How to make the player die when a monster dies

[Manapro]

so I'm making a map where when a monster dies, the player also dies from let's say, a presumed heart attack, I only just want the player's health to reach 0;


I tried to do that with the following code:

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 OPEN
{
    Thing_Damage(20,5,0);
}

it doesn't really do anything, but i set the player's tag as 20, and added the placeholder value of 5 in terms of damage, the 0 was a thing i forgot to remove from the," uh
"zdoom wiki" cool coding skills section of my brain.

Thanks in advance for any comment!

I think this could work, if you set this as actor's special(80) in the editor. 

 

script 1 (void)
{

    SetActivatorToTarget(0);
    SetActorProperty(0, APROP_Health, 0);
}

 

Edit: just realized this'll only work if player kills the monster. If the monster can die by some other means, you probably need to assign the player a TID.

script 1 ENTER
{

    Thing_ChangeTID(0, somenumber);

}

 

script 2 (void)
{
    SetActorProperty(somenumber, APROP_Health, 0);
}
