Problem with loaders

Questions
#1

Hi, im having a problem trying to load my game from the start when these enemies get to the bottom of the screen.
The error is:
ERROR:GAMEOBJECT: Component ‘/loader_go#game’ could not be found when dispatching message ‘unload’ sent from loader:/loader_go#loader
ERROR:GAMEOBJECT: The collection ‘menu’ could not be created since there is already a socket with the same name.
ERROR:GAMEOBJECT: AcquireResources NewCollection RESULT_OUT_OF_RESOURCES
WARNING:RESOURCE: Unable to create resource: /menu/menu.collectionc: OUT_OF_RESOURCES

function end_game(self)
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
	msg.post(self.current_collection, "unload")
	msg.post("#mainmenu", "load")
	self.current_collection = "#main"
end

This is the code in the spawner script to send to the loader script

function init(self)
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
	msg.post("#mainmenu", "load")
	self.current_collection = "#mainmenu"
end

function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
	if message_id == hash("start") then
		msg.post(self.current_collection, "unload")
		msg.post("#main", "load")
		self.current_collection = "#game"
	elseif message_id == hash("proxy_loaded") then
		msg.post(sender, "enable")
	elseif message_id == hash("end_game") then
		msg.post(self.current_collection, "unload")
		msg.post("#mainmenu", "load")
		self.current_collection = "#mainmenu"
	end
end

here is the loader.

You need to wait for the collection to finish unloading before loading it again. You can watch for a proxy_unloaded message to achieve this.

if you dont mind, what would be the lines of code to achieve this? every other proxy is loading perfectly fine with the exact same code
