I've looked at smallgs scripts and I can't quite get it, I've tried to set a global variable go up when I kill an enemy but that don't work on the ai exit script. How can I tell when an entity is dead ? I copied the fast zombies ai and added this to it but nothing happens when the zombie dies, I have it prompted on screen the variable to watch it.

+ Code Snippet

function ai_fastzombie_exit(e)
PlayCharacterSound(e,"onDeath")
g_round_state[5] = g_round_state[5] + 1
CollisionOff(e)
end

is there an entity variable I don't know about?

Did you rename the script? Make sure that exit(e) function is named correctly.

That looks like it should work, I added some stuff to the ai_soldier script and it works fine:

+ Code Snippet

function ai_soldier_exit(e)
 if ai_soldier_state[e] ~= "deathanim" then
  PlayCharacterSound(e,"onDeath")
  myPlayerCurrentXP = myPlayerCurrentXP + 50
  myPlayerKills = myPlayerKills + 1
  totalTargets = totalTargets - 1
	PromptDuration("Kill + 50 XP" , 1200)
 end

all I did was duplicate a zombie script and add in the g_round_state[5] = g_round_state[5] + 1, the g_round_state table is just a few variables the 5th one is or will be the kill count in the current round.

this done it thanks everyone now my stand still shall halt and my coding progress shall continue, but is there somewhere I can get all the entity states? like idle etc?
