Solved Need help with doCreateMonster function !

[Materion]

Hello I'm using tfs 0.4.1 and I wanna make a simple script - when i click on a lamp it gonna create a dragon near character. Script looks like

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
	if(item.itemid == 2344) then
		doCreateMonster(cid,"Dragon")
	end
	return true
end

When I'm using this script nothing happens and on server console i got error message : (luaDoCreateMonster) Monster with name '268436457' not found.

I tried write like this:
doCreateMonster(cid,Dragon)
doCreateMonster(cid,'Dragon')
swapping cid with dragon parameter - nothing helps. What im doing wrong ? It's such a simple function and i have problems with using it ;/.

P.S
When im using function : doSummonMonster(cid,"Dragon") it works, but with doCreateMonster(cid,"Dragon") don't ... I have no idea what's wrong ;s

You clearly doesnt know how doCreateMonster works.... But hey Im here to help

doCreateMonster is asking for two things, a string (monsters name) and a vector (where it should spawn aka position of it).

So now we have the function like this, doCreateMonster(string, vector).

If you want to make a dragon appear next to you, then you could do something like this,

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
	if(item.itemid == 2344) then
		local YourPos = getPlayerPosition(cid)

                doCreateMonster("Dragon", {x = YourPos.x + 1, y = YourPos.y + 1, YourPos.z})
	end
	return true
end

Hope this helped you, the code is not tested and it was like 3 years I coded in TibiaLua....
