            {
                // This will only execute for the Player,
                // since it's Manner and Faction is always "Player"
                AreaEvent "YouDie,2,Player"

                // This however will only execute if an NPC's state is currently st_idle
                AreaEvent "ScaryCorpse,3,st_idle"

                // If you want to limit it to cops instead...
                // The event will only be fired if they are in st_idle state, and their Faction
                // is called Police
                AreaEvent "CopScaryCorpse,3,st_idle,Police"

                // Let's repeat it.. so events will get fired over and over again
                Wait 3
                Repeat 0

// We assume this is an NPC behavior's st_idle state, pay attention to the events!
// Note: don't copy this as is, as it won't work, but it's an example how it should work
