// has been killed. It shows in text-type 3, for 5 seconds (5000 ms)
new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));
// Format the passed-away message properly, and show it to everyone:
new string[64];
format(string, sizeof(string), "~w~%s has passed away", name);
GameTextForAll(string, 5000, 3);

GameTextForAll("~w~%s has passed away", 5000, 3, name);
return 1;
}
Notes
warning
Do note that the players may crash because of odd number of tilde (~) symbols used in the game text. Using color codes (e.g. ~r~) beyond the 255th character may crash the client.
