Removing entities

[Sauron The King]

Hello,

I'm making a custom story in which you have to set a painting on fire with a candle and tinderboxes. I've made the following script:
The painting will get on fire as soon as I lit the candle. But the fire won't go out at all, nor will the painting go away. I've used "SetEntityActive" with "false" as bool. The fire will appear, but nothing will disappear at all. What is wrong?

I think I see it... from where you start setting entities INACTIVE, you have the functions titled as the TIMER NAMES, NOT the callback the timer calls for. I fixed it up a bit. Let me know how it turned out. (just copy and replace the whole thing):

Thanks for the fast response, I've used your code. Now the fire will disappear, but the painting won't go away at all. I've tried renaming it in both the script and in the level Editor, but it will just stay where it is
Any ideas how to remove it?

[Unearthlybrutal]

Is the painting static? I don't know if that really matters if its entity anyway... :/

Yes it is, but even if I place another painting instead of that one, it won't disappear, I really don't get it

[darkside]

I don't know which one of them is the painting but I assume it's the compound. Try to disable the things without the compound.

[Statyk]

Like darkside said. I've never tried disabling a compound before, but that could be the problem. change the name from "Compound_10" in the script to the specific name of the painting. and if you need multiple things disabled from the compound, you're going to have to write a script to disable each on it's own.

I've tried removing more paintings, but none of them will disappear. That's why I've replaced the paintings with curtains, these will disappear. So that's good for now

Thanks for helping guys!
