Lua [TFS 1.0] if Param == is monster problem

[TheChaos]

Hey I'm using TFS 1.0 the lastest compile,

I can't seem to get this check to work anyone got any ideas?

if isMonster(Param) == false then
doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "There isn't any monster named "..param..".")
doSendMagicEffect(pos, CONST_ME_POFF)
return false
end

lua is case-sensitive. Change the isMonster(Param) call to:

isMonster(param)

Thanks for replying it still didn't work :/

 

[Damc]

Oh, I didn't spot it at first - the isMonster(...) function is used to determine whether an existing creature is a monster.

 

[TheChaos]

Is there any way I can check if the param is equal to a monsters name?

 

[Damc]

1. You could check for the existence of the monster's *.xml file.
2. Spawn it in a hidden location, if it gets spawned, kill it .
3. Write a C++ function to do it.

maybe :

if MonsterType(param:lower()) == nil then

Yeah that work thanks! I have no idea to rep, otherwise I would!
