Zdoom script help: How do I setup ACS_ExecuteAlways on a monster spawned from a script

[Barbeerian]

Hello, I'm having a problem setting up an encounter with scripts. Here's what I'm trying to do:

 

-The player flips a switch in the level which opens a locked door and spawns monsters in the previously locked part of the room.

Note: These spawns need to happen via script because you can access part of the room earlier, so the first set of monsters is setup in the editor. The second set of monsters needs to be spawned in after the door is unlocked.

 

script 3 (void)
{
    Door_Raise(7, 32, 0, 0);
    Thing_SpawnFacing(100, 3, 1, 254);
    Thing_SpawnFacing(101, 5, 1, 255);
    Thing_SpawnFacing(102, 5, 1, 255);

    if (GameSkill() >= 1)
    {
        Thing_SpawnFacing(103, 1, 1, 255);
        Thing_SpawnFacing(104, 1, 1, 255);
    }

    if (GameSkill() >= 2)
    {
        Thing_SpawnFacing(106, 28, 1, 255);
    }

    if (GameSkill() >= 3)
    {
        Thing_SpawnFacing(105, 20, 1, 255);
    }

    delay(1);
    //Set all the spawned monsters to Ambush
    SetActorProperty(255, APROP_Ambush, 1);
    SetActorProperty(254, APROP_Ambush, 1);
    //Set just the Baron to execute script 5 when it dies
    SetActorProperty(254, ACS_ExecuteAlways, 5);
}

 

-Once the player kills the Baron (who is part of the group of monsters spawned) another door unlocks.

 

script 5 (void)
{
    //open door when the baron dies
    //if (ThingCount(T_NONE, 254) == 0)
    //{
    //}
    Door_Raise(6, 32, 0, 0);
}

 

I can't figure out how to setup ACS_ExecuteAlways on a monster I spawn in via script though, so my second door opening script never gets executed when the Baron dies. I know the last line of Script 3 is wrong, ACS_ExecuteAlways isn't an actor property but I can't figure out which command I need to use to set an actors death special to call a script.
