Lua Print killers

[nanhuto]

Hi guys, i'm trying to do script of a monster, and then i was wondering if it would be able to do a script who would print the names (like in deathList). Thing is, i probabily didn't wrote the code correctly (im newb in lua).
Basically, what i wanted to do is to give storage for all players who hitted the monster. The creaturescript comes with a kill event, i seted for death. When i tryed to print it, it didnt work, probably because i didnt wrote it correct.
Here is the script:

local bossForms = {
    ['snake god essence'] = {
        text = 'IT\'S NOT THAT EASY MORTALS! FEEL THE POWER OF THE GOD!',
        newForm = 'snake thing'
    },
    ['snake thing'] = {
        text = 'NOOO! NOW YOU HERETICS WILL FACE MY GODLY WRATH!',
        newForm = 'lizard abomination'
    },
    ['lizard abomination'] = {
        text = 'YOU ... WILL ... PAY WITH ETERNITY ... OF AGONY!',
        newForm = 'mutated zalamon'
    }
}

function onDeath(cid, target, deathList)

    local targetMonster = target:getMonster()
    if not targetMonster then
        return true
    end

    if targetMonster:getName():lower() == 'mutated zalamon' then
        player:say('texte', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)   
        return true
    end
   


   
   


end



function onKill(player, target)
    local targetMonster = target:getMonster()
    if not targetMonster then
        return true
    end

    if targetMonster:getName():lower() == 'mutated zalamon' then
        player:say('texte', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
        Game.setStorageValue(Storage.WrathoftheEmperor.Mission11, -1)
        return true
    end

    local bossConfig  = bossForms[targetMonster:getName():lower()]
    if not bossConfig then
        player:say('texte', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
        return true
    end

    Game.createMonster(bossConfig.newForm, targetMonster:getPosition(), false, true)
    player:say(bossConfig.text, TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
    return true
end

Game.setStorageValue is a global storage, which has nothing to do with the player, player:setStorageValue is used for the player.

You can use getDamageMap() to search through the attackers of the creature and give them a storage value:

for pid, damage in pairs(targetMonster:getDamageMap()) do
    local dude = Player(pid)
    if dude then
        dude:setStorageValue(12345, 1)
    end
end

Thanks for the explanation, its already something. I wanna know if that part of the code is correct:

function onDeath(cid, target, deathList)

local targetMonster = target:getMonster()
if not targetMonster then
return true
end

if targetMonster:getName():lower() == 'mutated zalamon' then
player:say('texte', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
return true
end







end

If not, what i can do to print whatever i wanna when it dies? Thanks.

    end
end

That sounds good, could i really ask something dumb? I know for is a loop, but whas is PID?

 

[Codex NG]

pid = player id

its like saying

local pid = player:getId()

Edit : cause I like to use code tags

 

[nanhuto]

pid = player id

Cool, what is CID then? And player? (player = cid?)

The variable identifiers don't mean anything in particular, its the values they hold, cid could just as easily be labeled farfenugen.

Oh, thanks. Lets say i wanna make (when the monster days) that it print out something (like the list of the killers), how could i do it? Is onDeath the correct function for it?
