Return type

integer

Example

/* Player::PlayerDeath is triggered whenever someone die */
function Player::PlayerDeath( player ) 
{
      /* Check whether the player that just died is local player/self */
      if ( player.ID == World.FindLocalPlayer( ).ID )
      {
            /* Get epoch time */
            local time = System.GetTimestamp( );

            /* Show the epoch time of player's death to local player/self. This is just for example */ 
            Console.Print( player.Name +" died at "+ time );
      }
}
