✅ command methods not throwing any errors
my methods for my commands, even when awaited at every reference point, aren't throwing errors that can be seen or kill my program? and no there is no try-catch

`System.String` doesn't have the `Substring` method or something is weird about this string??
i've even tried this 
description.Length > 2043 ? description[0 .. 2043] : description;
description.Length > 2043 ? description[0 .. 2043] : description;
but here's my substring operation: 
description.Substring(0, 2043);
description.Substring(0, 2043);
it works for some returned strings but not all????

substringing and slicing not working..
i've tried everything on planet earth it feels like 
character.description.ToString()[new Range(0, 2043)]
character.description.ToString()[new Range(0, 2043)]
character.description.ToString().Substring(0, 2043)
character.description.ToString().Substring(0, 2043)
character.description.Value.Substring(0, 2043)
character.description.Value.Substring(0, 2043)
character.description.Value.ToString(0, 2043)
character.description.Value.ToString(0, 2043)
((string)character.description).Substring(0, 2043)
((string)character.description).Substring(0, 2043)
etc... i'm converting a NewtonSoft.JValue to a string and none of these have worked, and the .Substring method exists on some of the description strings but not all of them??

duplicate methods from .GetMethods()
        public ElfinCommand[] ReadCommands()
        {
            List<ElfinCommand> commands = new List<ElfinCommand>();

            var progGroupClasses = GetTypesWithAttribute<ElfinGroupAttribute>();

            foreach (Type type in progGroupClasses)
            {
                MethodInfo[] methods = type.GetMethods().Skip(4).ToArray();
        public ElfinCommand[] ReadCommands()
        {
            List<ElfinCommand> commands = new List<ElfinCommand>();

            var progGroupClasses = GetTypesWithAttribute<ElfinGroupAttribute>();

            foreach (Type type in progGroupClasses)
            {
                MethodInfo[] methods = type.GetMethods().Skip(4).ToArray();
so above is my code for getting all classes with the group attribute, and then getting their methods (these methods represent commands). as you can see, though, i have to do .Skip(4) because one of the commands is getting duplicated 4 more times. what could be the cause of this? none of the other methods do this. 
        public IEnumerable<Type> GetTypesWithAttribute<T>() where T : Attribute
        {
            foreach (Type type in typeof(Program).Assembly.GetTypes())
            {
                if (type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), true).Length > 0)
                {
                    yield return type;
                }
            }
        }
        public IEnumerable<Type> GetTypesWithAttribute<T>() where T : Attribute
        {
            foreach (Type type in typeof(Program).Assembly.GetTypes())
            {
                if (type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), true).Length > 0)
                {
                    yield return type;
                }
            }
        }
here's the method i use to grab groups classes.
