Applying custom item mod to a weapon results with "NullReferenceException"

[Bladestorm Games]

Hey so I am working on a custom item modifier, Poison Ointment, pretty much everything is up (recipe craft, item icon, debuff). The issue I am running into is, when I apply the item modifier to a weapon, it results in a "NullReferenceException. Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

 

Searching google, it seems people say "NullReferenceException" is Unity's general way of saying something went wrong. So I'm not sure what I'm missing that would cause this issue.

 

Here is a video to see what is going on:

Post up your output log. Can google where to find it if you are unfamiliar. It can give a bit more info sometimes as to what the issue is. Also maybe post your xml for the item mod.

And here is the XML for the item mod:

<configs>
  <append xpath="/item_modifiers">
    <item_modifier name="modOintmentPoisonRegular" installable_tags="weapon" modifier_tags="poison" blocked_tags="noMods" type="attachment">
      <property name="CustomIcon" value="ointmentPoisonRegular"/>
      <property name="Stacknumber" value="1"/> <property name="Group" value="Mods"/>
      <property name="DropMeshfile" value="#Other/Items?Misc/sack_droppedPrefab.prefab"/>

      <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfDamagedOther" action="AddBuff" target="other" buff="buffPoisonDoT"/>
      <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfDamagedOther" action="ModifyCVar" target="other" cvar="poisonCounter" operation="add" value="5"/>
    </item_modifier>
  </append>
</configs>

Try putting those triggered effects into an effect_group.
