Anyone need help?

Perhaps you could cause the monster to ignore the player and then to be assigned to new path nodes leading out the way it came, looking like the monster was scared and ran away.

Or you could just add an entity collide callback ("AddEntityCollideCallback("Monster", "ScriptArea_1", "Function", true, 1);") to just set the monster to smoke, causing there to be no repeatablitity to setting the monster to smoke. Or you could set true, to false so it can be called multiple times just in case. I don't know...
