[CreatureEvent] Replace monster

[Savly]

I'm using TFS 0.3.6 8.6.
I need a script that replaces a monster when you attack it.
Example: You see a rat, you click attack and it becomes a skunk.

Of course this would make no sense, but it's an example to make the idea more clear.
It will be replaced with a monster with the same name and looktype, just the name in monsters.xml will be different.
Why I want this?
To make non hostile monsters become hostile when you attack them.

Here you go:

First go to creaturescripts/creaturescripts.xml and add this line below:

<event type="target" name="Transform" event="script" value="transform.lua"/>

Then goto Creaturescripts/scripts/login.lua and add this line under "function onLogin(cid)":

registerCreatureEvent(cid, "Transform")

Now create new lua inside Creaturescripts/scripts and name it "transform" and paste the code below:

local Cyko = {
	target = "Rat",
	transform = "Skunk"
}

function onTarget(cid, target)
	if isPlayer(cid) then
		if isMonster(target) and getCreatureName(target) == Cyko.target then
		doRemoveCreature(target)
		doCreateMonster(Cyko.transform, getThingPos(cid))   
		return false
	else
		return true
		end
	end
end

Enjoy!

Thanks
Is it possible to make it in a way that it spawns on the same place as the old monster? so a person doesn't see it gets replaced.

Sorry. I've tried to make it summon on the old pos, but failed :S

 

[Savly]

Ah ok, Thanks for your help anyway

local c = {
	target = "Rat",
	transform = "Skunk"
}
 
function onTarget(cid, target)
	if isPlayer(cid) then
								--getCreatureMaster(target) == nil for 0.4
								--getCreatureMaster(target) ~= target for 0.3.6
		if isMonster(target) and getCreatureMaster(target) == nil and getCreatureName(target):lower() == c.target:lower() then
			local newPos = getCreaturePosition(target)
			doRemoveCreature(target)
			doCreateMonster(c.transform, newPos)   
			return false
		else
			return true
		end
	end
end

Seems lovely Darkhaos

Perfect, nice that it also checks if it's a summen, didn't even thought of that

Just have 1 question

getCreatureMaster(target) ~= target

What does ~= mean? (just to learn, so I can make more scripts myself)

This is a "not" operator which checks if one value is different than second.

Thank you
