Removing spawned collections

Questions
1

Hey there,

I was reading the tutorial on adding GO at runtime and also removing them on for example reset.

I thought I can do something similar with entire collections.
I was following the documentation for spawning a collection at runtime:

But there is no information on removing them again. And since the collection factory is not returning a single ID, I don’t even know how to reference the collection.

Any points would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephan

You use go.delete_all(). Check out:

The collection proxy manual should be updated with an example though.

Great thanks, I got it working!

Another tricky part was to find the correct item in the table of spawned collections.
I am sending the id of the GO that had a collision and find it in the collection.

for i,p in ipairs(self.spawned_bullets) do
        if p[hash("/bullet")] == message.id then
                table.remove(self.spawned_bullets, i)
                go.delete_all(p)
        end
end
