I'm looking to get the id of the object/NPC that I killed. I know I can do this with an onevent script attached to the killed actor's object but I don't want to script every animal in the game.
Say I kill a deer. I'd like to be able to use that deer in a script attached to my Player's script.

Thanks!

There's an OnDeath StoryManager Event (or OnKill ... I can't remember!) ... anyway, trap that using the Story Manager System, then get SM to start a Quest to do scripting or whatever ....

You could, instead, do it with spells ... applying a OnDeath Script to any NPC in the area of the PC ... http://www.creationkit.com/Dynamically_Attaching_Scripts
