Is there a way to make an enemy drop an item (such as a key) when it is killed?

I did.

The only post that came up is from February, 2005. I figured there might have been an update or two since then

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=49085&b=23

Now, is there anyone more helpful than Gamz on this forum?

Yes, but I haven't tried it yet.

The character should activateifused=x, thus activating the key before he is destroyed.
(you have to edit the characters FPE to assign an IFUSED to it)

The IFUSED item (in this case a key) could then settargetname=x to name the character as the tartget.
Then it would use the movetotarget action to appear where the character is standing as he dies.

You need to have a delay on the calling of the destroy script for the character as to give the key time to get there before the character is destroyed. Otherwise the key would get moved to the characters spawn location rather than where he is dying.

EDIT

Here is another thread about charcters dropping items when they die.

And Another thread about dropping keys.
This one seems to have a real easy solution, but again, I have not tried any of these myself.

I have looked for a way to make this happen and havent found it yet. I may require scripting. For objects you could use the destroyandactivate.fpi and set the "If Used" to the name of the object you want dropped. Enemies dont have a "If Used" option so I havent been able to make it work with them. I havent tried editing the FPE file in that manner yet.

If you find a way could you post it here?

Thanks.
