Lua Killed by.. Please help with my barbaric sintaxis

[Demonatti]

Im relatively new to LUA and im trying to make a code so when a player dies it sends an orange msg saying
"Killed by X.." , im trying to use onPrepareDeath for the event and getCreatruename but I cant seem to find the
0.4 rev .3777 functions lists so Im making a disaster with the parameters. Please help

function onPrepareDeath(cid, lastHitKiller, mostDamageKiller)
  
                doCreatureSay(cid, "Killed by "..lastHitKiller.getCreatureName, TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
      
        return true
        end

I know this is absolutely barbaric but im doing this blindfolded, thank you in advance

Im kinda sure that I also need getCreaturePostition since the message should appear in the tile wich the player died, it should work with mobs and players

Please do not double post, edit your posted insted.
I merged the post but think about it in the future

function onPrepareDeath(cid, lastHitKiller, mostDamageKiller)
    doCreatureSay(cid, "Killed by " .. getCreatureName(lastHitKiller), TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
    return true
end

That should work, but you should add a check if the lastHitKiller is a player or not (could be a monster), unless you wanna display it for all kinds of creatures.

isPlayer(lastHitKiller)

The thing you did wrong was pretty much use metatables (as the 1.x versions use) lastHitKiller:getName() when you should have used getCreatureName(lastHitKiller)

You're the best thank you, and yes you are right i'll edit it next time

Edit : Well, Thanks for the help, it couldn't work because the creature cant cast the string if he's dead sooooo I replaced with :

function onPrepareDeath(cid, lastHitKiller, mostDamageKiller)
    
doSendAnimatedText(pos, "Killed by " .. getCreatureName(lastHitKiller) .. "", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)

return true

end

Buut I cant figure out how to fill the pos , something like getCreaturePos? please help

doSendAnimatedText(pos, "Killed by " .. getCreatureName(lastHitKiller) .. "", TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
