Working on mining

[emplay]

Ok im working on mining and for my vein of whatever im mining i have this
```
Case 50
  Dim Weapon
  If GetPlayerWeaponSlot(index) > 0 Then
      Weapon = GetPlayerInvItemNum(index, GetPlayerWeaponSlot(index))
  Else
      Weapon = 0
  End If

  If Weapon = 34 Then
      Call PlayerMsg(Index, "You've mined some ore!", WHITE)
      Call GiveItem(Index, 12, 1)
  Else
      Call PlayerMsg(Index, "You need a higher lvl pickaxe!", WHITE)
  End If
```
This works when i apply it to a scripted npc.

But now i want to make the npc dissapear after being mined then respawn about 20 seconds later.

So I tried the little box at the top of the Npc editor and changed the respawn number to 20 (seconds).

But as all thing go. Something didn't work I can mine the ore and that works but the vein dosent dissapear.

Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks

Well, you would have to tell the NPC to disappear, as it won't do it on it's own. As for the function that does that, I'll take a look and see what I can find. ^^

Call OnNPCDeath(index, NPCNUM)
Change the NPCNUM to whatever npc number the thing is
U probably know what to do with it…

Actually, OnNPCDeath doesn't kill an NPC, it is called when one _is_ killed, though.
We're trying to find a way to kill a Scripted NPC by script. Like a way to tell the NPC to self-terminate. XD

[Diskmaster]

No, I am pretty sure that It kills an NPC, if u just use Damage NPC, it won't ever kill it, test it out, it will kill it! I use this in my game If GetNPCHp(index)<1 Then
Call OnNPCDeath(Index, Map, NPCNum, NPCIndex)
Not exactly functional, but I know this script is it
Replace it with the map the NPC is on, the Number the NPC is on the map (1-15) and then NPC index with what the NPC number is!

I'm backing diskmaster on this one. It should work the same as call ondeath. For it to trigger this sub, the npc has to die, so the sub kills it.

Cool! I didn't know it did that. ^^

My bad!
