hello everyone, i have this simple script
```lua
local function PlayerKillsMonster(event, player)
print("Creature killed.")
end
RegisterPlayerEvent(7, PlayerKillsMonster)
```
let's say i only want it to print to console if a player kills a rare. isElite does only return true or false, not what type the monster is (rare, rare elite, elite). and the following flags
```lua
creature:GetUnitFlags()
creature:GetUnitFlagsTwo()
creature:GetNPCFlags()
creature:GetExtraFlags()
```
do not return "rank" in creature_template.
should i use an if-else statement with all IDs of rare creatures and check in the lua script or fetch rare creatures via SQL and check against the result?

If there's no API for it, you can SELECT all creature entries that are rares from the database, add them to a table and look up of the creature entry is on that list. It seems like a rather costly approach to do that for every killed creature.

Pretty sure it's available in the uint32values

a table in a separate database or inside the lua script itself? but basically saving the 200 entries somewhere without going over everything everytime
