TFS 1.X+ (TFS 1.3) How does MonsterType:addLoot() work?

[Lava Titan]

I tried multiple ways to make this work but I can't seem to get how the function works

MonsterType(Rat):addLoot()


MonsterType(Rat):addLoot(2160)


MonsterType(Rat):addLoot(2160, 1)


MonsterType(Rat):addLoot(ItemType(2160, 1))

But it's always returning nil, how is the function supposed to work?

Also I found in sources there is something like Loot()

and I tried

MonsterType(Rat):addLoot(Loot(2160, 1))

My objective is to do a RevScript that adds loot to a list of creatures that I choose, so when you kill those creatures they give normal XML loot + Lua script loot

I don't really have the time to test, but I know you want to put rat in quotations, like this "rat"

monsterType:addLoot(loot) expect a table as a parameter

example:

monsterType:addLoot({id = 2023, chance = 0.1})
monsterType:addLoot({id = 2148, maxCount = 100, chance = 100})

these tables are always added, so be careful, or you will end up with a rat that will give thousands of objects if you call this function every so often
that is why it is only called, in the configuration of the monster type

and of course follow the advice of @Xikini, the MonsterType(name) constructor expects a string variable as a parameter

If your purpose is to make certain monsters, depending on certain conditions, drop some extra things, then better use the function Monster:onDropLoot(corpse) event since monsterType:addLoot(loot) was not created for that purpose, as this affects all monsters of this type, and not just the one you are killing
