I have been trying to set up a scenario where the module ends if an NPC dies. So far I have placed the End Game script:
===========
// End the currently running game, play sEndMovie then return all players to the
// game's main menu.
void EndGame(string sEndMovie);
===========
.... on the On Death for the NPC in question. Yet, nothing happens when that NPC dies. Any help?
NWN2 End Game Script?

Is that the whole script you posted?
Scripts need a void main() function in order to be run from a creature event. Scripts without a void main() function are only used as includes within other scripts.

Yes- that is all I had. Not sure how to place the syntax. Could you show me?
Thanks

What you have there is a function (ie. a script command) that needs to be called from an actual script.
I suggest a read through my tutorial linked in sig below, should explain a bit about how to write your own scripts.
Give it a try writing the code yourself. If you have any problems, post what script you have so far, working or not, and we can help you from there.

By the way, good for you! Getting in there and reading the tutorials and writing you own code is a very good way to learn scripting, which is one of the most enjoyable part of modding, for me. Best of luck!

Agreed. And its a great feeling when you get that first script to work as you wanted!

Guess I failed. Can someone give me a script to put on the OnDeath category? I'd like to end the mod if an NPC dies.

This should work. Give it to the NPC in question on their death script. When they die, the music will stop, the game will face for the PC and then, 4 seconds later, the game will end.
EDIT: Forgot that delays are inconsistent with NPC death. So, this will end suddenly. Not too aesthetically appealing, but it should work.
void main()
{
object oDead=OBJECT_SELF;
MusicBattleStop(GetArea(oDead));
MusicBackgroundStop(GetArea(oDead));
FadeToBlack(GetFirstPC(), 3.0, 40.0);
EndGame("");
}

Thanks. That works. I have been messing with a script to kill the player(s) instead of just forcing an end to the game. The scripts I try all fail.
EG:
void main()
{
effect eEffect;
eEffect = EffectDamage(999, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL, DAMAGE_POWER_NORMAL);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, oPC);
}
Thank you again

That doesn't work because you're not defining what oPC is. Nightmare's scripting tutorials--listed above in his signature--might be a good place to look. That said, here's a script that should work:
void main()
{
object oPC=GetFirstPC();
while(GetIsObjectValid(oPC))
{
effect eEffect;
eEffect = EffectDamage(999, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL, DAMAGE_POWER_NORMAL);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, oPC);
oPC=GetNextPC();
}
}
void main()
{
object oPC=GetFirstPC();
while(GetIsObjectValid(oPC))
{
effect eEffect;
eEffect = EffectDamage(999, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL, DAMAGE_POWER_NORMAL);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, oPC);
oPC=GetNextPC();
}
}
