I think a ragdoll would cost too much performance as i'm working with many NPCs. That's why i only have them play simple death animations.

I'm looking for what you called the "natural thinking process that contains the wait for death animation completion stuff". I need to find exactly that function, but i'm having trouble with it ;) Thanks for the hint though.
