invalid get index (yeah, I know) from tools during editing

Question

I have an autoload script, PlayerData, with a DebugMode variable (int). Debug messages are displayed based on the value of DebugMode (0 = none, 1 = event triggers, 2 = var reassignment, etc).

I also have tools made, like items where you can set there "item_type" and the item in the editor will reflect it.

but since it's a tool in the editor, and it's not running the autoload script, PlayerData, I keep getting these untrue warning in my output while editing, scrolling past possible useful information.

(warnings do not appear while running, this is while editing)

any advice??

Answer 1

moved the code for debug messages.

Separated it from the code that updates the items when I change the "item_type" variable in my editor.
