Items attributes on newly created item.

[desalib]

Hello everyone !

I'm having big trouble with code that involve attributes. When using mock's upgrade script (modified) I can change my attributes with the onUse (trigger?) and it works really well.
But what I really want is a way to change the attributes on a newly created item.

So first of all "setItemName" is a function from Mock's upgrade script here the codes behind :

function setItemName(uid,name)
         return doItemSetAttribute(uid,'name',name)
end

This function work well with onUse trigger. But using it on a newly created item return an error.

local monsters = {
["demon"] = {item = 2160, count = 2, chance = 70},
["rat"] = {item = 2396, count = 1, chance = 100}
}	

function onKill(cid, target, lastHit)
 
local v = getMonsterInfo(getCreatureName(target))
local chance = math.random(1, 100)
	for k, a in pairs(monsters) do
		if (isMonster(target) and ((string.lower(getCreatureName(target))) == k)) then
			if a.chance >= chance then
				local function dropLoot(pos, v, cid)
					local corpse = getTileItemById(pos, v.lookCorpse).uid
					local newItem = doCreateItemEx(a.item)
                                                        print(newitem)
                                                        setItemName(newItem, 'new item name')
                                                        doAddContainerItemEx(corpse, newItem) 
				end			
				addEvent(dropLoot, 0, getThingPos(target), v,cid)
			end
		end
	end
return true
end

data/creaturescripts/scripts/csloot.lua:23: attempt to call global
'setItemName' (a nil value)

If i understand the error correctly it's saying that the principal parameter got a nil value ? but my print of newitem return me a uid format : / ...

I need a little help to understand what is wrong with my code.
The attributes will change depending on the killed monster so no I can't just change it from items.xml

Thanks you, I just want to know how to make it works : / ... I know it's possible as Cykotitan attribute mod isn't sending error and work about the same way .. I think.

setItemName(newItem, 'new item name')

or simply

doItemSetAttribute(newItem, "name", "new item name")
