Example Server-Side Usage

Simple Kill Notifications

RegisterServerEvent('esx:onPlayerDeath')
AddEventHandler('esx:onPlayerDeath', function(data)
    data.victim = source

    if data.killedByPlayer then
        TriggerClientEvent('esx:showNotification', -1, GetPlayerName(data.victim) .. 'was killed by ' .. GetPlayerName(data.killerServerId) .. ' from ' .. data.distance .. ' units')
    else
        TriggerClientEvent('esx:showNotification', -1, GetPlayerName(data.victim) .. ' died')
    end
end)

Example Client-Side Usage

Here is a perfect example for checking if the player (client side) is dead, which is useful for a lot of things, for example only allowing menus to be open if alive.

local IsDead = false

AddEventHandler('esx:onPlayerDeath', function(data)
    IsDead = true
end)

AddEventHandler('playerSpawned', function(spawn)
    IsDead = false
end)
