Lua [TFS 1.x] Registering creatureevents to monsters in XML

[Glecko]

Hello again

I am currently experimenting with TFS 1.1, and I noticed that it is no longer possible to do this in the monsters XML files:

<script>
<event name="creature event 1"/>
<event name="creature event 2"/>
</script>

I noticed that it is possible to register a script in the first line of the XML, like this:

<monster name="Undead cavebear" nameDescription="a undead cavebear" race="undead" experience="595" speed="230" manacost="0" script="creature event 1">

However, as far as I can tell, this only allows to reference script files with creature events that are located in /monsters/scripts, and, most importantly, only the first script I declare seems to work (like, adding script="creature event 1" script="creature event 2" script="creature event 3" etc. won't work).

My question: Isn't it possible to register creature events to monsters through the XML file anymore? If yes, how?

Any information will be greatly appreciated

Nothing has changed, you are still able to register a script, and creature events to monsters through their XML file. There might have been a misconfiguration on your end.

Here is a sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<monster name="Rotworm" nameDescription="a rotworm" race="blood" experience="40" speed="150" manacost="305" script="someScriptName.lua">
    <health now="65" max="65" />
    <look type="26" corpse="5967" />
    <targetchange interval="4000" chance="0" />
    <flags>
        <flag summonable="0" />
        <flag attackable="1" />
        <flag hostile="1" />
        <flag illusionable="0" />
        <flag convinceable="1" />
        <flag pushable="0" />
        <flag canpushitems="0" />
        <flag canpushcreatures="0" />
        <flag targetdistance="1" />
        <flag staticattack="70" />
        <flag runonhealth="0" />
    </flags>
    <attacks>
        <attack name="melee" interval="2000" min="0" max="-40" />
    </attacks>
    <defenses armor="10" defense="10" />
    <loot>
        <item name="gold coin" countmax="17" chance="71760" />
        <item id="2376" chance="3000" /><!-- sword -->
        <item name="mace" chance="4500" />
        <item name="meat" chance="20000" />
        <item name="ham" chance="20120" />
        <item name="worm" countmax="3" chance="3000" />
        <item name="lump of dirt" chance="10000" />
    </loot>
    <script>
        <event name="someEventName" />
    </script>
</monster>

    <script>
        <event name="someEventName" />
    </script>
</monster>

Oh I just discovered what the problem was! While in TFS 0.4 it was possible to do this:

<script>
<event name="event 1"/>
</script>
<script>
<event name="event 2"/>
</script>

In TFS 1.x this is no longer possible, only the first "script" child is read for creature events (which makes a lot of sense haha). Thanks a lot!
