No easy way to run a script on any actor death?

[ScottyDoesKnow]

I don't have much experience with the creation kit or scripts, having mostly used FO4Edit. But after a bit of research, am I correct that there's no easy way to run a script on any actor death? The examples seem to show some really hacky stuff like putting an aura on the player to attach the script to all nearby enemies. Would F4SE help with this at all?

Depends of what you want, maybe use the story manager with a kill actor event quest.

I was looking to make a mod that removes ammo from guns, so you don't have to pick all the guns up and drop em to get the ammo. I assumed the easiest thing was to write a script that takes it out of the gun and adds it to the inventory on death. Looks like the story manager can trigger correctly, assuming I can get the quest to silently just run a script and end this could work. I'll look into it some more, thanks for the suggestion.

I'm curious about detecting ammo count and removing it. AFAIK there's no way to determine how much ammo is in the gun or remove it. And before someone says use GetAmmo(), that only returns the ammo type not any sort of count.
