Spawning an obejct for a certain time limit.

[Edgarsnorajona]

Hello i am trying to spawn an object when a player enters a marker and make it disappear after some seconds.

I need to know how to make the object disappear after a few seconds.

             
smoke = createObject ( 2780, -2080.5, 1387.4000244141, 5.1999998092651, 0, 0, 0 ) 
setTimer ( smoke, 2500, 1, source, true, 2.5) 

This doesn't seem to work.

In setTimer, the first argument is the function you want to be called, then goes the time and execution count and further is whatever you want to pass to the called function. So if you want destroyElement(smoke) to be delayed, you have to call setTimer like this:

setTimer(destroyElement, 2500, 1, smoke)

This did the trick. Thanks!
