Lua How to work with "objects" or rather the metatable?

[Simbaclaws]

So basically what I need to know is what kind of parameters should be input to the objects that get instantiated.

For example these following metatables or object definitions exist:

• Combat
• Condition
• Container
• Creature
• Group
• Guild
• House
• Item
• ItemType
• ModalWindow
• Monster
• MonsterType
• NetworkMessage
• Npc
• Party
• Player
• Position
• Teleport
• Tile
• Town
• Variant
• Vocation

I'm currently about to test each secondary function that exists for these metatable objects and I need to know what parameters these objects have so for example:

I would need to know what somevalue is:

local combat = Combat(somevalue)
local condition = Condition(somevalue)
local container = Container(somevalue)
local creature = Creature(somevalue)

I'm not quite sure what these metatable objects need in order to instantiate them. I've already searched the forgottenserver wiki but couldn't find an answer there.

Or perhaps, does it take nothing to instantiate them?
An explenation would be great.

You can find the parameters (If thats what you wanna know.) here: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/blob/master/src/luascript.cpp
You just have to search for the function

For example:
Condition: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/blob/master/src/luascript.cpp#L11076
Creature: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/blob/master/src/luascript.cpp#L6576

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that >.<
You' ve told me this before I can remember.

EDIT: hmmm I can't seem to find luaPartyCreate...
It looks like it's not in there.

You can't create party you can just get the party object doing:
player:getParty()
