It is an infinite demo... To demonstrate; but the second hook can be removed or commented out.

*But it's neat to kill off the zarchtons in the editor with 'K', and they just keep crawling out of the pond (or floor).

The smaller script minmay gave is definitely better for a straight 1-to-1 scenario: monster dies, monster spawns. Sorry if I confused you, I tend to like to make things a bit more adventurous, so to speak. Cheers!

Yes.

Code: Select all

--script name: hook_script
spawn('zarchton', 1, 15,15,0,0).monster:addConnector("onDie", "hook_script", "deathSpawn")

function deathSpawn(monster)
	local c = spawn( "zarchton_ambush", monster.go.level,
				monster.go.x, monster.go.y,
				monster.go.facing, monster.go.elevation).monster
				c:setLevel(2)
				c:setMaxHealth(228)
				c:addConnector("onDie", "hook_script", "deathSpawn")
end
