TrinityCore WotLK Creature/Player/Gameobject custom data

[LordSeaworth]

I thought i wrote somewhere that you can have variables per player/creature/gameobject?
Or am i totally wrong.

Like

Creature:SomeCustomData("SomeCustomVariable")

Or something in that way.
I can't seem to find information about it.
I think it was for eluna. not sure thought.

Can anyone understand my confusing explanation.

Afaik there is no specific function for something like that.
You could create a table in Lua and add your creature and your variable value to it.

One way is like Kaev said.

However there is another way to store some data.
You should already have this in your lua_scripts folder:
https://github.com/ElunaLuaEngine/Eluna/blob/master/extensions/ObjectVariables.ext

because of the .ext ending it should load before your normal lua scripts.
Otherwise try using require("ObjectVariables")

You can use it like this:
creature:SetData("some key", 123)
print(creature:GetData("some key")) -- prints 123
