Is there a script that...

Hello!I'm currently starting to mod and in the entry qest, the player has to kill an enemy.I want to enable a global flag after that enemy is dead, but at first, I need to know the variable.I think it will work a "if" script, like this:if(CharacterIsDead("bandit_boss", 1));{SetDialogFlagValue("quest_solved", 1); }But the "CharacterIsDead" variable doesn't exist, but how can i tell a script that a certain character shall be dead?

"That's not how you should do it at all", my favourite line. "When a character is dead" should be placed in the quest's conditions, in some phase - so that you'll have:1. Quest beginning: condition "Dialogue line" "Okay, I'll go kill the bandit"2. Phase 1: condition "Character is dead" = "bandit_boss#1" - and here, if you absolutely need it, you can add an "On phase complete" action - "set dialog flag".3. (probably) Phase 2: condition "Dialogue line" "I killed the boss, now pay me"-- Sinus

yes, i got that all. i just don't get the flag switched via script, as the script that changes the flag just won't start...

Well, how exactly is your questfile built? What phases do you have, what conditions on them, what "on completed" actions? Where is the script attached?

You can set the "script set" field of your enemy NPC's template to "custom" and then put the name of all the default scripts (def_onatkbegin, def_onblocked, etc...) except for def_ondeath. You can modify this script (rename it for example: bob_ondeath, and save) adding the command you want: SetDialogFlagValue("bob_dead", TRUE);orAddJournalEntry("Plot","etc, etc...");bye

It should work, just as you said. Doesn't it?
