Script to kill an actor on activate. : V

» Fri Feb 22, 2013 3:57 am

Say, for example, I want to activate an activator to kill an actor on activate, how can I do this? I did google searches for kill actor scripts, and the closest script I think I've found is this, at first I thought it would work with the added bonus of a text message in the script but not even that went off. Although I don't know if this script even does what I want it to. I've tried the script, but when nothing happens when I activate the activator. (Reason being, as an optional challenge I made an enemy character who is nearly impossible to kill for more immersion/an optional challenge, and I need an activator to kill this character with for weaker characters or non combat specialized characters, and since it all takes place in a nightmare, it would make sense to run into such an overpowered enemy).

I've looked up kill scripts but most kill scripts I've seen, seem to involve npcs killing npcs, which is not what I am aiming for. The script which for all I know doesn't have the functions I want, is as follows. I even clicked on the actor I wanted the script to kill with reference, and it still does nothing.
