Why doesn't this work?

Code:

---

ACTION Player
...
ent_create("knife.mdl",my.x,attach_weapon);
if(my.health <= 0){ent_remove("knife.mdl");}
...  

---

because you have to use a pointer for ent_remove.

==>>

Code:

---

//now you is the pointer to my knife model
you=ent_create("knife.mdl",my.x,attach_weapon);

//now remove you and you is the knife
ent_remove(you);

---

should work

Thanks, Nipx, but it didn't work. No error, tho.

do you call any wait before you remove the model?

Try this:

Code:

---

entity* ent_knife;

ACTION Player
...
ent_knife = ent_create("knife.mdl",my.x,attach_weapon);
if(my.health <= 0){ent_remove(ent_knife);}
...

I appreciate the suggestions.

But that ornery knife just won't go away.
Perhaps the reason is in some other part of the script rather than the player action.

Do some easy debugging. Use an snd_play() function to "hear" which functions are being run or which ifs are being entered. If you can't here the sound then you know its not getting to that point in the script.
Otherwise, post some more of your code.

I thing that's what beep() is for.

Thanks, guys. I found a workaround, or maybe a better way to do it.

I put the health condition in the attach_weapon action and that works.

lol, no comment
