How would script an enemy to drop an item (i.e. a key) when they die? If I am going to make an fps, I need to be able to hide keys inside enemies. I can make the object not spawn when the game loads. That is simple. What I need is for the enemy to "carry" the key until you kill them. The entity would then drop the key wherever they are killed. This way the key is not simply in the level waiting to be found. Does anyone know how I would do this?

You know your code sucks when it does what you want before you know what you want.

Select your enemy to have the key as his "weapon" when he start.

( if you understand )

Look at your post again and find the word 'weapon'

How exactly do I do that as keys are not treated as weapons? Also, something I clearly should have mentioned is that I want the guy to have a weapon in addition to the key. In other words, he is a guard and has the only key to the door you need to pass through. As a guard, he is going to be armed. He paces a patrol path and will shoot you on sight. You must kill him before he will relinquish the key.

I suppose you could try spawn the key inside the npc?

Nah.

You could try my idea for opening a door when more than one enemy is killed. Set the count to one. When the character is killed, have the box activate a key rather than the door. You would have to ensure the key is near the enemy and neither can end up too far from the other. How about the door opens to reveal the key inside a small room?
