This AI is still in early stages of development.
A global event triggered when a player is defeated.
Syntax
function eventPlayerDefeated(playerID) {
// code to run when player dies
}
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Mandatory | Notes | API Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| playerID | Number |  | The ID of the player that has just been defeated. | 1.0 |
Return value
The return value is not currently processed.
Notes
The event is not triggered for players identified as spectators or vacant slots.
After the player is defeated, the event may lag behind a little - it's only triggered the next time a script tries to determine if the player is alive (and even then only when the cache invalidates). If you want to force a periodical check, set a timer as follows:
Force state check ever second
function checkDefeat() {
void Players.living;
}
setTimer("checkDefeat", 1000); // check every second
Example
Display message when player defeated
function eventPlayerDefeated(playerID) {
console(""+Players[playerID]+" has been defeated");
// maybe now would be a good time to claim their oil? ;)
}
