ecctrlRef.current.translation() causes null pointer

[campbellgoe]

Here's my component:

import { useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber'

const Respawn = ({ ecctrlRef, setPos, levelPos }) => {
  useFrame(() => {
    if (ecctrlRef.current) {
      try {
        const { y } = ecctrlRef.current.translation()
        if (y < 0) {
          // this random hack ensures position is reset
          setPos(levelPos.map(a => a + Math.random() * 0.02 - 0.01))
        }
      } catch (err) {
        console.warn('error in getting ecctrl translation', err)
      }
    }
  })
  return null
}

export { Respawn }

And I'm getting this in the console:

Respawn.jsx:13 error in getting ecctrl translation Error: null pointer passed to rust

The player does respawn in the level so the code works mostly, but it's strange it's throwing the null pointer error.

Thanks.

Other users have reported this issue, we thought it could be related to Rapier Ray. I'll need to do more tests to figure this out.
