I'm trying to setup a script that on the death of a draugr checks whether another draugr is alive and ressurects the first if that's the case. This is part of the script:

Event Ondeath(Actor akKiller)	Utility.Wait(5)		if boss.IsDead() == 0		reanimateSpell.Cast(Self, Self)	EndifEndEvent

The first draugr is set as dead to begin with and the strange thing is that it ressurects as soon as I enter the area it's in but doesn't when I kill it myself. Any ideas what's up?

Event Ondying(Actor akKiller)	Utility.Wait(5)		if boss.IsDead() == false		reanimateSpell.Cast(Self, Self)	EndifEndEvent

I made some changes and now it doesn't ressurect as soon as I enter the area but when I kill it it ressurects regardless of whether the 'boss' draugr is dead or not.

Also, the general setup of everything is the same as in the Lokir's Tomb tutorial, with a 'boss' draugr that jumps out of a tomb and two other draugrs nearby that ressurect when that happens.

Is the boss property set up correctly, ie pointing to the right draugr

Yes it is.

It seems like it takes quite a bit of time before the game registers that the boss draugr is dead. Around 5-10 seconds maybe. Is this usual?

Well, you do have a 'wait' command in the script for 5 seconds.

have you tried checking the bosses health instead of using isdead()

Yes, but this script only runs on the death of the other draugrs. It goes like: draugr dies -> wait 5 sec -> check if boss draugr == dead. And even if I kill the boss draugr a couple of seconds before I kill the other draugrs they still ressurect.

Does GetActorValue("health") give the current health or the full health of the actor?
