Monsters freeze if loot drops

[Oldesta]

When I kill monsters, I get the loot message ONLY if there is no loot being dropped.
As an example "Loot of a dog: nothing".
But, if loot drops (from any monster), then I get no lootmessage and the monster freeze on its spot too.

I think it is related to my default_onDropLoot.lua script.
I just can't figure out what part of it:

local ec = EventCallback
-- Rarity Animations
local rare_popup = false
local rare_effect = false
local rare_effect_id = 71

ec.onDropLoot = function(self, corpse)
    if configManager.getNumber(configKeys.RATE_LOOT) == -1 then
        return
    end

    local player = Player(corpse:getCorpseOwner())
    local mType = self:getType()
    if not player or player:getStamina() > 840 then
        if not configManager.getBoolean(configKeys.MONSTERS_SPAWN_WITH_LOOT) then
            local lootBag = Game.createItem(1987, 1)
            corpse:addItemEx(lootBag)
            
            local monsterLoot = mType:getLoot()
            
            for i = 1, #monsterLoot do
                local itemType = ItemType(monsterLoot[i].itemId)
                if itemType:getWeaponType() == WEAPON_SHIELD or itemType:getWeaponType() == WEAPON_WAND or
                    itemType:getWeaponType() == WEAPON_DISTANCE or itemType:getDuration() > 0 or
                    itemType:getCharges() > 0 or itemType:hasStopDuration() then
                    local item = lootBag:createLootItem(monsterLoot[i])
                    if not item then
                        print('[Warning] DropLoot:', 'Could not add loot item to loot bag.')
                    end
                else
                    local item = corpse:createLootItem(monsterLoot[i])
                    if not item then
                        print('[Warning] DropLoot:', 'Could not add loot item to corpse.')
                    end
                end
            end
            
            if lootBag:getSize() == 0 then
                lootBag:remove()
            end
        end

                -- Apply rarity chance to corpse contents and apply animation
        if rollRarity(corpse) > 0 then -- If a rare item was rolled, play animation
            if rare_popup then
                local spectators = Game.getSpectators(corpse:getPosition(), false, true, 7, 7, 5, 5)
                for i = 1, #spectators do
                    spectators[i]:say(rare_text, TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY, false, spectators[i], corpse:getPosition())
                end
            end
        if rare_effect then
            corpse:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(rare_effect_id)
        end
        end

        if configManager.getBoolean(configKeys.SHOW_MONSTER_LOOT_MESSAGE) then
            if player then
                player:updateKillTracker(self, corpse)
                local text = ("Loot of %s: %s"):format(mType:getNameDescription(), corpse:getContentDescription())
                local party = player:getParty()
                if party then
                    party:broadcastPartyLoot(text)
                else
                    player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, text)
                end
            end
        end
    elseif configManager.getBoolean(configKeys.SHOW_MONSTER_LOOT_MESSAGE) then
        local text = ("Loot of %s: nothing (due to low stamina)"):format(mType:getNameDescription())
        local party = player:getParty()
        if party then
            party:broadcastPartyLoot(text)
        else
            player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, text)
        end
    end
end

ec:register()

If I disable "player:updateKillTracker(self, corpse)", then I get the loot message, but it will not count the kills or track drops (loot).

Any ideas what is causing this?
