[Help] Death Message Fading - 0Z3ro0 - 02.11.2013

Hey guys and gals. I recently added death messages to my server, but quickly found out they stay there forever and never fade away. This can get annoying at times, so I am wondering if there is some code I could add that would make the death messages and login messages fade away after say 2 minutes.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day everyone!

{
    SendDeathMessage(killerid, playerid, reason), SetTimer("cleardm", 120000, false); // You can either do it this way or set a global timer that repeats
    return 1;
}

forward cleardm();
public cleardm()
{
    for(new g = 0; g < 5; g++)
        SendDeathMessage(255, 24, 255);
    return 1;
}

Thank you for your help. Sending 5 blank messages is fine, I am not making this server for commercial use, I just want an enjoyable server to play on, so "working around the bush" is not a problem for me. My I ask you to break down this code please? Rather then copy and paste it I would like to learn what it means and how it works.

With what are you using the messages ? With textdraws, gametext or something else ?
