.

But if you do need Vector3 in the future, the problem is that it's outside of the modmain's sandbox, so you have to access it with GLOBAL.Vector3.

Sorry This is a late reply but...

 

I got an error: "calling 'Setposition' on bad self {number expected, got table}"

 

I tried to use:

local pos = GLOBAL.Vector3(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())

and all that accomplished was a crash on loading the world, whilst @DarkXero 's suggestion only printed an error, w/o a crash 

 

 

Edit: The Error Line from my Log.txt:

[00:01:40]: [string "../mods/SpellsModsSwapTexturesDST/modmain.l..."]:98: calling 'SetPosition' on bad self (number expected, got table)

@Fireandthethud, Use this:

local pos = GLOBAL.Vector3(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition():Get())
