Lua Weeird Error

[Ahilphino]

Ok. So I have a script which I have registered on every monster like this:

<event type="death" name="extraLoot" script="monsterdeath.lua"/>

and in every monster.xml file:

<script>
<event name="extraLoot"/>
</script>

now everything actually works but still, when I start my server the console is spammed with

"[Warning - Monster::Monster] Unknown event name: extraLoot"

if I remove the lines from the monsters, the errors obviously goes away but the scripts also stop working.

The weird part is that even though it says it's an unknown event name, it still registers and makes the script work.

What can be wrong? And it's not the script. If I simply make the script into like this

function onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamageKiller, unjustified, mostDamageUnjustified)
    print("Test")
    return true
end

its the same thing

maybe everything needs to be lowercase? <---- nvm didnt help

ok so i removed this line from all monsters
<script>
<event name="extraLoot"/>
</script>

and solved it via adding this to creatures.lua

if self:isPlayer() and target:isMonster() then
    target:registerEvent("extraLoot")
end

but now my question is also, wont this register it multiple times in each monster kinda? since everytime u deal dmg to it it seems like it would register? or is there already some inbuilt check for that? or maybe it just doesnt matter cuz in my server u atk real fast and im worried about lagg xD

just check damage print in sources? and make it skip or add together and show after each second?

If you're worried about performance, why haven't you considered creating a new event specifically for monsters where you easily can register creature events?

e.g Monster.onSpawn

What version are you using? I also do a similar thing on my 1.x test server and it works just fine

<event type="death" name="MonsterDeathSystem" script="monster_death_system.lua"/>

<script>
    <event name="MonsterDeathSystem"/>
</script>

idk men its some random tfs 1.1 rev from some months back so its probably some bugged rev

the thing is there were no errors some months ago, but i cant remember what i changed that caused the errors since its so long ago
maybe i will remove some chunks from spawns.xml to narrow it down to some mob or maybe its in the sources probably, which i will update when next tfs release is

for now i use this ghettosolution that ninja gave me

Make sure you have the return true at the end of function im sure you do
