btw always wait 1 frame be4 ptr_remove / ent_remove instructions and NEVER(!) use them ( like particels - related stuff aswell ) in events !!! ...might work first but sometime in someplace of your game it will lead2 full engine crashes without any(!) error / debug - messages...fact.

another btw: Tracing every frame kills / eats performance !
And even in a simple FPS - project ull need every(!) single frame2 keep, in the final product, the framerate acceptable ( use LOD from first until last model 4ex...adding LOD to an existing game is a HELL of work, fyi )

edit:
Just remembered something you should take care of when starting your project:
When using extern skin files in your models ( 4ex shared DDS textures ) save them in the same folder where u stored your models. There is ( still ) a bug in the resource - compiler / pragma_path - statement. U wont face this bug when running script from SED, 4ex. It will appear first when running the compiled EXE file of your game ( outside SED of course ).
Really really nasty n brainf* bug, 4my taste.
