Storage Value of Named Target

[Cadyan]

1. I know you can check your own storage value with = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage)
2. Or you can check your selected target's storage value with = getPlayerStorageValue(getCreatureTarget(cid), storage)

But how can I check the storage value of a player when I need to use his name to cast the spell and while he is NOT targeted? Example: exura sio "druid
I just want to check the storage value of a player when I cast exura sio on them.

+rep for whoever can help me


EDIT:
3. I have figured out a way to get this to work with TALKACTIONS. Can somone figure out a way for spells?

if(param ~= "") then
getPlayerStorageValue(getPlayerByName(param), storage)

function onSay(cid, words, param)
	local t = string.explode(param, ",")
	local tid = getPlayerByNameWildcard(t[1])
	getPlayerStorageValue(tid, t[2] or storage, t[3] or 1)

I am using Mystic Spirit 0.2.14
getPlayerByNameWildcard is not a function
Also, I need this for spells. I already figured out the talkactions.
