Ability to directly delete entities from existence

[TheAberto]

an example code:

command  /LiveForThreeSecond:
    trigger:
        spawn cow
        set {_theCow} to last spawned cow
        wait 3 seconds
        delete {_theCow}

The delete {_theCow} effect just deleting a variable. But we can not delete the spawned cow with using a variable.

Maybe you can use this effect: delete random element of {_theCow} or delete random element of {_theCows::*} (save the cow in a list variable.)

So, i think developers should add an effect like this: delete entity of {_theCow}

kill {_theCow}

[TheAberto]

kill {_theCow}
You know thats not same thing. its dropping items.

[TPGamesNL]

kill {_theCow}

You know thats not same thing. its dropping items.

You can cancel that in on death...

[TheAberto]

kill {_theCow}

You know thats not same thing. its dropping items.

You can cancel that in on death...

Thats not same thing still. Your method has 2 part.
-kill entity
-cancel drops
#Triggered on death event.

also, there are death particles spawn when an entity death. (or animations ex: ender dragon)

also, the entities will looks red. So,why we should deal for it? eventually there are a delete entity method. Please do not say anything while you don't know.

Sorry, I didn't really understand what you were saying, but I think I get it now.

Deleting entities could be a useful enhancement, so that users don't have to listen to additional events and the like thereof.

#5198 fixes this:

delete entity within {var}
