Trying access and act remotely on a mobile's death.

Trying access and act remotely on a mobile's death.

Trying to revamp a submission of mine and running into problems.

using System;
using Server;
using Server.Mobiles;

namespace Server.Items
{
	public class GuardianActivator : Item
	{
		public bool m_Inactive;
		
		[CommandProperty( AccessLevel.GameMaster )]
		public bool Inactive
		{
			get{ return m_Inactive; }
			set{ m_Inactive = value; }
		}

		[Constructable]
		public GuardianActivator() : base( 0x1BC3 )
		{
			Name = "guardian activator";
			Visible = false;
			Movable = false;
			Inactive = false;
		}

		public override bool OnMoveOver( Mobile m )
		{
			Mobile guardianone = new DarkGuardian();
			Mobile guardiantwo = new DarkGuardian();
			
			if( m is PlayerMobile )
			{
				if( m.Alive )
				{
					guardianone.MoveToWorld( new Point3D( 365, 12, -1 ), Map.Malas );
					guardiantwo.MoveToWorld( new Point3D( 357, 18, -1 ), Map.Malas );
					
					return true;
				}
				else
				{
					m.SendMessage( "Your spirit is carried out of the room, magically bound to your corpse." );
					m.Location = new Point3D( 276, 229, -1 ); 
					m.Corpse.Location = new Point3D( 276, 229, -1 );
				}
			}
			return false;
		}
		
		public GuardianActivator( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
		{
		}
		
		public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
		{
			base.Serialize( writer );
			writer.Write( (int) 0 ); 
		}

		public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader ) 
		{
			base.Deserialize( reader );
			int version = reader.ReadInt();
		}
	}
}

Now what I want the script to do, is notice when darkguardianone and darkguardiantwo ( defined in the script, as you'll see ) die, and then act accordingly by changing the Inactive property to true.

I tried to steal a line from the Summoning Altar of the Victoria/Chyloth quest, and ended up with this:

using System;
using Server;
using Server.Mobiles;

namespace Server.Items
{
	public class GuardianActivator : Item
	{
		public bool m_Inactive;
		
		[CommandProperty( AccessLevel.GameMaster )]
		public bool Inactive
		{
			get{ return m_Inactive; }
			set{ m_Inactive = value; }
		}
		
		private DarkGuardian m_Guardian;
		
		public DarkGuardian Guardian
		{
			get{ return m_Guardian; }
			set
			{
				m_Guardian = value;
				CheckGuardian();
			}
		}
		
		public void CheckGuardian()
		{
			if ( !m_Guardian.Alive )
			{
				m_Guardian = null;
				Inactive = true;
			}
			else
			{
				Inactive = false;
			}
		}

		[Constructable]
		public GuardianActivator() : base( 0x1BC3 )
		{
			Name = "guardian activator";
			Visible = false;
			Movable = false;
			Inactive = false;
		}

		public override bool OnMoveOver( Mobile m )
		{
			Mobile guardianone = new DarkGuardian();
			Mobile guardiantwo = new DarkGuardian();
			
			if( m is PlayerMobile )
			{
				if( m.Alive )
				{
					guardianone.MoveToWorld( new Point3D( 365, 12, -1 ), Map.Malas );
					guardiantwo.MoveToWorld( new Point3D( 357, 18, -1 ), Map.Malas );
					
					return true;
				}
				else
				{
					m.SendMessage( "Your spirit is carried out of the room, magically bound to your corpse." );
					m.Location = new Point3D( 276, 229, -1 ); 
					m.Corpse.Location = new Point3D( 276, 229, -1 );
				}
			}
			return false;
		}
		
		public GuardianActivator( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
		{
		}
		
		public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
		{
			base.Serialize( writer );
			writer.Write( (int) 0 ); 
			
			writer.Write( (Mobile) m_Guardian );
		}

		public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader ) 
		{
			base.Deserialize( reader );
			int version = reader.ReadInt();
			
			m_Guardian = reader.ReadMobile() as DarkGuardian;

			CheckGuardian();
		}
	}
}

But . . . It didn't do much of anything in the way of changing the Inactive property.

Is there something I'm missing, or am I just going about this completely improperly?

Cheers,
Waverian.
