when an entity has been created

PHP Code:

new ent_a = create_entity("info_target") 


how to remove this entity(ent_a) automatically after a certain time(e.g 20 seconds).
thx!

[Exolent[jNr]]

set_task(20.0, "TaskRemoveEntity", ent_a)

// ..

public TaskRemoveEntity(ent)
{
    if(is_valid_ent(ent))
    {
        remove_entity(ent)
    }
}

or

entity_set_int(ent_a, EV_INT_flags, (get_entity_flags(ent_a) | FL_KILLME))
entity_set_float(ent_a, EV_FL_nextthink, (get_gametime() + 20.0))

Method 1 didn't work? What error did it give you? Method 1 is as simple as it gets.

There is no reason why the first method shouldn't work, unless there is some problem with the task.
