Detecting entity health & armour using scripting - How?

Hi!
I basically got twelve stormtroopers to run all the way to the middle of the map shooting at the player which is what I wanted!
But, what I want to do is detect when the twelve stormtroopers are dead so I can spawn twelve more!
How do I do this?

Thanks for your time and help and please reply as soon as possible...

You can't determine that from scripting. you have to link the first entity to the second entity, so that the first has "target" "stormie" and the second has "NPC_targetname" "stormie". It might be "NPC_target" stormie" and "targetname" "stormie (the opposite), I can't remember.

Oh right, so when the first stormtrooper dies, he executes his target which is the other stormtrooper, spawning him in the position I designated in the editor itself!
Right, thanks a lot! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
