You can use the @showmob command if you have it. That has the same effect as using the Convex Mirror item itself.
Or, if you just want to find out if the monster is still alive or not, there is a special NPC script for that.

@mobsearch but I'm not sure whether this is a custom command or not.

Yukino

@mobsearch is a default command, but it tells you the position (coordinates) of any monster on the map.
For Convex Mirrors, it only shows MvPs (most of the time) with a mini-map icon of the monster. No direct/numerical position is given which is the same as using @showmob command instead ^^. @showmob shows the monster icon on the map (of MvPs) instead of giving away the position of any monster on the map.

@showmobs <mobid|name> needs to be source-enabled for boss monsters, but some Highrate servers have that.

Yukino

Hm, it's already enabled for me as a default xD, so I guess it depends if you got newer server files?
Because @showmobs don't show all basic mobs as well (it just shows one monster at a time xD). It works for most MvPs, but not all (like LHZ bosses).

Okay, we're probably talking about different commands then; I used it a few years ago and here's what it was like back then:
you bashed in @showmobs <mobid|name> and it displayed said monsters with a white cross on the map.
On the server that had it enabled, it lead to complicated and boring farming on the long run, however (Hotkey @showmobs, grind up as many monsters as possible for faster exp / camp MVPs faster).

The newer version displays only boss monsters with the evil pink face, i guess? XD

Unless you create an item or NPC with "sc_start SC_BOSSMAPINFO,time value,0;" or autobonus that does that.. nope.. no idea :D

Yukino

Very evil, pink face indeed D<.
But anyways, it is as Kei said--you need a special NPC for that function, and even then, I wouldn't know how someone could code it in one NPC (need the NPC for each map for the MvPs since well... the maps are different for each of them).

It cannot be coded into an NPC in the city, the NPC can only trigger the script while he is on the map. Which means there has to be an NPC in each map which triggers a script attached to the PID.

or, as Kei said, we can make a custom item and script it to use the atcommand @mobsearch when consumed.

This is what my limited knowledge tells me..:)
