Hi Wolf,
Really good to see you getting back into game design!
Quote: "I'd just have the entity disappear in a "normal" fashion and spawn an interesting effect where it used to be simultaneously."
That was my initial thought as well. As in classic, I could spawn a decal or something similar and that would give me the desired effect, however, we don't have decals yet or particles, so, I was curious to see if anyone had a dirty work around?
It's not hugely necessary; I just don't like the way that things simply 'pop' out of existence.
Cheers
Jay.
