So im trying to create a boss script.
Im having trouble identifying if the boss is dead or not.
heres the script:

local config = {
	temporaryArea = {
		{x = 1036, y = 1037, z = 7}, -- northwest corner of area where players must stand in order to join the event
		{x = 1048, y = 1047, z = 7} -- south east corner
	},
	arenaArea = {
		{x = 1045, y = 1012, z = 7}, -- nw corner of arena
		{x = 1060, y = 1025, z = 7}, -- se corner of arena
		{x = 1053, y = 1018, z = 7} -- center of arena
	},
	minPlayers = 1,
	prize = {2159}, -- rewards
	monster = "cat",
	monsterPos = {x = 1053, y = 1021, z = 7},
	temple = {x = 1017, y = 1044, z = 7}
}
 
function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
	local players, arenaPlayers = {}, {}
	for x = (config.temporaryArea)[1].x, (config.temporaryArea)[2].x do
		for y = (config.temporaryArea)[1].y, (config.temporaryArea)[2].y do
			for z = (config.temporaryArea)[1].z, (config.temporaryArea)[2].z do
				if(isPlayer(getTopCreature({x = x, y = y, z = z}).uid)) then
					table.insert(players, getTopCreature({x = x, y = y, z = z}).uid)
				end
			end
		end
	end
	for x = (config.arenaArea)[1].x, (config.arenaArea)[2].x do
		for y = (config.arenaArea)[1].y, (config.arenaArea)[2].y do
			for z = (config.arenaArea)[1].z, (config.arenaArea)[2].z do
				if(isPlayer(getTopCreature({x = x, y = y, z = z}).uid)) then
					table.insert(arenaPlayers, getTopCreature({x = x, y = y, z = z}).uid)
				end
			end
		end
	end
		if(table.maxn(players) >= config.minPlayers) then
			for i = 1, #players do
				doTeleportThing(players[i], (config.arenaArea)[3])
				doSendMagicEffect((config.arenaArea)[3], CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
				doPlayerSendTextMessage(players[i], MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, "Kill the cat!")
				doCreateMonster(cid, config.monster, config.monsterPos)
					if getCreatureHealth(cid) <= 0 then
						for a = 1, #arenaPlayers do
							doTeleportThing(arenaPlayers[a], config.temple)
							doPlayerSendTextMessage(arenaPlayers[a], MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You have slain the cat and recived your reward.")
							doPlayerAddItem(arenaPlayers[a], config.prize,5)
						end
					end
			end
		end
	return true
end

You can't use cid in a globalevent, you can make on onKill script with storage to check if someone killed the cat.

okay so im not getting any errors but it doesnt seem to work:

creaturescripts

local config = {
{["name"] = "Cat", ["storage"] = 5560},
{["name"] = "Cobra", ["storage"] = 5561},
{["name"] = "Chicken", ["storage"] = 5562},
{["name"] = "Crab", ["storage"] = 5563},
}
function onKill(cid, target, lastHit)
		for i = 1, #config do
			if getCreatureName(target):lower() == config[i].name:lower() then
				if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, config[i].storage) == 1 then
					setPlayerStorageValue(cid, config[i].storage, 2)
				end
			end
		end
	return TRUE
end

globalevents

local t = {
{["item"] = 2159, ["icount"] = 2, ["storage"] = 5560},
{["item"] = 2159, ["icount"] = 3, ["storage"] = 5561},
{["item"] = 2159, ["icount"] = 4, ["storage"] = 5562},
{["item"] = 2159, ["icount"] = 5, ["storage"] = 5563},
}
function onThink(cid, item, fromPosition, toPosition)

	for _, name in ipairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do
		local player = getPlayerByName(name)
		for i = 1, #t do
			if getPlayerStorageValue(player,t[i].storage) == 2 then
                                doPlayerSendTextMessage(player,19,"Goodjob on slaying that boss! Youve been rewarded with "..t[i].icount.." EDC")
				doPlayerAddItem(player,t[i].item, t[i].icount)
			end
		end
	end
return true
end

movements
enterboss

local t = {
[7008] = {5560},
[7009] = {5561},
[7010] = {5562},
[7011] = {5563},
}
function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
local v = t[item.uid]
setPlayerStorageValue(cid, v[1], 1)
return true
end

leaveboss/die

local t = {
 [7013] = {5560,5561,5562,5563},
}
function onStepIn(cid, item, position, fromPosition)
local v = t[item.uid]
	for i = 1, #v do
		if getPlayerStorageValue(cid,v[i]) > 0 then
			setPlayerStorageValue(cid,v[i],0)
		end
	end
return true
end

i used the movements that way i can register who is left in the arena so all players left get the prize.
boss dies, nobody gets the prize, no errors.. any idea?
