[Solved] Deleting pressure plates

I know I had this issue, and others may have done, with deleting pressure plates.
If you use try to delete the plate as you stand on it by connecting it to a script_entitiy with the following code, the game will crash:-
Code: Select all
function delete()
-- other stuff you want to occur here.
pressure_plate_hidden_1:destroy()
end
To overcome this problem, connect the plate to a timer with a 0.1 second delay, and then connect the timer to the script to delete it. Also add a connector to the timer to 'deactivate' itself.
Job's a goodun

Why do you need to destroy a pressure plate? To make a plate activate once you can set the activate once property...

I had the plate activating a script to grant xp when a condtion was met, but it was where the party could pass numerous times Petri. I had to have it activate multiple times. Thought it would help folks anyway

before we were able to delete things I was changing the "activated by party" setting of a plate on the fly. I did this where I wanted a plate to start a puzzle and if the player messed up, the same plate would re-start the puzzle, but once the puzzle was done I wanted to disable the initial plate.
e.g.
Code: Select all
puzzle_start_plate:setTriggeredByParty(false)
