[FE8] Trigger event upon enemy death

Questions
#1

Hey y’all, decrepit old FE fan here who is entirely new to hacking. Please bear with me.

I’m using FEBuilder and I’m pretty much learning as I go. Most things are intuitive enough so that I can teach myself, even in regards to some eventing. I do have a specific issue however. What I’m trying to accomplish is making an event (in this case simple dialogue) trigger upon the death of an enemy. I’ve tried to use CHECK_EXISTS as well as CHECK_ALIVE. Am I correct in assuming that these only apply to player units? Should it be written as an always or turn condition? I have a hard time grasping how flags work in general so something may be wonky there. Perhaps I could check whether his battle quote has triggered for the event to load, but I have no idea how I would go about that.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

The easiest way is to set an always event to trigger based on a flag in his death quote (for an example of this, see how maps with a defeat boss condition work).

That easy huh? Now I feel a bit stupid for trying to make an eloquent command when all I really needed was a simple text box. Thanks a lot!
