getComponents returns nothing even when it should

hello I have script like this

        if (this.socketAddress.address === 0) {
            const components = Dependency<Components>();
            const parent = this.instance.Parent?.Parent;
            if (parent) {
                wait(1); // fix this later
                const assemblyRoot = components.getComponents<GetAssemblyUID>(parent);
                print("list of assemblyRoots :3", assemblyRoot);
                if (assemblyRoot.size() !== 0) {
                    this.socketAddress.address = assemblyRoot[0].getAssemblyUID();
                } else {
                    warn("address set to automatic, but no root found on instance ", parent);
                }
            }

        if (this.socketAddress.address === 0) {
            const components = Dependency<Components>();
            const parent = this.instance.Parent?.Parent;
            if (parent) {
                wait(1); // fix this later
                const assemblyRoot = components.getComponents<GetAssemblyUID>(parent);
                print("list of assemblyRoots :3", assemblyRoot);
                if (assemblyRoot.size() !== 0) {
                    this.socketAddress.address = assemblyRoot[0].getAssemblyUID();
                } else {
                    warn("address set to automatic, but no root found on instance ", parent);
                }
            }

for some reason it can't find that method in component, when literally there should be 100% chance to be there.

@Component({
    tag: "model:Engine",
})
export class Engine extends BaseComponent<{}, EngineModel> implements GetAssemblyUID, OnStart {

@Component({
    tag: "model:Engine",
})
export class Engine extends BaseComponent<{}, EngineModel> implements GetAssemblyUID, OnStart {

does anyone know why?

    getAssemblyUID(): number {
        print("got called :3");
        return 128 as number;
        ///return tonumber(tostring(this.parent.getAssemblyUID()) + "1") as number;
    }

    getAssemblyUID(): number {
        print("got called :3");
        return 128 as number;
        ///return tonumber(tostring(this.parent.getAssemblyUID()) + "1") as number;
    }

it's clearly there the interesting thing is that this is not the only component that uses that, but with that second one it's all alright....

@Component({ tag: "model:Airship" })
export class Airship extends BaseComponent<IAttributes, AirshipModel> implements OnStart, GetAssemblyUID {

    private speed: number = 0;

    private rotationSpeed: number = 0;

i though it could be because that component is not loaded yet, that's why i gave it task.wait(), but no matter the time i wait it still outputs it

I think it's because they didn't load or smth Or can you actually task.delay it instead of task.wait()?

the reason was cuz script crashed
