View source for Getmobdrops

== Syntax ==
* [[getmobdrops]] (<mob id>);

== Description ==
<p>This command will find all drops of the specified mob and return the item 
IDs and drop percentages into arrays of temporary global variables. 
'getmobdrops' returns 1 if successful and 0 if the mob ID doesn't exist.</p>

Upon executing this,

!Description
|-
| '''$@MobDrop_item[]''' || is a global temporary number array which contains the item IDs of the monster's drops.
|-
| '''$@MobDrop_rate[]''' || is a global temporary number array which contains the drop percentages of each item. (1 = .01%)
|-
| '''$@MobDrop_count''' || is the number of item drops found.
|}

Be sure to use '''$@MobDrop_count''' to go through the arrays, and not [[getarraysize]], because the temporary global arrays are not cleared between runs of [[getmobdrops]]. If a mob with 7 item drops is looked up, 
the arrays would have 7 elements. But if another mob is looked up and it only has 5 item drops, the server will not clear the arrays for you, overwriting the values instead. So in addition to returning the 5 item drops, the 6th and 7th elements from the last call remain, and you will get 5+2 item drops, of which the last 2 don't belong to the new mob. 
'''$@MobDrop_count''' will always contain the correct number (5), unlike 
[[getarraysize]] which would return 7 in this case.

== Examples ==

 	// get a Mob ID from the user
 	input .@mob_id;
 	
 	if (getmobdrops(.@mob_id)) {	// 'getmobdrops' returns 1 on success
 		// immediately copy global temporary variables into scope 
 		// variables, since we don't know when 'getmobdrops' will get 
 		// called again for another mob, overwriting your global temporary 
 		// variables.
 		set .@count, $@MobDrop_count;
 		copyarray .@item[0],$@MobDrop_item[0],.@count;
 		copyarray .@rate[0],$@MobDrop_rate[0],.@count;
 		
 		mes getmonsterinfo(.@mob_id,MOB_NAME) + " - " + .@count + " drops found:";
 		for( set .@i,0; .@i < .@count; set .@i,.@i +1 ) {
 			mes .@item[.@i] + " (" + getitemname(.@item[.@i]) + ") " 
 			+ .@rate[.@i]/100 + ((.@rate[.@i]%100 < 10) ? ".0":".") + .@rate[.@i]%100 + "%";
 		}
 	} else {
 		mes "Unknown monster ID.";
 	}
 	close;
