Deleting entities without crashing server

Hello. I attempt to delete all of a certain entity from a map, with something like this:

Code:

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname){

  if(StrEqual(classname, "trigger_capture_area")){

    RemoveEntity(entity);

  }

}

However, when a server's map changes, this code is very likely to cause the server to crash during the map change. I have tried countless variations including round start, accepting Kill input, server commands, timer-based, and more. There seems to be no way to do this without risking a server crash (while having zero problems without this plugin).

Is there any good way to accomplish this?

Use a SDKHook, SDKHook_SpawnPost, SDKHook_Spawn or RequestFrame hook, this is what i had to do.

Stripper is likely safe since it never spawns if you filter it away.

AcceptEntityInput "kill"

That thread you linked is about RemoveEdict().

AcceptEntityInput("Kill") and RemoveEntity() are the same.

Not to mention that I specifically said I tried and that didn't work in the first post.

Anyway, your SDKHook_SpawnPost or whatever did work, so thanks for that.
