Canary Creature Event onDeath, how does it work?

[Carrot]

Hi, I'm working on a small quest script that resets variables when everyone in the quest room has died.

I'm storing the players in a table, so I wanted a way to check if the players are still alive by calling a function when a player dies

I've tried registering a new OnDeath event in the script

local creatureEvent = CreatureEvent("DungeonPlayerDeath")

function creatureEvent.onDeath(creature)
  print("player died")
end

creatureEvent:register()

But it doesnt seem to be called when a player dies? Is there a tried and true method to do this? I've been looking for documentation but its not very clear

Hi.
You need to get all the players in the quest and register this event on them.
They auto de-register on death so only need to do player:registerEvent("DungeonPlayerDeath") and it should be ok (? i think)

Maybe this is missing in the lever/teleport that sends players into the dungeon:

player:registerEvent("DungeonPlayerDeath")

Got it! Thats what I was missing! Thank you so much! I'll post the full script once its done

Edit: I was used to the method of registering events in xml so i was confused
