Getting spawned NPCs to delete on death

[caramellcube]

There's probably something simple I've overlooked but I want to spawn some NPCs but make sure they get deleted shortly after death, some melting away instantly with the plasma effect without leaving a goo pile, others vanishing the next time the player leaves the cell. I can do object scripting but haven't done anything much with NPCs before. Do I have to make a scripted base effect, link that to an actor effect, then give it them somehow?

NPC's use object scripts too. Just use the On Death block to enable a timer in the GameMode block, then another timer while the plasma effect is playing, then disable and markfordelete just before the plasma effect ends.

thanks, I'll try that :)
