	Howdy, wondering if someone has a moment to explain how the custom group ondeath script is used. I guess what i dont understand is how to name the grp, i see it uses getgroupname, but how do i define what the group is? i intend to use the script on a group of mobs made up of 1 boss kobold and 3 subordinate kobolds, i'd like to force a cutscene/conversation if the 3 subordinates r killed or if the boss is killed, force a seperate cutscene showing the remaining kobolds flee. if anyone has time to reply, i'd appreciate it. thanks

	You could use something like this for the grouping and conversation on death for the subordinate kobolds Code: #include "ginc_group" void main() { AddNearestWithTagToGroup("GroupName", "koboldtag"); GroupOnDeathBeginConversation("GroupName", "TalkerTag", "convo"); } View Post/Code in separate window For the boss you could write a script that triggers a conversation or just a loop to make the remaining kobolds flee and place the name of the script as a DeathScript string variable on the boss. The default ondeath script checks for the DeathScript variable and executes it. In this case if you want a conversation on death you should include ginc_cutscene and use the makeconversible function in case the PC speaker is dead/dying etc. I don't know what would happen if they all died at the same time though.

	The first meeting with Neeshka makes use of groups in this way. The functions you'll need are are in ginc_group. Here is a bit of script that I have used for having a few halfling NPC's put into a group and then a script is started once they are dead. NWScript: string sGroupName = "HalflingBrothers"; object oNHalfling; int i; ResetGroup(sGroupName); for (i = 1; i<=3; i++) { object oNHalfling = GetObjectByTag("NHalfling" + IntToString(i)); GroupAddMember(sGroupName, oNHalfling); ChangeToStandardFaction(oNHalfling, STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE); StandardAttack(oNHalfling, GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_PLAYER_CHAR,PLAYER_CHAR_IS_PC)); } GroupOnDeathExecuteCustomScript(sGroupName, "0160_a_cs_halfling_postfight"); View Post/Code in separate window Regards
