To delete sprites, I see
sp_kill(&sprite, 10);
but also
sp_active(&sprite, 0);
What is the difference with them?

Btw, I noticed that when you use sp_kill, even with a draw_hard_map just after, it doesn't delete the hardness (but sp_active do).
Thanks.

I do know a little difference between them...
sp_kill(&sprite, 10);
The # you enter there (10) tells sp_kill to wait 10 miliseconds before killing the sprite.
I think this is to avoid a wait(10); and then do a sp_active(&sprite, 0); (This won't stop the script while waiting for the sprite's death)
sp_active(&sprite, 0);
This kills the sprite right away. DEAD! ;)

Mmm, this nick reminds me someone :)
So I reformulate:
What is the difference between
sp_kill_wait(&sprite) and sp_active(&sprite, 0).
They seem to have the same function,
but sp_active seeems to work better with sprite with warp.
