Opposite of spawning

Good day everyone.

 

What would be the best way to make an object disapear from your game beside hidding it?

Because, if i'm not mistaken, hidding does not remove an object from the game.

I think it's calling Release()

I added this bit of code to MonsterAI.lua

 

make the end of the setmode function look like this

 

elseif mode=="dying" then

self.entity:Stop()

self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence("Death",0.04,300,1,self,self.EndDeath)

elseif mode=="dead" then

self.entity:SetCollisionType(0)

self.entity:SetMass(0)

self.entity:SetShape(nil)

self.entity:SetPhysicsMode(Entity.RigidBodyPhysics)

if self.target ~=nil then

self.target = nil

end

self.deadtime=Time:GetCurrent()

end

 

the end of the UpdatePhysics to look like this

 

 

elseif self.mode=="attack" then

if self.attackbegan~=nil then

if t-self.attackbegan>self.attackdelay then

if self.target.entity:GetDistance(self.entity)<1.5 then

self.attackbegan=nil

self.target:Hurt(self.damage)

end

end

end

local pos = self.entity:GetPosition()

local targetpos = self.target.entity:GetPosition()

local dx=targetpos.x-pos.x

local dz=targetpos.z-pos.z

self.entity:AlignToVector(-dx,0,-dz)

elseif self.mode=="dead" then

if t>self.deadtime+1000 then

self.entity:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition().x,self.entity:GetPosition().y-0.01,self.entity:GetPosition().z)

end

 

if t>self.deadtime+2000 then

 

self.enabled=false

self.entity:Release()

end

end

 

 

You should also add

 

Script.deadtime=0

 

to the list of Private values at the top of the .lua file

 

When your monster is killed, it lies dead for 1 second, then sinks into the ground for the next second and the release causes it to disappear.

Thanks for the replys.

 

I was thinking of "releasing" inanimated objects. When thrown in a meat grinder they hit a hidden box with the collisiontrigger script and they disappear from the game and that trigger a particle emitter for a second or so. Unfortunaly, i'm not a very good scripter...Could some of you just give me some hints to get me started. I don't want a script from some one, just the general idea so i can make this happen an learn at the same time.

 

Thanks for your time.
