ok, since im really horrible at making scripts i was wondering if anyone could help me out. i need it something like this...

when a hero dies in battle or reaches 0 hp at anytime then a certain text box shows up.

i can do the rest from there, thats just all i need.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Just write a script, and set it as your On-Death script in the "Special Plotscripts" menu under "General Game Data"

that's all there is to it.

does "On-Death" scripts trigger only when the whole party dies?
I'm confused Neutral

I'd use a "After-Battle" script, and check if any of the hero's HP is/was zero and if it was the first time it reached zero, the textbox would pop up.

well i was trying to make it more like when a certain hero dies in battle (not mattering exactly which one) then after the battle they get removed from the party, as if they'ed died in reality

im not sure if the "on death script" would work with something like that, but i guess ill go and try and mess around with some stuff

You use an after battle script and an "if character is dead" tag for that.

On death script only triggers when the whole party dies, in circumstances when you would normally be returned to the title screen.

Go for an after battle script. (I didn't remember there being an after battle script, only a before battle one : S)

fill in the blanks...

if 1________ then show text box (0) else 2________

1. this is where the 0hp detection would go, but im not sure what to put here

2. i would like this to do nothing, but im not sure what to put here either

1. get hero stat (hero,stat:HP,current stat). If you have the stat named something else, change it to compensate. Check your HSI file for definitions of this sort.
2. Just leave out the else. It won't do anything if it isn't told to do anything.
