I’m trying out the collection proxies but the collection isn’t loading i followed the instructions

#2

Are you enabling them?

function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
    if message_id == hash("start_level") then
        -- some script tells us to start loading the level
        msg.post("#proxy", "load")
        -- store sender for later notification
        self.loader = sender
    elseif message_id == hash("proxy_loaded") then
        -- enable the collection and let the loader know
        msg.post(sender, "enable")
        msg.post(self.loader, "level_started")
    end
end

You need to change the name of the collection. This is exposed as a property on the collection. Open up the collection and while you have the “Collection” object selected in the outline, the properties window will then have a field “Name”. Change the “default” to a unique name.

When ever you see an error like this in the log it’s something to take serious. It very likely indicates that something has crashed or error’d out of the current scope of execution.
