Use tellraw to display a player death message about the player who died [closed]

Basically, whenever someone dies, I say in chat:

/tellraw @a {"text":"","color":"aqua","extra":[{"selector":"@p"},{"text":" has finally died"}]}

The above command tells me whoever was closer to the command block when it was activated died. I currently have a scoreboard that tracks the deaths:

/scoreboard players set @a hasDied 0

And then removes them after the death message appears.

So I want to make something that basically looks like this:

/tellraw @a {"text":"","color":"aqua","extra":[{"selector":"@p[score_hasDied_min=1]"},{"text":" has finally died"}]}

How do I get the @p[score_hasDied_min=1] to work inside the tellraw command, or something similar?

(This is Minecraft v. 1.12.2)

This worked for me, just follow my steps:

1. First make the scoreboard: /scoreboard objectives add hadDied deathCount

2. Place this in a repeating command block that is always active and is facin up with unconditional: /testfor @a[score_hasDied_min=1]

3. Place this in a chain command block with always active, condentional and facing up and place it over the repeating one: /tellraw @a {"text":"","color":"aqua","extra":[{"selector":"@a[score_hasDied_min=1]"},{"text":" has finally died"}]}

4. Place this chain command block over the last chain command block with the same configurations (always active, condentional and facing up): /scoreboard players reset @a[score_hasDied_min=1] hasDied And then it should work!

I have tried it online with my friends and it worked so hope it does for you to.

This is how they should look like
