Show messagebox on player death?

[Orbiter1987]

Is this possible? I tried these two events, but nothing happens.

 

Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller)
	Debug.MessageBox("This is a message")
endEvent

Event OnDying(Actor akKiller)
	Debug.MessageBox("This is a message2")
endEvent

From my own experimentation with trying to do stuff on player death, I'm pretty sure once the player dies (or starts dying), you're basically done.

 

The way I worked around it was to make the player essential:

 

PlayerREF.SetEssential(true)

Which makes them immortal -- they never die! Then use the OnEnterBleedout event:

 

Event OnEnterBleedout()
    Debug.MessageBox("This is a message")
EndEvent

Don't forget to kill them (you should be able to use KillEssential(), or set them unessential again and use old-fashioned Kill()) when you're done, or do whatever else you want to be doing.
