Syntax

[Getmobdrops] (<mob id>);

Description

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.

Upon executing this,

Array	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
