    }

As u can see above i spawn the mob as `CHAR_TYPE_MONSTER` but when I m checking if
 

		if (attacker->IsNPC() || target->IsNPC())
		{
			sys_log(0, "MOB_ATTACK_FUNC Victim is NPC not Monster not attackable");
			lua_pushboolean(L, 0);
			lua_pushstring(L, "MOB_ATTACK_FUNC Victim is NPC not Monster not attackable");
			return 0;
		}

This is always returning true, and bcs of it, i cannot set `bool bAttackSuccess1 = attacker->Attack(target, 0);`
Because apparently a npc cannot attack

does anybody know how to spawn a mob (Character instance) that is not NPC but mosnter so it can attack other monsters?

			return 0;
		}

This is always returning true, and bcs of it, i cannot set `bool bAttackSuccess1 = attacker->Attack(target, 0);`
Because apparently a npc cannot attack

does anybody know how to spawn a mob (Character instance) that is not NPC but mosnter so it can attack other monsters?

 

Seems like this function is trying to create a new table in db ? is this mob u trying to spawn already an NPC In mob db ?
