How to completley kill a sprite and script?

If I have placed a sprite with the editor,

int &s = sp(1);

the sprite has a script attached

Is it just to call its die() procedure, or must I do something more?

sp_kill(¤t_sprite, 1);
kill_this_task;

Use global variables if you want to make the script DIE DIE DIEEE completely.

Good luck with your dmod,dude!

Oh, and put &current_sprite there, it changes to the symbol.

You can use sp_script to replace a sprite's script with another script:

int &s = sp(1);
script_attach(0);
sp_script(&s, "newscript");
kill_this_task();

Newcript could include:

sp_active(&current_sprite, 0);
kill_this_task();

Or you could have sp_active in the die procedure or in the script somewhere as sp_active will destroy anything and it's not possible to resurrect anything crushed by sp_active(~~, 0);

isnt it something like
sp_active(&current_sprite,0);
and
kill_this_task();

dang quiz...

I've found that sp_kill works just as well. Oh, and yes, you put those brackets in kill_this_task.
so

sp_kill(¤t_sprite, 1); if you like me   
sp_active(¤t_sprite, 0); if you don't   
kill_this_task();

Also, if you call on the die(); procedure you can kill the script. And add sp_kill to make the sprite disappear.

soz MsDink.

sp_kill will also work, but you have a wait time of 1 before it's killed, so I's not quite that good if you compare to sp_active. 1 MILLISECOND, HUGE DIFFERENCE!

You're RIGHT!
But a time of 1 is almost like.... a millisecond. It works in my DMOD.
Edit: Lol Quiztis.

pff your answer was better and more informed anyways quiz

Thanks all for the help!
