Lua Editing loot when it's dropped

[Rexxar]

Simple question!

Is it possible to alter loot that is dropped by a monster, when (or right after) the monster dies and loot is placed in its corpse?

Example:
Monster XXX drops "Shovel".
I want the script to, when a monster dies, check if its loot contains "Shovel".
If so, check if player name is "Adam", and if monster name is "Scarab".
If the above thing is true, replace "Shovel" with "Pick Axe".
(Or remove "Shovel" from the monster corpse, and instead place "Pick Axe" in there)

Is this possible in LUA or would it require C++ stuff?

Any help is appreciated, and rewarded with Reputation.

I think it should be something like this.

function onDeath(cid, corpse, deathList)
local loot = {1000,1001}
	if isCreature(cid) then
		for i=1, #loot do
			doCreatureSetDropLoot(cid,loot[i])
		end
	end
	return true
end

mm...
hey unk, if you print the loot it will be "2" so why doCreatureSetDropLoot(cid, 2) D;?
anyways i cant script it because i dont understand the request xd

creaturescripts.xml

	<event type="death" name="EditLoot" event="script" value="script.lua"/>

script.lua

function onDeath(cid, corpse, deathList)
	for i = 1, #deathList do
		if isPlayer(deathList[i]) and getCreatureName(deathList[i]) == 'Adam' then
			local i = 0
			while i < getContainerSize(corpse.uid) do
				local k = getContainerItem(corpse.uid, i)
				if k.itemid == 2554 then
					doTransformItem(k.uid, 2553)
					break
				end
				i = i + 1
			end
			break
		end
	end
	return true
end

monster script:

	<script>
		<event name="EditLoot"/>
	</script>

well actually its the 2nd value in the local loot.

loot[2] = 1001
loot [1] = 1000, etc..

but cykotitan beat me

yea, you could've used onKill that's executed for players but onDeath for monster is safer because we don't need to search for corpse.
