How can i make it so you can only kill a monster once?

[Waffle]

I want to make a monster you can only kill once, then you get a message like "You have no reason to kill ."

is this possible without scripting?

maybe no message… but are you able to make it so a monster can only be killed once?

Without scripting?
Not possible.

With scripting?
VERY easy, maybe 4 lines of code, max.

This, I would love to see.

only way I can think of is creating two identical maps where one is a friendly npc and one isn't.

In the sub, OnNpcDeath (or whatever it's called)
```
If NPCNum = 5 Then
  Call PutVar("NpcOnlyOnce.ini", NPCNum & "", "Attacked", "1")
End If
```
In the sub OnAttack, under "Target = GetPlayerTargetNpc(Index)", put:
```
If GetMapNpcNumber(GetPlayerMap(Index), Target) = 5 Then
  If GetVar("NpcOnlyOnce.ini", NPCNum & "", "Attacked") <> "" Then
      Call PlayerMsg(Index, "You have no reason to kill " & Trim(GetNpcName(5)), RED)
  End If
End If
```

Haven't tested this, but it will probably work.
NOTE: Change "5" to the NPC's number you only want to kill once.
