Custom Killlicon when calling Player:Kill()

[Miltec]

Hello everyone!

I have a disease system on my server and I want to edit it so when a player dies(the player gets killed by calling Player:Kill()) from an ilness, a killicon of that ilness is displayed.

How can I get a custom killicon to display?

Not sure if this is the correct way to go about it but the concept works.
Register that the player died by a disease before calling :Kill(), include the class/type if there's multiple.
Override the PlayerDeath hook and spawn your own death notice if the player died by disease.

if SERVER then
util.AddNetworkString("customIcon")

concommand.Add("killme", function(ply)
ply.requestedKill = true
ply.requestedType = "example_class"
ply:Kill()
end)

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "customIcon", function(victim)
if victim.requestedKill ~= true then return end

net.Start("customIcon")
net.WriteEntity(victim)
net.WriteString(victim.requestedType)
net.Broadcast()

victim.requestedKill = nil
victim.requestedType = nil
return true
end)
return
end

killicon.AddFont("example_class", "HL2MPTypeDeath", "-", Color(255,255,255))

local gm = gmod.GetGamemode()
net.Receive("customIcon", function()
local victim = net.ReadEntity()
local class = net.ReadString()
gm:AddDeathNotice( "", -1, class, victim:Name(), victim:Team() )
end)
