[Help] Annoyingly Persistent Peds

[Kwang4]

I've started modding GTA with C# recently, and as a first test, I made a mod that spawns a ton of peds. It's all cool but when I kill them off, they never despawn, even if I leave the area for a day and come back. Anyone know a fix for this? Also, I've made a global ped variable and I'm not really sure what different handle values do.

Thanks!

You'll want to release the entity (Ped is an Entity) for the game engine to clean up, after spawning it.

npc.MarkAsNoLongerNeeded() should do the trick.

A decent strategy to manage disposable but scripted peds is to keep a list of them, check if they're alive once in a while, and if they're dead, mark them for the game to clean up, and then remove them from your list of managed peds.
