Hey, guys.
I’m still working on my remastered version of the Blackguard series, and while most of it is busywork that only requires time, the following scripts are beyond my ken. The first one used to work fine, but doesn’t anymore, so I think it clashes with NWN EE in some way. The second and third ones, however, I’ve never seen working, even in the old days (in fact, I only found out about them because I went through every script in each module). These are the biggest remaining obstacles I can think of, so hopefully I can quit bothering you guys after this 
For context, the first script is meant to execute during a battle against three planetars. Whenever one of them dies, one of the remaining two would immediately try to resurrect his fallen comrade. Right now, they don’t do that, even if I kill one and then just draw out the fight. The full script is:

The second and third scripts are also meant to happen during combat, specifically with the eponymous hero (well, protagonist) and Valshera against two Solars. As I mentioned above, I have never seen it actually happen. As best I can understand, the Solars are meant to resurrect each other (which also isn’t happening at the moment), so Valshera comments on it, summons her familiar to block their spells, a bit of dialog ensues, and then the Solars lose the ability to resurrect each other.
The first of these two scripts, chronoglogically (judging by Valshera’s dialog) is this one:
//::///////////////////////////////////////////////

I know this is a big ask, but I am way out of my depth here, and this is pretty much the final hurdle. I’d hate to release Blackguard - Remastered with these issues unresolved, so I beseech you - please, lend me your (scripting) power.
And of course, thanks in advance.
