Death spawn scripting?

[doctorzero0]

I'm relatively new to modding, so I was curious--is there a script that has an NPC spawn on the death of another? Any answer would be appreciated.

Yes, and it's pretty easy. But it does depends, do you want to spawn the npc at a specific location or at the place where the npc died. You can also make the npc spawn a specific amount away from the dead npc.

make your first NPC (the one that will die) and place him where you want him.

 

make your second NPC and place him where you want him to spawn. on his REF, make him initially disabled.

 

create a script for your first NPC and instead of beginning on gamemode, use on death. then make the script enable your second NPC.

Well an more efficient way of doing that would be to make a xmarker that is always enabled, and instead of making the npc enabled simply make a script begin ondeath like this

Scn deathscript

Begin ondeath
XmarkerREF.placeatme MyNpc
End

 

This script would be put on the npc that will die.

That was fast...still, thanks for the tip, WastedTimeYT. I'll give it a shot.

Looks like it works! Thanks.

 

And just one more thing--is there a script that clears up corpses after a fight? Just curious.
