density=1
sleep(50)
density=0

?

Or if it's in an attack proc, make it remember the attacker and use it in an Enter() proc.

         Death(src,mob/Attacker)
            Attacker << "You slay [src]"
            var/obj/key/A = new /obj/key(src.x,src.y,src.z)
            A.owner = "Attacker.key"
            A.timep = 1
            sleep(50)
            A.owner = ""
            A.timep = 0

      verb
         PickUp()
            if(src.owner == usr.key)
               usr << "You picked up the key"
            else 
               if(timep)
                 usr << "Sorry this is [src.owner]'s key"
               else
                 usr << "You picked up the key"


This is completly untested..and there is a chance it might not work. In theory it should...but you might need to switch some vars around.

N1ghtW1ng, you made a small mistake..

A.Owner = "Attacker.key"

should be..

A.Owner = "[Attacker.key]"


:P

meh, wasn't paying attention and I didn't run it through the compiler, i'm not sure if that is the only error though.

uh sorry to bring this back from the past but i was wondering my char has to be on top of the object o nthe ground to pick it up so, IF i could make the obj denisty 1 for the person its not ment for and density 0 for the person who killed the monster how would i do that

Density is either one value or it's another. If you want something selective based on who might be trying to pick it up, just put the necessary checking into your Get() verb.
