SetActorLoot

What a dead actor’s or animal’s body gives the players who search it.

The list a search takes from: {class = <item>, amount = <n>, health = <0-100>}, a class by its name, id or GUID, money as the item money in tenths of a Groschen ({class = "money", amount = 150} is 15 Groschen), at most 64 entries. Set it whenever you like - at the creation, in OnActorDeath, later: while the body lies dead with anything on it, every player sees the game’s own loot prompt on it and searches it the game’s way, an animal’s body too. What a search takes is the searcher’s and the list loses it (GetActorLoot shows what is left); once it is empty the prompt goes. An empty list takes it away at once. OnPlayerLootActor may refuse a search. The body stays until DestroyEntity. This is the actor’s own list - what it wears and carries (SetActorInventory) is not given up unless you put it here.

Example

-- every wolf of the hunt carries a pelt and some meat
local wolf = CreateAnimal("wolf", x, y, -1, 0)
SetActorLoot(wolf, {{class = "skin_wolf", amount = 1}, {class = "wolfMeat", amount = 2}})

-- a bandit's carried things and his purse are on his body when he falls
function OnActorDeath(id, killer)
  if GetEntityData(id, "role") == "bandit" then
    local loot = {{class = "money", amount = math.random(50, 300)}}
    for _, item in ipairs(GetActorInventory(id) or {}) do
      if not item.worn then loot[#loot + 1] = item end
    end
    SetActorLoot(id, loot)
    SetTimer(function() DestroyEntity(id) end, 300000)   -- the body lies five minutes
  end
end
