How about a special that reincarnate dead monsters, as if would exists an archvile near?

thing_reincarnate(tid)

Sure, but i'd prefer thing_raise cause I have a hard time spelling reincarnate

So...does that means that it will resurrect any monster the archvile resurrects...or will it resurrect any monster?

Presumably it activates the monster's raise state - so it would need to have one. IE only monsters that the Archie ressurects. However, it's easy enough to create your own decorate versions of monsters that do not normally have a raise state and give them one. I did it recently for the Heretic monsters.

Well done, thanks

Now I think about starting with dead monsters and use this special. I can make it is killing the monsters with thing_destroy, but it will count one kill and I would see the monster dying. Is there another way?

The easiest way to make sure you can't see the monster die is to Thing_Destroy it in a isolated sector then teleport the dead body in and Thing_raise it.

Yes, I know. But i would need to wait the monster die to teleport him, and thing_destroy will count 1 kill.

Could you not get round this with making a decorate enemy that looks dead until you activate it or something?
