death and other graphic

Situation:
Player has other than humanoid graphic (i.e. polymorf) and he dies.

A polymorf scipt is finished (backing up settings) but the mobile.graphic is a problem

I tried to set it like the distro script:
mobile.graphic := mobile.trueobjtype;

but in that case player`s screen is in color, not b&w

How to set it right???

I think there are better ways to do it now, but in the chrdeath I rez them quickly, fix up all the timers and graphics and effects, and then kill 'em again

It all happens so fast the player is not aware of all the mess going on.

That way all the mods are nicely removed and the graphic is correct for when they rez a second time.

Crude? You bet.
Does it work? Yes indeed!

I thought about that way...

Any other idea??

Code:

if ( mobile.dead )
    // check mobile.gender to set the correct ghost graphic
    // 402 403, etc.
else
    // restore original graphic
endif

[/code]
