Attaching a script activator to a spawned 'thing'

I've been having a bit of trouble with this... not even sure if it's a possibility or not. I need a monster to spawn in after a trigger activates it in ACS. But I need that monster to have ANOTHER ACS script attached to it so when it dies it triggers another event. I have no problem doing this with normal monsters but ones spawned in through MAPSPOTS seem to be a different thing entirely. Is it possible? Any advice?

Most, if not all, spawn functions in ACS allow you to give a TID to the spawned thing. With the TID in hand, you can then call SetThingSpecial to assign the action special you want to the spawned thing.
