[solved] How to delete a item?

[pescadorrr 17]

I need the code to delete a item.

I make a task with a trigger linked him and i need to delete a object when actívate.

I have achieved that a second task is activated to the players when finishing the first task and i need delete a object.

 

The code for the second task assigned is this:

 

class pista_Class: SCR_BaseFactionTriggerEntity 
{
    override void OnActivate(IEntity ent)
    {
        super.OnActivate(ent);
                
        BaseWorld world = ent.GetWorld();
        IEntity entity = world.FindEntityByName("tarea_2");
        SCR_BaseTask task = SCR_BaseTask.Cast(entity);
        
        FactionKey m_sAssignedFaction  = "US";
        Faction targetFaction = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionByKey(m_sAssignedFaction);
        task.SetTargetFaction(targetFaction);
    }

};

 

"Tarea_2" is the name of the second task.

 

Thanks for the help.

One thing you could try is to get the entity's parent and remove the entity from its children.

IEntity ent = ...
ent.GetParent().RemoveChild(ent);

I doubt this is best practice and may leave the entity straggling in memory, but it should get the job done.

I haven't tested this code myself, but it should work as long as the parent isn't null for some reason.

You could try this, it deletes the entity on the server and can be called by the owner entity itself to delete it:

// Note: The entity needs an RPL component, m_Owner is the entity to be deleted.

SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteEntityAndChildren( m_Owner );
or 
SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteChildren( m_Owner );

This option gives an error and does not work, thanks anyway

This opcion works:

IEntity docus = world.FindEntityByName("documentos");
SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteEntityAndChildren( docus );

Thanks for the anwers.

Yes, you have to know the entity you want to delete.
