Weirdly this works, like this, in an asynchronous context. However it did not work in an immediate context. It does work in immediate contexts without using debug draw.

Here’s the code where it works (async context), removing the sleeps and making function immediate will crash without anything printing

PickUpBrainrotAsync(Agent: agent, GB: grid_brainrot_component)<suspends>:void=
        if:
            Player := player[Agent]
            not HeldBrainrotByPlayer[Player]
            not HeldByPlayer[Player]
            FC := Player.GetFortCharacter[]
            PlayerEntity := FC.GetEntity[]
        then:
            # Draw the point on the player
            Print("!!! Getting player point")
            Sleep(0.0)
            PlayerPoint := PlayerEntity.GetGlobalTransform().Translation
            Print("!!! About to draw")
            Sleep(0.0)
            DebugDraw.DrawSphere(PlayerPoint, ?Radius := 50.0, ?Color := NamedColors.Yellow, ?Duration := Inf)
            Print("!!! Finished drawing")
            Sleep(0.0)

            PlayerEntity.AddEntities(array{ GB.Entity })
            GB.Entity.SetLocalTransform(BrainrotHoldOffset())
            if (set HeldBrainrotByPlayer[Player] = GB) {}
            # Block re-interaction while carried, and free a grid spot to respawn.
            GB.Disable()
            set LiveBrainrotCount -= 1
