default henchmen journel death HELP
« on: March 07, 2012, 11:47:16 am »


                hi,
the default on death script fires a default henchmen journal entry number 99 when a henchman dies. in my mod the dead henchmen simply teleports to the default nw death temple waypoint.
currently i have no journal entry in henchman journals so when a henchman dies your journal updates with an error message journal entry.


what is the best way to correct this? or will the below suggestion work to fix the error journal entry?

edit copy the death script for all possible henchman adjusting the journal entry number to one instead of 99 and then make a entry number 1 that says "a non plot henchman has died that has no effect on me or the game. yet i may bump into them in the after life."

thx,
nb

               The easiest way?

Don't even bother editing the death script at all and make a journal entry that references #99. Just make sure that whatever journal tag is referenced in the script, is the same journal tag you use for that entry.

FP!

               OK thanks,

After thinking a bit more on this one...if the npc Hench is not plot related couldn't I just remove the default henchman death script and replace it with a standard npc death script?  That way when the Hench dies nothing more will happen and no journal will be created? Is that right?

Or do I need to make an on death script that removes the npc as a Hench on its death so no journal is created at all?
Thx,
