Solved Object reference not set (broadcasting in Init)

I recently got this error on one of my plugins that was working a couple days ago:

Code:

 File: ExtraCommand.lua Line: 15 Object reference not set to an instance of an object:
  at ConsoleSystem.Broadcast (System.String strCommand, System.Object[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Oxide.Game.Rust.Libraries.Rust.BroadcastChat (System.String name, System.String message, System.String userid) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.MonoMethod:InternalInvoke (object,object[],System.Exception&)
  at System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object 

I cannot figure out what it wants me to add. Here is my code:

Code:

-- Global Variables
local pluginAbb = "<color=#ffa500ff>[ExtraCMD]</color>"function PLUGIN:Init()
    self:LoadDefaultConfig()
    if self.Config.MainSettings.PluginEnabled == "false" then

        return
    else
        rust.BroadcastChat("Extra Command by Zane Newberry Loaded!") end --THIS IS LINE 15
  
    -- Checking for command permission nodes, if they don't exist, it creates it.
    if not permission.PermissionExists("helpCmd") then permission.RegisterPermission("helpCmd", self.Plugin) end

    command.AddChatCommand( "help", self.Plugin, "cmdHelp" )
    -- Other Utilities needed
    gHelpTableCount, gPageCount = self:countTable(self.Config.PlayerCommands.HelpCommandList)
endfunction PLUGIN:LoadDefaultConfig()

    -- Creating configurations in the above groups
    self.Config.MainSettings.MaxLinesForListCommands = self.Config.MainSettings.MaxLinesForListCommands or "5"

    self.Config.Messages.doesntHavePermissionMsg = self.Config.Messages.doesntHavePermissionMsg or "You do not have permission to use this command!"
    self.Config.PlayerCommands.HelpCommandList = self.Config.PlayerCommands.HelpCommandList or { "cmd1", "cmd2", "cmd3", "cmd4", "When adding commands, don't forget then ,"}
  
    self:SaveConfig()
end

        count = count + 1
    end
    local pageCount = count / maxPerPage
    if count < 5 then pageCount = 1 end
    return count, math.ceil(pageCount)

    -- Checks to see if there are any commands defined in the table
    if gHelpTableCount == 0 then rust.SendChatMessage(player, pluginAbb, "There are no server commands defined!") return end
    local maxPerPage = self.Config.MainSettings.MaxLinesForListCommands
    local helpTable = self.Config.PlayerCommands.HelpCommandList
    if args.Length == 0 then rust.SendChatMessage(player, pluginAbb, "Please add a page number! Total Pages: ".. gPageCount ..", /help <PageNumber>") return end
    if tonumber(args[0]) > gPageCount or tonumber(args[0]) < 1 then rust.SendChatMessage(player, pluginAbb, "That page does not exist! Total Pages: ".. gPageCount) return end
    local cmdEndPoint = args[0] * maxPerPage
    local cmdStartPoint = cmdEndPoint - 4
    local currentNumber = cmdStartPoint
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, pluginAbb, "Page ".. args[0] .." out of ".. gPageCount)
    local count = 1
    while count <= 5 do
        rust.SendChatMessage(player, tostring(currentNumber), helpTable[currentNumber])
        currentNumber = currentNumber + 1
        count = count + 1
    end
end

Thanks.

 

Code:

  rust.BroadcastChat("Extra Command by Zane Newberry Loaded!") end --THIS IS LINE 15 

Yeah I edited it, I noticed I forgot to mention that. Also, the plugin doesn't start up when the server does if you could help with that too please.

 

I know next to nothing when it comes to this, but am I wrong to assume when the server is starting up and it tries to rust.BroadcastChat before its finished loading that would cause a problem?

 

Thank you lol (I know Analyze and he wouldn't trust me )

 

Alright thanks, new to creating plugins.
