Removing Supertypes (and Helm of the Host)

[Zambooo]

Can anybody illuminate me on how to remove the Legendary Supertype? I'm trying to make it work with Helm of the Host but it seems like on table return from SuperType_GetWritable() you can't use either Clear() to remove all Supertypes or ClearAllOfType( SUPERTYPE_LEGENDARY ) to remove just the Legendary one.
Both functions gave me errors

attempt to call method 'ClearAllOfType' (a nil value)

attempt to call method 'Clear' (a nil value)

Here's the piece of code, everything works fine except the supertype removal ofc:

Code: Select all

I can't remember exactly how this was dealt with, but I encountered the same issue. It was for a different supertype (basic, I think), but I can't remember for sure...

I truly wish you could give me more than that cause this issue is driving me insane

If I manage to remember it, I'll definitely let you know. I tried looking, but nothing pinged my memory.
