Summary:

The minecraft:shooter component throws a content error when defined to shoot an add-entity projectile, claiming that the projectile entity is not defined. The content error has the following format:

[Components][error]-<world> | actor definitions | <path to BP> | <shooter entity> | minecraft:entity | <json path to shooter component> | minecraft:shooter | def | 'def' value is invalid, no actor definition found by the name '<projectile entity>'

Despite this, the entity can shoot the custom projectile without any issues.

Impact:

While it doesn't affect any gameplay, content errors like these are likely to fail certification for future content, even though we have no way to get around this.

Repro Steps:

1. Open a fresh copy of Ninja Mash-up with content logs enabled.
2. Watch the content logs.

Observed Results:

This content error is shown when starting up (among others):

[Components][error]-Ninja Mash-up | actor definitions | <path to BP> | npc:citizen | minecraft:entity | component_groups | work_fisherman | minecraft:shooter | def | 'def' value is invalid, no actor definition found by the name 'nm:fishing_bobber'

Expected Results:

That particular content error shouldn't show, as nm:fishing_bobber is in fact defined.
