lua/acf/contraption/contraption_sv.lua:348: attempt to index field 'ACF' (a nil value)

adv dupe 2 keeps showing me this when i try to spawn my first car

I think the error with the tranquilizer gun should be fixed now, but say something if it happens again. If you could share a save that has that issue with this addon, that would be helpful too.

this addon is also removing a large amount of objects when i load a save for some reason

sorry for long reply but its 'NPC tranqulizer gun"

@Balooba5000 What's the addon with the tranquilizer gun that you were using?

Would you be willing to send me the dupe you tried this with on Discord? This is probably something specific to your particular dupe.

trying to paste in a dupe with advdupe2 causes it to not be undoable with the Z key, and these errors show up

I have this downloaded but it says its not installed

Could you send a link to the dupe so that I can try taking a look at it?

Yeah, I tried doing that already but that didn't help,

ULib isn't related to this at all, but there might be something else conflicting with this addon. Try disabling any addons that also do things to prop contraptions and see if that fixes it.

I have 0 understanding in coding but is this due to possibly a mod I have called "uLib"?
and if so, is it THIS mod's problem in particular or uLib's?

also, dunno if this is relevant but my rt cameras like the ones from wiremod and/or the "advanced multiple rt cameras" addon are all somehow bugged. like the rt monitor shows the previous camera, if there is one, that isn't even connected to it anyhow. It happened after I downloaded this mod, which also so happened to be when garry's mod got updated and now I don't know who to blame.

(sorry for 2 comments, can't post comments with more than 1k characters)

there are some interesting things happening to my gmod with this addon installed. so basically when I try to spawn a dupe of mine that has totally no relation (except maybe vanilla destructible props) to this addon, it creates an error:

[Contraption Framework] lua/cfw/core/connectivity_sv.lua:47: attempt to call method 'Merge' (a nil value)

2. unknown - lua/cfw/core/constraints_sv.lua:40

Timer Failed! [Simple][@lua/cfw/core/constraints_sv.lua (line 28)]

continuing, I can't remove the dupe with the gmod undo feature. it just makes another error:

Can you send them

this ♥♥♥♥ causes so many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ errors

this is a thing i guess:

What do you guys mean? I haven't had any problems with it myself

@aceofspades I have no idea, since ACF cries non-stop in the console about needing it. I find that mildly ironic.

how does this almost never work with acf

I HAVE 1470 AND 5042

Happened when calling Entity:deparent() with e2

addons/cfw/lua/cfw/core/connectivity_sv.lua:16: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

ah

Adds some functionality for doing stuff based on player builds but needs other mods to take advantage of it (like ACF)

What does this addon even do?

This is a known issue; make sure that Wiremod is up to date and it should be fixed.

I deleted a dupe of some ragdolls that used the easy bonemerge tool I made and got this error:

[Contraption Framework] lua/cfw/classes/link_sv.lua:57: attempt to index field '_links' (a nil value)
1. Sub - lua/cfw/classes/link_sv.lua:57
2. disconnect - lua/cfw/core/connectivity_sv.lua:72
3. v - lua/cfw/core/parenting_sv.lua:107
4. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:96


should I worry about this?

It seems to be functioning as intended now, thank you.

@rat cooker @ramayo @Zaroni Pepperoni
Should be fixed by now, it was related to a file being loaded on the wrong realm. The error was caused by the very effect your tool produces when you click something, which was failing to disconnect from a nonexistant contraption.

I can replicate bug from commenter below,

[Contraption Framework] lua/cfw/classes/link_sv.lua:72: attempt to index a nil value
1. Sub - lua/cfw/classes/link_sv.lua:72

4. unknown - lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:109 (x66)

occurs every time you modify parented entities after pasting with adv dupe.

when I modify an Adv. Dupe 2 duplication (either by pasting an E2's content, welding, unwelding) this error pops up

[Contraption Framework] lua/cfw/classes/link_sv.lua:72: attempt to index a nil value

3. v - lua/cfw/core/parenting_sv.lua:107
4. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:96 (x6)


and I think it subsequently breaks whatever was changed if I copy and paste that "bugged" dupe

No it's not lol
Try it again now; we just pushed an update that should fix a lot of the errors that have been showing up

Is this mod meant to create errors? lol

error still pops up for npcs if they have any bonemerged props on them

Heads up, IsNPC doesn't return true for nextbots
Have to check IsNextBot too :(

thanks

All the errors related to NPCs should be fixed now; thanks for all of the reports lol

also, conflicts with terminator nextbots
