Hello Everyone,
I am very new at FPS Creator got it 5 days ago...but I understand how to do just about everything except. How do I make an enmey die as soon as the game starts so I can have the player find the dead body. One of the sample games has it so I know it can be done.
I've tried 2 things putting there health to 0 (all it dose is make them invincible) and make their "Main" AI setting be one of the destroy settings...all it did was mess them up. Please help!

I had trouble doing this too, but I found a solution.

Make your character, change theses settings,
Change his name to something you can remember like "bob"
Change his destroy script to destroy/leavecorpse.fpi
Make his "spawn life" 1 instead of 0 (this says how long it the entity lives)
Make "spawn at start" no
Make "spawn after delay" yes

Now, make a trigger zone where the player starts and do these things,

Change the main script to plrinzoneactivateused.fpi
And change the if used box to the name of the character

Now try it, I think it should work.

Set an enemy a little off the ground using the page up and page down keys. Set HurtFall or the setting like that in the options to something outrageous like 1012839. Set the health of the enemy to 2. Set the destroy script to destroy/leavecorpse.fpi
That should work.
Good luck

EDIT: puppy of kosh, Lol, we posted at the same time.

...you could just set this as his main script:

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script==================================================================

;by Xplosys

;Header

desc          = Enemy Dead On Sight

;This is a script to make enemies die as soon as they see player. It can be reconfigured to work ;with a timer, a zone, player proximity, whatever you want.

;If you want the enemy to die right away when the game starts, remove plrcanbeseen from line 1:

;:state=0:animate=16,state=1

;Make sure the destroy script is "leavecorpse.fpi", if you want the body to remain.
;Animation "16" is fall forward. Change it to whatever you want.

;Triggers

:state=0,plrcanbeseen:animate=16,state=1
:state=1:runfpidefault=2

;End of Script===================================================================================

It's Xplosys', and it works very well. I've used it alot.

Removing plrcanbeseen from the first line will make the entity die instantly.
