Hi!

I′m having some problems at writing an script for this. I want when a npc is killed by the player, the player gets "your journal has been updated"... can anyone write it for me? Many thanks!

Begin script_name        if ( OnDeath == 1 ) 	             Journal Journal_Index 10        endif  End

Most basic one i can think of.

If you wanted them to say something before they died (last words sort of thing) then you would need to use something slightly different. Just say if youre interested

Goodluck

I'd go with GetHealth < 1 instead of OnDeath because OnDeath can be missed by the engine, plus it can interfere with mods that monitor deaths like C&E.

Jac's suggestion will make it somewhat more reliable. You will need a doOnce guard, though:

begin "DM_Script"short doOnceif ( doOnce == false )    if ( GetHealth < 1 )        Set doOnce To 1        Journal "DM_Topic" index    endifendifend "DM_Script"

I normally use get health functions too, but i figured my suggestion was fairly explicit and simply.

Also, in my experience OnDeath has never failed. But then i have excellent performance so maybe this is only a problem for less than amazing computorz?

So, is rally needed to use gethealth 1 instad of Ondeath?

Performance has nothing to do with it. OnDeath and some other special flag variables (OnPCEquip, OnPCAdd, etc) and commands (OnCellChanged) can have finicky states. It's best to avoid them if there's a guaranteed-reliable method, and GetHealth is just that.

You need to do "GetHealth < 1" to make sure the NPC has 0 health. 0 is the typical dead state, although in some cases 1 or 2 health is also considered dead.
