:When a player disconnects from the server (the opposite of GAMEEVENT_PLAYERCONNECT).

The activator is the world, <tt>arg1</tt> is the number of the player who disconnected, and <tt>arg2</tt> indicates the reason the player disconnected - see [[#Leave reasons|Leave reasons]] below. | :When a player disconnects from the server (the opposite of GAMEEVENT_PLAYERCONNECT).

:This event is executed early in map initialization, before things are spawned, OPEN scripts executed, etc. This script is usable as a way to manipulate map features early where the regular OPEN script doesn't work. This is not to be confused with said {{Zdoomwiki|Script types#OPEN|OPEN scripts}} which fire when a level initialized, happening much later down the line. The activator is the world. | |||

*'''Method A''': Add the properties <tt>ForceSpawnEventScripts</tt> or <tt>ForceDamageEventScripts</tt> in the [[zdoom:GameInfo_definition|GameInfo Definition]]. This helps if you want all actors to execute these events. Note that using this method in the case of '''GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_SPAWNED''', actors with the <tt>NOBLOCKMAP</tt> or <tt>NOSECTOR</tt> flags still won't execute the event. This way, only the non-trivial actors are accounted for. | *'''Method A''': Add the properties <tt>ForceSpawnEventScripts</tt> or <tt>ForceDamageEventScripts</tt> in the [[zdoom:GameInfo_definition|GameInfo Definition]].
