BTW! It does show "Spawned the Bitch" in the log when the pawn has entered the state of dying...  PlayDying is a predefined function in the engine...

Why exactly are you spawning it and setting it's role to role none? And there's no not null check..

Also, use Died instead of PlayDying and call super.

I don't recommend setting the fly to have no remote role.

Alright, I'll give that a shot... btw... answering towards the net role... I chose none unaware as to what any of the net roles were.  I tried each one previously and had literally no change in effect...

As for pcube's case statement, idk if it was a joke... but I was originally trying to spawn a Fly which already has a set Collision and it also was intended to spawn after the pawn is killed.  IDK, if maybe the script doesn't work because two pawns cannot collide with either other.  Or if maybe its some other issue, I think I could use part of Pcube's case statement for the issue.  But, figuring out how to plug it in might be a little harder...

Well, I'll give it a shot dude... thanks.  I'm certainly a noob scripter, whether or not I can read it... I certainly still can't write it.  But it is hard to know what and how things can be done without reference other than newer scripting languages...

--Update--

It didn't work, however I did like some of the stuff involved...

AHH! YES

Thanks dude, totally worked out... and I see why you used null and what not.  I had originally also done something like... if(health <= 0)... do...
But that didn't work out... however thanks man.  Everything in this script has been successful 8)

Checking a pawn's health is generally a bad idea. They could be dead, yet have health - that often happens with regeneration mods, for example. Also, the Destroyed() function sends an event on death - that means you don't have to monitor the pawn constantly, which means saved resources and possibly network bandwidth.

God damnit guys.

btw evo sorry to hear that. Good luck on your projects. Keep us posted.

Most thanks Pcube! I will do that of course, atm... I turned the Super Fly into a fly that shoots laser beams from its eyes.  I'm finishing up a UV Map for a gun model I made, which the gun will be just like a flak cannon... but will fire multiple frag shells instead of flaks.  The gun will be called the HECannon which shoots multiple highly explosive rounds like a mix of the CAR Rifle and the Flak Cannon.  The other gun shoots asmd cores faster if you left tap and right tap your mouse buttons simultaneously one after another.  Though if you only left or right fire repeatedly, it will take longer.  There will be another gun that does the same thing but shoots the primary fire of the ASMD.  Otherwise, I don't know all of what I will be working on.  I do have an Amplifier that regenerates on deactivation... multiple Chem Light items that you can attach to your self or throw.  Which is useful for exposing rooms that have already been entered or breached.  Or could for example be used for personal use, such as teams or recognition of players.  I don't know what else I'll be doing, but I want to really make this project something people can play offline and online.  I may be making my own pathnodes for AI to follow offline and online, so players can have helpers.

Lots of ideas, lots of studying.  By the end of this project, which could take a year... but I would love to have control over AI's actions... such as maybe giving a dialog box to make AI activate specific items... or tell them to do different things.  idk if that is all possible, considering most of the AI Pathing is in the core and engine.
