Is there a way to let a NPC run a script when it dies?

[Lx Xzit]

I need make a script that when a fireball dies causes something like an explosion, but I don't know how to check if the NPC is alive or not because with the NPC script system, because when it dies the script will stop to executing. Is there a way to do this?

[Zwertll]

Here an example:

Code: Select all

do
   'set "n" as the "send ID to a variable" option of specific NPC first
   with npc(getId(val(n)))
      if .health = 0 then
         call showmsg("NPC was killed")
         exit do
      end if
   end with
   call sleep(1)   
loop


All credits to KFCMario. Remember of create a variable n.
If you want, however, the player fireball...

Thanks for the help! I tried everything and it's just too difficult do this with a fireball, I mean, if I'd have to work with only one fireball it wouldn't be a problem, but I have to work with multiple fireballs, which is really hard. So I give up, I'm gonna make the fireball from scratch so that I can execute the script I want before the NPCt dies. Thanks a lot anyway!

Executing a script with the Auto-Run event "NPC - Death", sysval(param1) stands for the id of the triggering(dead) NPC

And do you poo only have acess to the id? Can you also use the .x or .y etc.
