Solved Failed to run timer (null in timer)

So what im trying to do is that when the F1 explodes it spawns 10 more F1s thrown around it
I get this error only when it tries to run the timer. the code compiles fine

Code:

Failed to run a 3.00 timer in 'test v0.0.1' (NullReferenceException: )
at (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEngine.Component:get_transform ()
at Oxide.Plugins.test+<OnEntityKill>c__AnonStorey0.<>m__0 () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at Oxide.Core.Libraries.Timer+TimerInstance.FireCallback () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

and this is my code :

Code:

   {
        
       public string entit = "assets/prefabs/weapons/f1 grenade/grenade.f1.deployed.prefab";
       public BasePlayer player;       void OnEntityKill(BaseNetworkable entity)
       {
           {
               string ent = entity.ToString();
               if (ent.Contains("grenade.f1"))
               {                   timer.Once(3.9f, () =>
                   {
                       var x = 0;
                       var minis = 10;
                       var pos = entity.transform.position;
                       var rot = entity.transform.rotation;                       while (x < minis) ++x;
                       {
                           System.Random rand = new System.Random();
                           var newnader = GameManager.server.CreateEntity(entit, pos, rot, true);
                           Rigidbody rigidbody = newnader.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
                           rigidbody.useGravity = true;
                           rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(rand.Next(3), 10, rand.Next(3));
                       }                   });
               }
           }
       }       void OnExplosiveThrown(BasePlayer player, BaseEntity entity)
       {
           string ent = entity.ToString();
           if(ent.Contains("grenade.f1")) {
                         }
       }
   }
  
   }

Any advice on fixing the time, or just cleaning up my code in general

Thanks in advance!

 

@Gary? After the timer delay, de "entity" does for sure not exist anymore.
And that's why you can't access the non-existing "entity.transform"

 

Yup. ^
Try storing the position/rotation before the timer.

 

oh lol didnt see that thanks, before i had it to when the explosive was thrown, so i wanted to store the pos when it was about to explode

 

I'm not sure if grenade explosion delay is fixed or randomised but, if it's fixed, you'd need a delay that you know is fractionally shorter than the fuse.
Would do no harm to null check the entity, though, just in case.

I did the same to get the smoking position of supply signal grenade because the thrown position could be 20-30 meters out from the call position, depending on terrain etc; Grab the entity position 3 seconds after it's spawned, or whatever.

 

now i have a different problem, spawning the entity, I had it put the pos and rot in chat and that worked, but no entity spawns
