hey, I got this code, but like you can see it only gets the name of 1 monster...

can some1 explain me how can I check the names of all monsters arround?

Code: 
local specs = getCustomSpectators(creature:getPosition(), false, false, true, false, 15, 15, 15, 15)

    for i = 1, #specs do
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You must kill the following monsters: "..specs[i]:getName().." before get your reward.")
    return false
    end

Whats that?
Code: 
local specs = getCustomSpectators(creature:getPosition(), false, false, true, false, 15, 15, 15, 15)
local monstersNames = ''

    for i = 1, #specs do
        monstersNames = monstersNames .. ', '.. specs[i]:getName()
    end
    if monstersNames ~= '' then
        player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You must kill the following monsters: "..monstersNames.." before get your reward.")
        return false
    end
    return true

Code: 
    for _, spectator in ipairs(Game.getSpectators(position[, multifloor = false[, onlyPlayer = false[, minRangeX = 0[, maxRangeX = 0[, minRangeY = 0[, maxRangeY = 0]]]]]]) do
        if spectator:isMonster() then
            print(spectator:getName())
        end
    end

solved, thanks every1

the solution is

Code: 
local specs = getCustomSpectators(creature:getPosition(), false, false, true, false, 15, 15, 15, 15)
local names = ""
  
    if #specs > 0 then
        for i = 1, #specs do
            if(names == "") then
                    names = specs[i]:getName()
            else
                    names = names .. "\n"..specs[i]:getName()
            end
        end
    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You cannot receive your reward before kill the following monsters:\n"..names.."")
    return true
    end
