Spawned a NULL entity

Fixsek Kot · **Author**

Hi,

I've been struggling creating a lasermine, just can't understand it, because people have to make their codes way to hard to read for some reason. So I wrote some code, tested it in game and I got a fatal error: "Spawned a NULL entity!" I tried to search what this means and how to fix it, so I'm begging for not only a help to solve this issue, but also explain to me at least a little, how to make the lasermine work, because I guess it won't work properly:
