I created a neat "now you see it, now you don't" effect where I press a button, and a secret wall covers the statue, seconds later the statue is mysteriously gone.

It works like a charm, but about 5 seconds after the secret door reveals that it is gone, the program crashes and I'm returned to the editor with this error: "attempt to index global "dragonstatue" (a nil value) X"

I only get the error after I've tested the event.

The destroy script is:

Anyone else having either the same trouble or any solution?

I assume you have a timer running to destroy the statue. You have to deactivate the timer or else the function will activate again, which causes a crash since the 'dragonstatue' entity doesn't exist anymore (you just destroyed it after all).

Ah! I assumed it had something to do with the function repeating itself...
Wouldn't guess it was actually the timer being the culprit.

The magical act is now performing as it should. Buy tickets. Special price for you.

Thanks for the quick reply!

it's a good habit to pretty much always set your timers to deactivate
