Code:
    proc/deathcheck()
        if(src.health <= 0)
            if(src.client)
                src <<"[src] killed you!"
                src.loc = locate(172,421,1)
                src.health = src.maxhealth
            if(src.monstername == "Infil Sniper")
                var/Rand = rand(1,5)

                if(Rand==5)
                    new/obj/Items/Health_Pack(src.loc)
                    del(src)

                if(Rand==3)
                    new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
                    del(src)

                if(Rand==1)
                    new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
                    del(src)
                else
                    del(src)


Problem description:
They dont die, no warnings or anything.. no errors.... But they somtimes die (but only when they drop an item) such as a health pack.. I did try making a rand 2,4,5 for dropping and item and just del(src) and it still wont work.. any suggestions?

Fix'd.
    proc/deathcheck()
        if(src.health <= 0)
            if(src.client)
                src <<"[src] killed you!"
                src.loc = locate(172,421,1)
                src.health = src.maxhealth
            if(src.monstername == "Infil Sniper")
                var/Rand = rand(1,5)
                if(Rand==5) new/obj/Items/Health_Pack(src.loc)
                if(Rand==3) new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
                if(Rand==1) new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
                del(src)

Yeah thanks, one thing though... wouldnt it be...

if(Rand==5) new/obj/Items/Health_Pack(src.loc)
del(src)
if(Rand==3) new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
del(src)
if(Rand==1) new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
del(src)


or...


if(Rand==5) new/obj/Items/Health_Pack(src.loc)
if(Rand==3) new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
if(Rand==1) new/obj/Items/Small_Health_Pack(src.loc)
del(src)

Wait, it works now but it takes them like 10 seconds or somthing to relize that they are dead, lol

Figured out the problem, the enemy has to shoot u after it got less than 0 health.... I need to find a way to fix that now...
Any ideas? (because I dont know how the shot will always hit you)

Make no sleep in the shot, make the enemy maybe do a couple shots of the no sleep shot and make sure it takes no dmg... show me your shooting code and I could show what i mean ;D

Unless all deaths are suicides, you'd best change that.

Remember, in a deathcheck() proc if you need to know the killer, you have to pass it as an argument to the proc.

mob
  proc/deathcheck(mob/killer)
    if(!(health<=0)||!ismob(killer)||!killer) return
    src<<"[killer] killed you!"
    loc=locate(172,421,1)
    health=maxhealth
    if(istype(killer,/mob/enemies))
      if(prob(60))
        var/mob/enemies/enemy=killer
        var/item=pick(enemy.item_drops)
        new item(loc)

Might be a better way to do it. item_drops is of course optional, but if I were you I'd set a list variable for /mob/enemies and set the items the enemies can drop under their subtypes of /mob/enemies.
