## Syntax

```lua
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, function(string reason) ... end)
```

## Handler parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `reason` | `string` | Why they left, for example `"requested"`, `"timeout"`, `"kicked"`, `"crashed"`, `"process killed"`, `"signed in elsewhere"`, `"shutting down"`. `"requested"` is when they left on their own. |

## Source

The player that left.

## Example

```lua
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, function(reason)
    outputServerLog(getPlayerName(source) .. " left (" .. reason .. ")")
end)
```

### Note

A player removed with `kickPlayer` leaves with `"kicked"`: the reason given to `kickPlayer` does not reach this event.
