changing settings mid game and reloading plugin caused cabins to not work

i made a change to the json and reloaded the plugin which broke all the buttons to enter the cabin. this is what comes up when you try to enter the cabin by pressing the button and yes, i did a save before reloading the plugin

however, if you spawn a new barge, you can get into the cabin and drive it no problem

Please confirm it's not safe to reload the plugin during gameplay

I don't have that problem. I keep reloading the plugin and everything is ok

Could there be a problem with the changes in the config?

Hello, I have exactly the same problem when I reload the plugin, then the only solution is to restart the server.

It just happened again and I found the error

The error you're encountering in the "Barges v1.0.3" plugin seems to be due to a `NullReferenceException` when attempting to access the `transform` property in `CreateFakePhysicEntity()` within the `BargePhysics` class. This error often indicates that the object from which `transform` is being called has not been initialized or is null.

To fix this issue, you can update the `CreateFakePhysicEntity()` method to include a null check before accessing `transform`. Here’s an example of how you might adjust the code:

```csharp
private void CreateFakePhysicEntity()
{
    if (this != null && transform != null)
    {
        // Proceed with accessing transform
    }
    else
    {
        Puts("Error: Failed to access transform in CreateFakePhysicEntity. The object may be uninitialized.");
        return;
    }
}
```

This update will help prevent the `NullReferenceException` by checking if `transform` is available before trying to use it. You can implement similar checks in other methods that interact with objects that might not be initialized.

If additional fixes are required in other parts of the code (e.g., `SwitchPhysics` or `StartMoving`), applying similar null checks should help in avoiding exceptions. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hi. I need one of you to contact me in the discord. There is no such problem on my server, I need to test it on your server
