Example

Example 1: This simple example adds a kill command to commit suicide.

end
-- attach our handler to the "kill" command
addCommandHandler("kill", commitSuicide)

function headshotKill ( attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart, loss )
	if bodypart == 9 then --if the bodypart is the head
		--kill the player, emulating the correct killer, weapon and bodypart.
		killPlayer ( source, attacker, attackerweapon, bodypart )
	end
end
