Player death event - User01 - 04-01-2018
Is there a way to run an event when the player dies? All I could find is setting up death hints.

Use Checkpoints, and define what you would like to occur as an event in the CheckPoint callback. You can also make a DeathHint in your lang file which doesn't have any associated text, so that when you die, you'll momentarily see a black screen before the CheckPoint callback occurs.
Code:
void CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);
Sets a checkpoint at which the player will respawn in case he dies.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
Count is 0 on the first checkpoint load!
asName - the internal name
asStartPos - the name of the StartPos in the editor
asCallback - the function to call when the player dies/respawns
asDeathHintCat - the category of the death hint message to be used in the .lang file
asDeathHintEntry - the entry in the .lang fileRE: Player death event - User01 - 04-02-2018
Thanks
