[LUA]isCreature(cid). Return monsters or npcs?

[Kyran]

Is it possible for this function to return only if there is a monster or a npc, like isMonster and isNpc does? I use TFS 0.2.8 and i can't seem to get it to work.

Thank you

return isCreature(cid) and isPlayer(cid)==false ?

the isCreature function doesn't care wether it's a player, monster or npc.. So if i use isPlayer(cid) == false it still wont know the difference between monsters and npc's. I see that other distros uses the functions isMonster, isNpc, isNpc and isCreature. But not TFS

Edit:
I'm also under the impression that the creatureids are limited to different types of creatures. Like players have f.eks 1 - 400000, monsters have from 400000 - 700000 and NPCs have from 700000 - 9000000. If thats the case, i don't see it as a big problem to make that function.

It already exists and is very easy to find.

function isPlayer(cid)
    return isCreature(cid) and cid >= AUTOID_PLAYERS and cid < AUTOID_MONSTERS
end

function isMonster(cid)
    return isCreature(cid) and cid >= AUTOID_MONSTERS and cid < AUTOID_NPCS
end

function isNpc(cid)
    return isCreature(cid) and cid >= AUTOID_NPCS
end
