DeleteLocalLocation(object, string)

Deletes oObject's location variable sVarName.

void DeleteLocalLocation(
    object oObject,
    string sVarName
);

Parameters

oObject

The object storing the variable.

sVarName

Variable name to delete.

Description

This function deletes an object's entry for the location defined by sVarName. Nothing will happen if sVarName doesn't exsist.

Note: A location is made up of a vector position (X, Y, Z) area (object) and facing (0-360 degrees). All can be got by GetXXXFromLocation().

Remarks

As with all deletions, once removed, GetLocalLocation returns, for this, OBJECT_INVALID when GetAreaFromLocation() is called on the return value. Cleaning up old variables can help CPU performance if many are stored on one object (especially if the module has many unused values on it) and good for deleting the new persistant variables which can be put on a PC's inventory item, which will hinder performance if there are many unused values.

Version

Example

// We delete the variable "RESPAWN_LOCATION" if the PC has entered this trigger
void main()
{
    // Declare the entering object
    object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
    // Delete the local location
    DeleteLocalLocation(oPC, "RESPAWN_LOCATION");
}
