You could have asked on my thread, but fine

You'd have to remove the creature from the Spectators list, then change the name, and then re-send the creature to the spectators list

I didn't implemented that because IMO it wasn't needed because I just used this function when the monsters were summoned so you could easily summon the monster in a far away place, change its name, and then teleport it to the player, which is why its a setCreatureName, not a changeCreatureName :p

you can still work around it and make it work like you want without changing my function in the sources

Code: 
function changeCreatureName(cid, newName, newDescription)
   local farAwayPos = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7} --Just make a 3x3 square around these coordenates
    local pos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
    local mobName = getCreatureName(cid)
    local hp = getCreatureHealth(cid)
    local master = getCreatureMaster(cid)
    if master == cid then
        master = nil
    end
    doRemoveCreature(cid)
    cid = doCreateMonster(mobName, farAwayPos)
    setCreatureName(cid, newName, newDescription)
    doCreatureAddHealth(cid, -(getCreatureMaxHealth(cid) - hp))
    doTeleportThing(cid, pos)
    if master ~= nil then
        doConvinceCreature(master, cid)
    end
    return true
end

this will remove the creature, create a new one in the far away position, change the name and put its HP like it was and teleport it to its original place and if it has a master, it sets the master. The only thing it doesn't do is that it doesn't register any creature scripts to it, appart from that, it should work :)

honestly, I don't know how to check the spectators list and update it and the reason I'm not gonna bother to check how to do it is because I make code for myself and for what I need and then maybe share it, however, if someone else does it, I'll gladly add it to my main thread and give credits

i'm use this code, but if i summon monster, i create monster, execute onSpawn and after convince creature,
i can't use onSpawn to change name too, i'm need fix for this code and not anothers solutions.

Its faster to find other solutions then to wait for someone else to do this(which most likely wont happen)

You want that when monsters spawn naturally, they change name, but when they are summoned, they keep their regular name, is that it?

a spawn file
Code: 
local newName = "NewMonsterName"
local newDescription = "NewMonsterDescription"

function onSpawn(cid)
   setCreatureName(cid, newName, newDescription)
   return true
end

your script
Code: 
function summonMonster(cid, monsterName)
   ...
   local farAwayPos = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7} --Change This!! 
   local monster = doCreateMonster(monsterName, farAwayPos)
   setCreatureName(monster, monsterName, "a " .. monsterName)
   doTeleportThing(monster, getCreaturePosition(cid))
   doConvinceCreature(cid, monster)
   return true
end

there, now every monster you spawn will have the new name you want, and when you are summoning one, it'll change the name back to the regular name
