[c++] Adding event to monsters without editing each file.

[slavi]

Hello Otlanders.

I want to add event "onHealthChange" to some monsters.

This can be done without editing each monster file?

I thought about an idea, it's to load configmanager array but I don't know how to do so.


Why I want to do that so?
I want to add this event to bosses while (onThink) and (onHealthChange).

its possible.
but will have some limitations i guess. for example @zbisu did this with one of his systems (maybe he can suggest something better now)
https://otland.net/threads/tfs-1-1-extra-loot-system.230102/
in there he added this

if not self then return true end
if self:isPlayer() and target:isMonster() then
target:registerEvent("extra_loot_d")
end

in this event

function Creature:onTargetCombat(target)

which means when a player targets the monster it would regist the event onto it. but for example if the monster is killed only with aoe attacks and never was targetted, i don't think it registers which is why i said there was limitations to it.

but its also really simple to just use for example notepad++ and register events onto all monsters with a few simple clicks, i would just go with that.

That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much.
