{Solved}

I have been researching monster storage values... but I have yet to find a way to do it on 0.2.15.
Any help is appreciated.

You can't do it in Lua. XML is parsed by C++ and any additions to .xml file will force you to change the source code as there is no other way to retrieve that value. It's not a rocket science.

Monsters can obtain a storage value, like players, so it may be helpful.

@Up - edited thread title and info, so above post irrelevent now.

use creature uid as variable, lua state is global

sry for tabbing, I used this text field as notepad

if you need to remove creature later:
eg.

function removeMob(uid)
      if Creature(uid) then
            doRemoveCreature(uid)
      end
end

mob = doSummonCreature(name, pos) -- returns uid
addEvent(removeMob, 15000, mob)

if you need to set creature storage (with value)

monster_storages = {}

function on...(...)
pid = doSummonCreature(name, pos)
      if monster_storages[pid] == nil then monster_storages[pid] = {} end
      monster_storages[pid][23485] = 2 -- value
end

or simply do it this way(works till reload/server restart):

add this to lib file(global or compat or your own):

monster_storages = {}

function doCreatureSetStorage(cid, key, value)
       if monster_storages[cid] == nil then monster_storages[cid] = {} end
             monster_storages[cid][key] = value
       return true
end

function getCreatureStorage(cid, key, value)
      if monster_storages[cid] == nil then
             return -1
      else
             if monster_storages[cid][key] ~= nil then
                    return monster_storages[cid][key]
             else
                    return -1
             end
      end
end

Could you explain this a little better please?
I would like to set an ALREADY summoned monster's storage, when a tool is used.

Figured it out, thanks.
