script to execute player death (preventing perma-death)

Hi, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to either write this, or someone more familiar with what would need to be written.
OPCODE 295 does not protect party members from permadeath, at least not on LoB difficulty.
It seems the only reliable way to do it is to either set player2-6 as "player1" in addition to the protagonist cannot die mod... Or to use this OPCODE:
#208 (0xD0) HP: Minimum Limit V
Parameter #1: Minimum Value
Parameter #2: Irrelevant
Description:
The targeted creature(s) HP value will not drop below the value specified by the 'Minimum Value' field.
This effect sets stat #83 (MINHITPOINTS) to param #1.
I think if the MINHP is set to 1, in addition with OPCODE 13:
If effect #4 is chosen (4 Normal death
Sets state STATE_DEAD (0x00000800)
Drops inventory)
... Then that combined with some sort of trigger to happen when a players 2-6 reach 1 hp would thereby prevent every death OPCODE aside from 512, and 16 from perma-killing the party member while still retaining the ability to die normally.
Obviously the resurrection spells would have to be modified so they resurrect the target with 2 HP instead of 1.
In addition to maybe using Spell Revisions version of FtS with a permastun rather than turning a target to stone.
Disintegration could be changed to just do a lot of damage instead.
I think the script would maybe be placed in the BALDUR.bcs area in NI?
With something along the lines of...
IF player2 MINHP=1
THEN OPCODE13 #4
I tried this through EEKeeper, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make an effect trigger combing two of them.
