Check kill?

[Maximum Adam]

Working on a script, and I'm wondering if there is a way to check if it killed a certain creature, and that it will only leave once it kills said creature. Anyone fill me in?

Here's a script to go to a label when a certain monster is killed. Should give you a good starting point.

local monsterToLeave = 'demon' -- make sure it's lowercase
local labelToLeave = 'Leave'

LootMessageProxy.OnReceive('check_kill', function(proxy, message)
	if string.match(message, monsterToLeave) then
		Walker.Goto(labelToLeave)
	end
end

Thank you very much, could you please explain to me how this works, getting there on my scripting, but new things, I'd like to know how it works, if you would be so kind

Edit: also, will it leave as soon as it kills it? Or should I have a check label still?

Here's the release thread that details how to handle message proxies: http://forums.xenobot.net/showthread...ssage-Handling

Basically, creating a loot message proxy that handles messages such as 'Loot of a xxx: ...'. The message is passed to a function you create, where you can deal with it. In the function I created, it checks if the name of your monster name is in the message, if it is it makes the walker go to the designated label.

Bookmarked and thank you for the quick response, also sorry for being a noob pain in the ass

Really going to need the message proxies for the next part of my script, working on New Frontier

This is exactly the lua code I was looking for, but it doesn't seem to work when I add it into my script.

--    Leave after Boss --
 
local monsterToLeave = 'demodras'  -- leave bosses name lowercase
local labelToLeave = 'Leavehunt'


LootMessageProxy.OnReceive('check_kill', function(proxy, message))
    if string.match(message, monsterToLeave) then
        Walker.Goto(labelToLeave)
    end
end

So I'm trying to make it when you receive the message after the kill saying "Your deeds have been noticed...etc..etc.." It jumps the walker waypoint to the 'leave', or 'refil' label..

PS : I even tried placing the two 'locals' with the rest of the locals at the top of my script, and placed the "LootMessageProxy~" at the bottom of the script. Idk, confusing myself. When I try to launch the whole script, it bugs out and it give's an error.

Any help would be awesome, thanks.
