I created a structure using:
Code:
  myStructure = createStructure(sStructureName)
  myStructure.addToGlobalStructureList()


Now I'd like to delete it:
Code:
  myStructure = getStructure(index)
  myStructure.removeFromGlobalStructureList()
  deleteStructure(myStructure)               <= does not exist


Any ideas?
Thank you!

That was too easy, thanks!

Suppose I don't want to destroy the whole thing, I just want to wipe it.
Is there an easy way to remove all elements? (without a destroy loop?)
The Count property is read-only, so setting that to zero does not work.

Nope, got to destroy all the elements using a loop

These (while and for loops) do not seem to wipe the structure (neither one).

Code:

function fn_WipeStructureElements(sourceStructure)
  if sStructureName==nil or sStructureName=="" then return nil end

  while sourceStructure.Count>0 do sourceStructure.Element[0].destroy() end

--  for i=sourceStructure.Count-1, 0, -1 do
--    sourceStructure.Element[i].destroy()
--  end

end



What am I missing?

Thank you!
