Lua Storing old outfit in some variable to cast it in another script

[Obito]

Good day,
I'm trying to store a variable that captures the player's "old outfit/looktype" so I can revert back to it later if needed. I have created a new condition that changes the player's outfit, but I need to keep track of the previous look. Can you help me determine the best way to store the old outfit so I can revert back to it using a revert script? I want to ensure that I can melt the current outfit and return to the original one

local combat = createCombatObject()
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, 1)
setCombatParam(combat, COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_ARROW)

function onCastSpell(creature, var)
   local targetCreature = Creature(var.number)
   local playerDirection = targetCreature:getDirection()
   if targetCreature:isPlayer() then
      if playerDirection == WEST then
         targetCreature:setOutfit({lookTypeEx = 7171})
      elseif playerDirection == NORTH then
         targetCreature:setOutfit({lookTypeEx = 7171})
      elseif playerDirection == EAST then
         targetCreature:setOutfit({lookTypeEx = 7306})
      elseif playerDirection == SOUTH then
         targetCreature:setOutfit({lookTypeEx = 7305})
      end
   end
end

If it's only meant to be a temporary outfit change.. then you should probably use a condition.

local condition = Condition(CONDITION_OUTFIT)
condition:setOutfit({lookTypeEx = 7171})
condition:setTicks(time) -- probably in milliseconds. -1 means forever, until death/relog/it's removed
player:addCondition(condition)

otherwise.. your only other viable option is using storage values.. because there's no other way to retain the information between player sessions accurately.

So you'd need to store everything about the character.. in separate storages.

lookType
lookHead
lookBody
lookLegs
lookFeet
lookAddons
lookMount

Edit : this the best answer how can I mark it?

Should be a checkmark to the side of the post under the up/down arrows.

If not, just report the post and a mod will do it for you.
