  Assuming the corpse is a placeable (not a dead creature), you can use SetDescription.
  
  You can then GetDescription in the OnUsed event etc to check that the player name matches before opening the inventory. If not, tell the player "this is not your corpse" and close the inventory (from memory, clearing player actions or starting a conversation will do that, or you could lock the corpse, unlocking only for the owner).

  I have some of it working, i managed to change the name of the object placeable to match player name, and made it so only the object owner can loot with a message sent... having trouble with closing the inventory though, ClearAllActions doesn't seem to work, i'll try starting a conversation.
  
  Thanks

  conversation works.
  
  now i am trying to do something else though... after 3 minutes i'd like to make the corpse lootable by everyone, not just the player it's linked to.
  
  to link the player name to the object i use this -
  
  string sPlayerName=GetPCPlayerName(oRespawner);
  SetLocalString(oCorpse, "player_name", sPlayerName);
  
  then i delete the string in the same OnPlayerRespawn script -
  
  DelayCommand(180.0,DeleteLocalString(oCorpse, "player_name"));
  
  this is what i have in the OnUsed event for the corpse object -
  
  void main()
  {
  object oPC=GetLastUsedBy();
  string sPlayerName=GetPCPlayerName(oPC);
  if(GetLocalString(OBJECT_SELF, "player_name") != sPlayerName)
  {
  //DelayCommand(1.0, FloatingTextStringOnCreature("This corpse does not belong to you.", oPC, FALSE));
  AssignCommand(oPC, ClearAllActions(TRUE));
  ActionStartConversation(oPC);
  return;
  }
  }
  
  so... how do i make the object lootable by everyone after 3 minutes, deleting the string doesn't work. After 3 minutes the conversation starts for the player who is linked to the object, and everyone else.
  
  Thank ya!

  I would try adding a local int on the corpse called expired setting it to 0, then have a small heatbeat script that sets it to 1 after allotted time.
  Then you can add
  
  int iExpired = GetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF,"expired");
  if (iExpired >0) // make lootable if not check playername and fire convo
  
  may be a better way of doing this, but thats my 10c
