Getting these script errors:

Would you be willing to send me the dupe you tried this with on Discord? This is probably something specific to your particular dupe.

trying to paste in a dupe with advdupe2 causes it to not be undoable with the Z key, and these errors show up

I have this downloaded but it says its not installed

Could you send a link to the dupe so that I can try taking a look at it?

Yeah, I tried doing that already but that didn't help,

ULib isn't related to this at all, but there might be something else conflicting with this addon. Try disabling any addons that also do things to prop contraptions and see if that fixes it.

I have 0 understanding in coding but is this due to possibly a mod I have called "uLib"?
and if so, is it THIS mod's problem in particular or uLib's?

also, dunno if this is relevant but my rt cameras like the ones from wiremod and/or the "advanced multiple rt cameras" addon are all somehow bugged. like the rt monitor shows the previous camera, if there is one, that isn't even connected to it anyhow. It happened after I downloaded this mod, which also so happened to be when garry's mod got updated and now I don't know who to blame.

(sorry for 2 comments, can't post comments with more than 1k characters)

there are some interesting things happening to my gmod with this addon installed. so basically when I try to spawn a dupe of mine that has totally no relation (except maybe vanilla destructible props) to this addon, it creates an error:

continuing, I can't remove the dupe with the gmod undo feature. it just makes another error:
