Easiest way for instant respawn?

[saintgrimm92]

I'm trying to think of ways to instantly respawn an NPC as soon as it dies. Not resurrect the same NPC, create a duplicate.

 

The only thing I can think of would be creating a unique cell just for the NPC, call the NPC out of the cell with a quest, "NPC.MoveTo(SpawnLoc)".


And on the NPC, add a script with something like:

Event OnDeath(Blah Blah)
If GetStage < (stage)
UniqueCell.Reset()
NPC.MoveTo(SpawnLoc)
EndIf
EndEvent

Or is there a better way to do this? I couldn't find a "respawn" Function and came across reset while searching for one. If this won't work, is there any way to do it?

Instead you can use PlaceActorAtMe:

 

Scriptname TM_ActorScript extends Actor

Int Property Stage Auto
Quest Property MyQuest Auto 
ObjectReference Property SpawnLoc Auto

Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller) 
    If MyQuest.GetStage() < Stage
        SpawnLoc.PlaceActorAtMe(Self.GetActorBase())
    Endif
EndEvent

Thank you! I'll try that out instead :)
