Hi there. I am having a problem with I hope you guys can help me with.

I have built a large room with about 5 characters which do not attack you. They are there to set the mood of the level and follow waypoints etc to make the area look busy. They are spawned by trigger zone just before you enter the area.

You leave the room and the door locks itself behind you so you can't go back. I then want the characters to destroy themselves to keep performance as high as possible. I am having trouble however.

For a start I tried adding "activated=2,destroy" to their AI and while this DOES work their shadow remains and so I'm not actually sure if they have truly destroyed themselves (I doubt it). Another problem here is that if the player walks back across the original trigger zone I beleive they will all destroy themselves aswell...

Can anyone help me out?

After the door locks itself can you not have a second trigger zone as your player exits set to spawn exploding barrels within proximity to the npc's, turn off the explosion sound effect and they entities would be killed off without the player noticing

id like to know this too, but my characters have a script where if the player kills them the game ends. i need to destroy them without triggering the failure of the game.

I thought of the barrel a while back too. I think I'll try it. My only concern was that it may lag when they spawned but hey, I'll give it a try.

Gorba. Why don't you just try adding activate=2,destroy to your AI. For all I know this DOES actually remove them but the game may think otherwise as the shadow still remains.
