Lua [TFS 1.4.2] Make something happen when killing a monster

[bravespiritz]

I have a Arena. in the same arena there will spawn different monsters when you kill a monster.

example when I kill a troll another will appear. is it possible to do?

Do not forget to leave information about the engine you are using:

For example:
TFS 1.x+ / TFS 0.4 / Canary / ect...

This is very important so that we can fast help you.

Something like this should work.

local spawnPosition = Position(1000, 1000, 7)
local monsterList = {
    "rat", "cave rat", "troll",
    "demon", "rotworm"
}

local creatureevent = CreatureEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")

function creatureevent.onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamageKiller, lastHitUnjustified, mostDamageUnjustified)
    local rand = math.random(#monsterList)
    local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[rand], spawnPosition)
    monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")
    return true
end

creatureevent:register()

local globalevent = GlobalEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnStartup")

function globalevent.onStartup()
    local rand = math.random(#monsterList)
    local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[rand], spawnPosition)
    monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")
    return true
end

globalevent:register()

it works thanks, but If I dont want it to be random. If I want in this order. how would I go about changing it
1. rat",
2. "cave rat",
3. "troll",
4."rotworm"

4."rotworm"

So that it rotates? 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4?

Like this I guess.

local monsterIndex = 1
local spawnPosition = Position(1000, 1000, 7)
local monsterList = {
    "rat",
    "cave rat",
    "troll",
    "rotworm"
}

local creatureevent = CreatureEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")

function creatureevent.onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamageKiller, lastHitUnjustified, mostDamageUnjustified)
    monsterIndex = monsterIndex < #monsterList and monsterIndex + 1 or 1
    local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[monsterIndex], spawnPosition)
    monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")
    return true
end

creatureevent:register()

local globalevent = GlobalEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnStartup")

function globalevent.onStartup()
    local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[monsterIndex], spawnPosition)
    monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")
    return true
end

globalevent:register()

Yes so it rotates, but after rotworm it has a delay on 20sec

Put all of your desires in the first post.
Scattering them along like this is annoying.

local delay = 20
local monsterIndex = 1
local spawnPosition = Position(1000, 1000, 7)
local monsterList = {
    "rat",
    "cave rat",
    "troll",
    "rotworm"
}

local function createCreatureFromExternalTable(index)
    local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[index], spawnPosition)
    monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")
end

local creatureevent = CreatureEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")

function creatureevent.onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamageKiller, lastHitUnjustified, mostDamageUnjustified)
    monsterIndex = monsterIndex < #monsterList and monsterIndex + 1 or 1
    addEvent(createCreatureFromExternalTable, (monsterIndex == 1 and delay or 0) * 1000)
    return true
end

creatureevent:register()

local globalevent = GlobalEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnStartup")

function globalevent.onStartup()
    local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[monsterIndex], spawnPosition)
    monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonsterOnDeath")
    return true
end
