TFS 0.X Detect monster attacking

[dawnking]

Is it possible to detect the monster i'm attacking?
I mean
if atkking == "Troll" then ...


This function https://github.com/Fir3element/3777/blob/master/src/luascript.cpp#L2110
prints a stranger number

The function return the uid of the creature, so once u get the uid then u can check the name

local target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
if getCreatureName(target):lower() == "troll" then
    -- do something
end

And to properly check

local target = getCreatureTarget(cid)
if target > 0 then
    if isMonster(target) and getCreatureName(target):lower() == "troll" then
        -- do something
    end
end

The number you're seeing is targetted creature identifier (cid is short for creature identifier btw).

If you call this, you will get target creature name

local targetId = getCreatureTarget(cid)
local targetName = getCreatureName(targetId)
print(targetName)
