This is the correct form to delete a entity ? i dont understand how to use this "set_pev(ent, pev_flags, FL_KILLME)" but i read its necessary for safety?

[lexzor]

it's not necessary for safety, it's just a flag that tell the engine the entity must be removed in the next frame

i see you are using remove_entity(ent) so i'm sure you are using engine module, just use remove_entity and set the entity next think in order to remove it from the world.

            continue;
            
        set_pev(ent, pev_flags, FL_KILLME)
        remove_entity(ent);
    }
}

PHP Code:

public remove_all_bh(id)
{
    new ent = 33;
    
    while((ent = find_ent_by_class(ent, gBlackHoleModel)) != 0) {
        if( entity_get_edict(ent, EV_ENT_owner) != id )
            continue;
            

        set_pev(ent, pev_nextthink, get_gametime() + 0.1);
    }
} 


something like this?

[lexzor]

use remove_entity before nextthink
the fastest you can set a entity think (as far as i know) is 0.01

This is the proper way to remove entities with specific classname by owner...

PHP Code:

new ent = MAX_PLAYERS + 1;

while( (ent = find_ent_by_owner(ent, gBlackHole_EntName, id)) > 0)
{
    set_pev(ent, pev_flags, FL_KILLME);
    dllfunc(DLLFunc_Think, ent);
}

error will throw, u are starting the think to an invalid entity, u removed it before with FL_KILLME

setting KILL ME or with remove_entity( ent ) its more than enough.

setting KILLME flag will safely remove the entity on think, setting the flag alone it doesn't mean anything until you call the entity think, if you don't know what you're talking about do not post...

You're just confusing the people...

OR

PHP Code:

stock kill_entity(ent)
{
    entity_set_int(ent, EV_INT_flags, FL_KILLME)
}
