1) Send the entity you'd like to kill a Kill input.

2) Point_template.

hm tryed that but i cant kill something i cant get the name of! when i spawn something it will ofc get a new name ... how is a trigger going to kill something that has a difrent name ??

When a point_template spawns a new entity, the new name is something like oldname&0000, where 0000 goes up to 9999. So, to kill an instance of a copied entity provided no other such instances exist, kill the entity named oldname*. Also, !activator works quite well as a target when you're not sure of the targetname of the entity you're killing.

uhm could you explane so i can understand? you mean the windows thing also works for hl2 / Css mapping???? (delite *.dll fag*.* and so on)

It's not a true wildcard, though. Killing foo*bar will kill every entity whose name begins with foo. http://www.editlife.net/tutorials.php?id=12

Then you'd want a trigger targetting !activator.

ooh now i get it thanks thugh it will kill other objects too ......and !activator whont do this : on start toutch -> !activator -> light off and so on.. argh >_<

Trigger_multiple has both handy-dandy Flags and a Filter Name property to allow you extra control over valid activators

If the prop is deleted, then the light parented to it should also be deleted.

if i dont set the light off BEFORE killing the light will mess up map
