Lua onDeath

[leituni]

Hi people. I'm trying to run a script onDeath, but it is not running properly. Could anyone help, please?

When I run this, it works fine: (verifies complete loot of monster)

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
         str = "Loot:\n"
         local lootList = getMonsterLootList(param)
         for i, _ in pairs(lootList) do
		     str = str .. getItemNameById(lootList[i].id) .. " (ID: " .. lootList[i].id .. ")\n"
         end
       	 doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, str)
end

When I run this, the for i, ..... doen't work...

function onDeath(cid, corpse)
    doCreatureSay(cid, "hi", 1)
    local lootList = getMonsterLootList(getCreatureName(cid))
    for i, _ in pairs(lootList) do
        if lootList[i].count > 1 then
            local numb = math.random(1, lootList[i].count)
            doCreateItem(lootList[i].id, numb, corpse.pos)
            doCreatureSay(cid, getItemNameById(lootList[i].id), 1)
        else
            if math.random(1,100000) <= lootList[i].chance then
                doCreateItem(lootList[i].id, 1, corpse.pos)
                doCreatureSay(cid, getItemNameById(lootList[i].id), 1)
            end
        end
    end
    return TRUE
end

Note: The monster say hi when die, but don't say any ID.

Thanks!

Edit: How can I put the itens inside corpse??

maybe
doAddContainerItem(corpse, itemid,count)

Any other idea?

Anything about for i, _ in pairs........?

if you use 0.3.6pl1 i think is should be:

getMonsterLootList(cid)

 

[leituni]

maybe
doAddContainerItem(corpse, itemid,count)

doAddContainerItem(corpse.uid, 8777, 1)

worked fine!! thanks!

if you use 0.3.6pl1 i think is should be:

getMonsterLootList(cid)

getMonsterLootList() is used with name, not creature... When i use my first code, that i posted, it works fine, but in second code it doesn't work... it just don't start the for loop.

With a little help of you, I finally got it to work!!

Thanks!!

function onDeath(cid, corpse)
    local lootList = getMonsterLootList(getCreatureName(cid) .. " s")
    for i, _ in pairs(lootList) do
        if lootList[i].count > 1 then
            local numb = math.random(1, lootList[i].count)
            doAddContainerItem(corpse.uid, lootList[i].id, numb)
        else
            if math.random(1,100000) <= lootList[i].chance then
                doAddContainerItem(corpse.uid, lootList[i].id, 1)
            end
        end
    end
    return TRUE
end

the " s" in name is because the creature's name of file is diferent of the name in game. =]
