Check the community guide. There is a tutorial of sorts on something similar to this that may actually help you and point you in the right direction on how to do this.

What you can do to give this an excellent effect is lower the alphafade of the character when the player gets close enough.

The line for this would be something along the lines of:


(This will make the alphafade of the entity decrease towards 0, causing it to smoothly fade away and disappear)

That would work but wouldn't the collision still be on for the entity? or will it be destroyed?

I only gave him part of the solution, hockeykid. He asked how to make them disappear, so I did.... did I not fulfill the requirements?


If you give them all of the code at once, they won't fully understand the reasoning behind having all of that code. And if they do... they would have known how to do it themselves in the first place. So in either case, I'm not treating him like a newb by putting it all out there for him with the assumption that he couldn't do it, and I'm not denying him a learning experience.

Good point, i said that because i had thought that maybe you were in a rush and forgot the last part or something.

Collision can be turned off with the "coloff" command, and turned back on with the "colon" command.

Or, if the player should never be able to collide with the entity, you can have it turn collision off in the script's "initializing" state.
