components/death.cs

Component attached to game objects that triggers a death sequence. It holds a Spectator prefab, a synced Should flag, and on update (server-side) calls Die when Should is true. Die clones the Spectator at the object's position, network-spawns it to the owner, and destroys the original object. It also exposes an Rpc.Broadcast Now method that sets Should to true.
