Can be used by games and minigames to display the most recent kills, deaths, important events, etc. on the HUD.
Useful for PvP games, battle games, shooters, etc.
When a kill or other “event of interest” happens, an entry in the kill log will appear on the screen. For a kill, the entry will show, from left to right:
- The killer
- A weapon (as an image)
- The victim
For suicides, only the weapon and the player are shown.
Despite being called “kill log”, the log may also show other events like scoring a goal in soccer, capturing the flag in CTF, etc.
