Adding a new burning debuff, having some issues with effects.

This is specific to this particular effect. No other effect has caused be any trouble to date.

Code:

string fire = "assets/bundled/prefabs/fx/player/onfire.prefab";void doBurningEffects(BaseCombatEntity target)
        {
         
            BasePlayer player = target as BasePlayer;
             
            Vector3 entityPosition=target.GetEstimatedWorldPosition();
            Vector3 burnPosition=new Vector3(entityPosition.x, entityPosition.y+1f, entityPosition.z);
         
             
            if(player!=null&&burningEntities.ContainsKey(player))
            {
                global::Effect.server.Run(fire, player, 8, burnPosition, burnPosition);
                timer.Once(2.5f, () =>
                {
                    doBurningEffects(target);
                });
            }
 
        }

This is the error in question:

Code:

 at (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEngine.Behaviour:set_enabled (bool)

Seems like the issue is sourceConnection being null. Any idea what to list instead?

Thank you in advance!

 

Where are you calling this method from? Like a hook, command? That's probably the reason. Also, the actual exception name would be useful to include in the error, not where it errored

 

That's all there was in the console. The error the client gets before getting kicked is this:
[DOUBLEPOST=1503803507][/DOUBLEPOST]And yeah, I'm calling it from a hook.

 

Which hook?

 

I'm using the OnPlayerDamage hook from HooksExtended - I believe it's a derivative of the OnEntityHurt hook.

 

Maybe try sticking it in a NextTick callback. If that doesn't work, then yea, what wulf said.

 

The hook isn't the issue. The issue is specific to a particular effect. I'm trying to find a way to properly utilize it.
[DOUBLEPOST=1503845470][/DOUBLEPOST]The error occurs when the effect "plays out". The visual effect lasts for maybe 3 or so seconds, the sound lasts for more. Once the sound ends, this error occurs. Sometimes the effect kicks the player when it's created.

 

I've resorted to attaching a FireBall to a player, instead. Thanks for help.

 

Lol, did you two even read the error? It is obviously a client-side error related to the effect.

 

Fair enough, I don't expect you to. I just found it a bit odd, or maybe even funny, that you had suggested using a plugin's support thread when the actual issue just appears to be a Rust bug with the effect.
