OnBeforeDeath and OnDeath Method Help...

Okay so I released a Militia system last night and as I stated in my post, I am continually updating it for various reasons; anyway I found a dupe bug in it and I've been working for 8 hours trying various code, researching both the OnBeforeDeath and OnDeath methods and nothing seems to work as a fix.

The problem I am having is when the mobile dies, it's bonded, so I have 2 instances of his backpack. One instance is on the corpse on the ground and the other instance is his grayed-out dead bonded body. It doesn't matter whether or not I ressurect him makes no difference... there will always be 2 packs and that the player owner can open.

Either by clicking once on the grayed-out dead bonded body and using the mobiles context menu to open its paperdoll and then select Open Backpack... or by double-clicking the corpse. This was mean to be like that and I'd rather not change it by deleting the mobiles pack.

Rather all I want to do is delete the contents of the corpse's pack while leaving the grayed-out dead bonded body's pack untouched. Right now when this mobile dies all of his possessions that were in his pack remain there on the grayed-out dead bonded body. However if there was gold on him when he dies, an additional instance of the gold amount originally in his pack on death now appear in game; one instance that is on his grayed-out dead bonded body (which is meant to be) and one instance in the corpse backpack which I'm trying to delete unsuccessfully.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Code: 
public virtual bool OnDeath(Container c)
{
	//Container c = this.Backpack;

         if (this.Backpack != null)
         {
                Item gold = c.FindItemByType(typeof(Gold));
                    if (gold != null)
                    gold.Consume();
          }
            //if (Backpack != null && item is Gold)
            base.OnDeath(c);
 }

Okay so this is the closest I've gotten tonight. I really need to get some sleep but here's the update so far:

The code below will delete the gold, however even with the IsBonded=true the militia_archery.cs mobile will not show up as a
    • grayed-out dead bonded body - like all bonded pets do after death unless I use staff command to get him.
That said, I'm not sure what to do. I fix one problem - the gold - and then now the pet disappears - It Doesn't Delete - I know this because my follower count still reads as 2... so when I use the command to get pets, the mobile reappears; but I can only find him using that command. Otherwise I don't know where he runs off too or if he's turning invisible.

I'm trying to accomplish 2 things... the gold deletion as stated above, and now making the grayed-out dead bonded body appear so the player can ressurect it. Anyway now I really must get sleep lol. Have a great night.


Code: 
public override void OnDeath(Container c)
{
      if (this.Backpack != null && this.Backpack.ConsumeTotal(typeof(Gold), 60))
      {
             this.Say("You shall never get my treasure!");           
       }
            IsBonded = true;
}
 
The problem with the gold is from your BaseHire_Militia

The code below counts the amount of gold on the mobile before it dies, then creates a new instance of gold on the corpse. It doesn't move the gold.

Code: 
public override bool OnBeforeDeath()
        {
            // Stop the pay timer if its running
            if (m_PayTimer != null)
                m_PayTimer.Stop();

            m_PayTimer = null;

            // Get all of the gold on the hireling and add up the total amount
            if (this.Backpack != null)
            {
                Item[] AllGold = this.Backpack.FindItemsByType(typeof(Gold), true);
                if (AllGold != null)
                {
                    foreach (Gold g in AllGold)
                        this.m_GoldOnDeath += g.Amount;
                }
            }

            return base.OnBeforeDeath();
        }

        public override void OnDeath(Container c)
        {
            if (this.m_GoldOnDeath > 0)
                c.DropItem(new Gold(this.m_GoldOnDeath));

            base.OnDeath(c);
        }
 
Both are now fixed... Thank you zerodowned for finding the resolution this issue :)

And... thank you frankieowns for offering your help as well. I was wracking my brain on the mobile scripts so much that I didn't think to look inside the BaseHire_Militia inside the BaseMilitia_Core.cs
