Lua attempt to call method 'getElementList' (a nil value)

[BloodGauntlet]

function foo (player)
    local creature = Creature(player):getTarget()
    local monster = Monster(creature)
    local resist = monster:getElementList()
    return resist
end

Some MonsterType methods work e.g, monsterType:getBaseSpeed() . And other ones like :getElementList and :getArmor throw that error. Need an explanation from you gurus.

Monster is a class, MonsterType is another class.

The getBaseSpeed is working cause its calling creature:getBaseSpeed() not monsterType:getBaseSpeed().

function foo (player)
    local creature = player:getTarget()
    local monster = Monster(creature)
    if monster then
        local resist = monster:getType():getElementList()
        return resist
    end
    return false
end

Awesome, I figured it had something to do with me calling those MonsterType methods from the Monster object. Monster:getType() method is noted! Keeping my code rolling along, thanks a ton!
