I think it is impossible to remove any partcles from the enemyn while ingame..
There arent any scripts for these, also NTO for removing billboards as far as i know..
I couldnt get uit to be done..
Why?
For example:
SetLightVisible("character_infected_1_SpotLight_1", false); - remove light (billboard too, if it connected to light) from enemy "character_infected_1".
Similarly for particles:
DestroyParticleSystem("character_infected_1_particle_system_1");

That is a good point.
What is harder is to determine whether the enemy is on or off.
At least your solution is testworthy
RE: Amnesia Partikel und Monster - DnALANGE - 05-26-2014
DestroyParticleSystem("character_infected_1_particle_system_1");
Tried these things, it didnt work for me.
When i had the flaslight(billboard) on the enemy { hatman in Premonition }
I couldnt get the billboard turned off..
SO when i disabled the hatman guy, the billboards stayed there where he was getting disabled.

If your thing works, explane what to do in the modeleditor for the ppl who are interested in it.
I couldnt get it to work, i added the billboard on the Hatman guy, and i couldnt get it disabled with any script at all.
SO i made the hatman fall into the abyss \ floor.
HOW? i made that small plane part where he walks on NOT COLLIDING.
And after 1.5 seconds +- i added a blockbox there so you could walk and the player didnt fall down either.
RE: Amnesia Partikel und Monster - Mudbill - 05-26-2014
You might not be able to disable the billboard directly, but you can disable a light that it is attached to. Create a light in the entity that has a 0 radius (to make it invisible), but attach a billboard to it. Changing the properties of the light will instead change the properties of the billboard because it is the only thing visible.
I haven't tried this in the Model Editor myself, but I use it in levels and I know it works. I can imagine it would work for in-entity billboards/lights though, if done with above stated method.
RE: Amnesia Partikel und Monster - DnALANGE - 05-26-2014
BUT does it work on monsters as well?
IF you want to turn monster off ( also disable the light offcourse )
BUT, does the engine understand to ALSO remove the billboard?
RE: Amnesia Partikel und Monster - Mudbill - 05-26-2014
I'm not sure, but it might work. If not right away, perhaps by disabling the light just before disabling the enemy itself. I know the engine can remove billboards this way though, because I use this feature for changing visibility and color of billboards from a player's actions.
RE: Amnesia Partikel und Monster - DnALANGE - 05-26-2014
i know that as well.
Hmm.. we should take a closer look to this!

Hmm, it's weird. Its work for me. I attached a particle system on monster bone. And use, for example, DestroyParticleSystem("enemy_ParticleSystem_1");
Same way for lights. (SetLightVisible("enemy_Spotlight_1");)

Creative :D But why you didn't use a simple script?) I mean TeleportEnemyToNode or TeleportEnemyToEntity.

Those are from the beta patch though, aren't they? Which means the player would need it to play the game. I dunno if he was using it to begin with, but if it can be avoided until it's published and easily available for everyone, that would be a lot better (in my opinion).
