Deprecated Darkstar fourms

I want to have certain items drop from beastmen only in various regions. But first, I need to differentiate between beastman and non-beastman. How would I do this through mobs.lua?

Since mob is passed into the onMobDeathEx function, I thought I'd use this as a test at the end of the mobs.lua file. No matter the type of mob, it always reverts to else (not beastman). Is 'BEASTMEN' an invalid argument for isMobType()? Oddly when I change it to 'BEASTMAN' the client crashes, indicating to me that 'BEASTMEN' is a valid input.

Where is "BEASTMEN" defined? If it isn't defined, then it's nil and your logic fails.

Code: Select all

if (mob:isMobType(BEASTMEN) == true) then
    player:PrintToPlayer("Beastman!", 0xD)
else
    player:PrintToPlayer("Not beastman", 0xD)
end

player:PrintToPlayer(string.format("Beastman! %u, 0xD));

Found I needed to use mob:getSystem() instead. Wanted the m_ecosystem (7 for beastmen).
