desroy objects

07 Oct 2006, 17:06Is there a way to destroy objects? I was using the take object in qdk but it just drops it on the ground, and concealing or making inaccessible really doesn't serve my purpose. Anyway, i knew you could destroy doorways, just hoping to be able to get rid of the mug of beer........after i worked so hard to make it.

But you can move them to a room which nobody can access.

26 Oct 2006, 12:11well, while running a multiplayer game that will need to be occationally updated when running in game quests and wars and such, it will be rather annoying to try and code an inn with a million hidden objects like beer, food, broken weapons, dead creatures and other things. Secondly, it takes up server space and would end up slowing down the game as I understand it, which in most games that I have played is why they have a decay rate on dropped objects so they are not there inevitably.
I just really want a destroy object command!
