Then add this mod , reload the game, and type "/gvv" in the chat window to open the GUI of gvv. You can then inspect the contents of your global table. Also, you should add "log()" commands to your code so you can follow what happens and see whether the part that should destroy the entities is ...

Thank you!

I will load now, however, the entity wont despawn. Should the entire code be in control.lua? Should I do something else to the entity to make it interact with the event script?

Thanks for the reply!

I've been trying to implement the script as good as I can, but I still getting error messages that I don't understand what it means.

the code that I have been running in the control.lua is

I am so lost in what the piece of code that you posted means, which makes me unable to implement my entity to it, this is my entity that I want to give a despawn timer, how would the script code look like with this in mind?

end

Edit:
Thank you for the help! :D

The script that I want to "overwrite" ( don't know the proper terminology) another mods settings is:

Hello,

I was wondering if the sticker prototype can be made to not affect the player, but other objects in the game world?

As I was doing it, I started to look into more complex mods that I've enjoyed and wanted to see "how-it-works", while doing so I ...
