replace onSpawn func to this:

local bosses = { "Orshabaal", "Demodras" }
function Monster:onSpawn(position, startup, artificial)
    local name = self:getName()
    local _sendMessage = true

    if isInArray(bosses, name) then
       if _sendMessage then
          Game.broadcastMessage("Attention! " .. name .. " has been spawned.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
       end

    end
 
    if hasEventCallback(EVENT_CALLBACK_ONSPAWN) then
        return EventCallback(EVENT_CALLBACK_ONSPAWN, self, position, startup, artificial)
    else
        return true
    end
end

make sure onSpawn its enabled in data/events/events.xml

<event class="Monster" method="onSpawn" enabled="1" />

then create a file "bossDeath.lua" in data/scripts

local creaturescript = CreatureEvent("BOSS_SYSTEM_onDeath")
function creaturescript.onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamage, unjustified, mostDamage_unjustified)
    local name = creature:getName()

check on prints if scripts are executed correctly, maybe i misspeled the BroadcastMessage func.

local bosses = { "Orshabaal", "Demodras" }
function Monster:onSpawn(position, startup, artificial)
    local name = self:getName()
    local _sendMessage = true

    if isInArray(bosses, name) then
       print("[Boss System] - Spawned")
       if _sendMessage then
          Game.broadcastMessage("Attention! " .. name .. " has been spawned.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
       end
       self:registerEvent("BOSS_SYSTEM_onDeath")

    if hasEventCallback(EVENT_CALLBACK_ONSPAWN) then

end

local creaturescript = CreatureEvent("BOSS_SYSTEM_onDeath")
function creaturescript.onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamage, unjustified, mostDamage_unjustified)

    local name = creature:getName()

Maybe a globalevent onThink using getSpectators

Maybe a globalevent onThink using getSpectators

Untested.

Set to check once per minute. (60000 = 60 seconds)

<globalevent name="bossAnnouncer" interval="60000" script="bossAnnouncer.lua"/>

Loop through all boss locations, and if a new boss is found at that location, broadcast message.

local bosses = {
    {spawnPosition = Position(1000, 1000, 7), creatureName = "munster", message = "An oversized rat has been spotted in Thais sewers."},
    {spawnPosition = Position(1000, 1000, 7), creatureName = "boss_name", message = "A boss_name has spawned."},
}
local creatureIds = {}

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
    for i = 1, #bosses do
        local spectators = Game.getSpectators(bosses[i].spawnPosition)
        for _, creature in ipairs(spectators) do
            if creature:getName():lower() == bosses[i].creatureName:lower() then
                if not creatureIds[i] or creatureIds[i] ~= creature:getId() then
                    creatureIds[i] = creature:getId()
                    Game.broadcastMessage(bosses[i].message, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_ORANGE)
                end
                break
            end
        end
    end
    return true
end

Thank you it works well

If you would like a way that doesn't require onThink and check for spectators you can do this.

add a file in data/lib name it mapbosses.lua

--[[
name: Boss name
pos: Position he should spawn
time: How long after server start up should the boss spawn. (minutes)
respawn: How long after it is killed for it to spawn again. (minutes)
msg: Message when the boss spawns
msgKilled: Message when the boss is killed
]]--

MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG = {
    [1] = {id = 1, name = "Demon", pos = Position(1000, 1000, 7), time = 30, respawn = 60, msg = "Demon Spawned!", msgKilled = "Demon has been slain!"},
    [2] = {id = 2, name = "Morgaroth", pos = Position(1000, 1000, 7), time = 45, respawn = 60, msg = "Morgaroth Spawned!", msgKilled = "Morgaroth has been slain!"}
}

MAP_BOSSES_IDS = {}

for i = 1, #MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG do
    MAP_BOSSES_IDS[i] = 0
end

function spawnMapBoss(id)
    local bossConf = MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG[id]
    if not bossConf then return true end
    
    if MAP_BOSSES_IDS[id] and MAP_BOSSES_IDS[id] ~= 0 then return true end
    
    local BOSS = Game.createMonster(bossConf.name, bossConf.pos)
    MAP_BOSSES_IDS[id] = BOSS:getId()
    return true
end

Make sure in data/lib/lib.lua you include the file

dofile('data/lib/mapbosses.lua')

Change the onThink to onStartup in globalevents

function onStartUp()
    for i = 1, #MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG do
        addEvent(spawnMapBoss, MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG[i].time * 60 * 1000, MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG[i].id)
    end
    return true
end

add a file in data/creaturescripts/scripts name is mapbosskill.lua

function onKill(creature, target)
    if not creature:isPlayer() then return true end
    if not target:isMonster() then return true end
    
    for i = 1, #MAP_BOSSES_IDS do
        if target:getId() == MAP_BOSSES_IDS[i] then
            Game.broadcastMessage(MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG[i].msgKilled, 1)
            addEvent(spawnMapBoss, MAP_BOSSES_CONFIG[i].respawn * 60 * 1000, i)
            MAP_BOSSES_IDS[i] = 0
        end
    end    
    return true
end

in data/creaturescripts/creaturescripts.xml add

<event type="kill" name="MapBossKill" script="mapbosskill.lua" />

and last in data/creaturescripts/scripts/login.lua add

player:registerEvent("MapBossKill")

This has a little more configuration and will just store the bosses id's in memory. The main problem with the pervious code is if the boss is pulled far enough away another will spawn even if its not dead.

Slight caveat, in that rme is spawning the boss, not the code. xP

Otherwise yeah it'd be way easier, and not need spectator checks at all, since we'd have full control of the creature ids inside the script.

True, this will make it so bosses don't need to be added in RME. Good catch Xikini
