I guess if those 11 ppls were polite they each would have posted "I'm sorry, I do not know". Thats the problem with ppls. No manners.

The answer is maybe. Here's one way to do it:

The only way to give your characters a death animation in the first place is to use animated stamps linked to their death events. Create a global to keep track of whatever attack your PC is using. Give every weapon and spell an extra event (in the "hit'" link) that changes that global to the appropriate value (for example, 1 for bleeding death, 2 for burning death). Have the death event check this global with a conditional before calling the applicable death animation stamp.

Since a death event is just like any other event, you can easily modify the outcomes by using globals and conditionals, and calling whatever event you want to execute from within the death event.

Since this is the death of the player, you would need to keep track of the NPCs weapon, not the player's. I do not know if the "hit" event is executed when an NPC wields a weapon or not. This would be worth checking to make sure that this is possible. If it is checked, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Correct. You will need to do some testing to see if this is the case or not.

It is. I've mentioned before that it's really the only way to give a hostile npc any real influence over the game aside from killing or being killed. Every one of our monsters,even the ones who can't technically hold weapons, is given a weapon to equip. I highly recommend it.

Ah, excellent.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Does the "hit" mean when an NPC hits the Player or when the Player hits the NPC? So does the NPC "feel" hitting the Player or does the NPC "feel" itself being hit?

In this instance, when the NPC hits the player. This also isn't an NPC event, but a weapon event. So the weapon, wielded by the NPC, knows when it hits the player.

This make sense?

I think so. We're talking about the opportunity for events when creating an NPC, in the NPC window under "hit." Right?

There isn't a window in the NPC wizard for "hit." Not unless I'm forgetting something...

I'm talking about in the Item wizard under "Links."

Then in the NPC wizard under the "Items" tab you give this item to the NPC. The NPC will automatically equip and use the item, and when it attacks the player the item's event links will be executed.

No, I'm forgetting something. It's clear now. Thanks!
