EVENT_DEATH will trigger as the mob dies, so you will not be able to prevent it from dying and leaving a corpse. However, why don't you make it do all this at a 0% health event? Granted if your NPC does not have a lot of hit points, there is a possibility of him still dying upon final blow from 1% to death... Just an option.

ok i have no problem with doing that but how do i find out who hit him last at that point

You can always run a test to see if it picks up the person that damages him into the HP event.

Try having setting up a few health events and have the NPC say $name in health events when damaging with 2 or 3 characters to test it out.

its calling out the npcs name at the hp events. so im guessing its not triggered by the player

If you want to delete the corpse after it dies, you should check out this quest I posted here:

You will still need a way to get the class that got the kill, but one you do, you can replace the IsEmpty check in my script to check for the class instead. Might be useful.

So, are you trying to ensure that a certain class is soloing this NPC, or the only thing that matters is if the right class gets the killing blow? If you are trying to make sure that the right class is the only one killing it, you could probably just have it check everyone on the hate list and check their class and if they aren't the right one it depops.
