I have searched all over but I can't find a kill script for the life of me... maybe cause I wouldn't even know what one was if I saw it but anyway...

What I need is a simple kill script upon owner's command.

eg, I have a few objects out that I want to go away if I say "delete" or whatever, and they simply delete themselves.

Can someone help me out please?

CODE
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string m)
    {
        if (m == "die")
        {
            llDie();
        }
    }
}

Don't know if this is a valid tip or not, but:

You can still have ghosting problems. Ghost objects can be a serious visual problem. For instance in 3d-vendors, where ghosted items mess up the view of the next item.

I usually send the object down below the ground before it dies if there is a risk it will be in the way if it ghosts.

if you force it to update before it deletes you greatly reduce the chances of ghosting. So have it run an llSetPos(llGetPos()+<0,0,0.001>;); just before the die. (or llSetText())

I can see it now... Object sets text to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, starts trembling, and emits a particle explosion right before llDie! :D

Is that a little farther than "Six Feet Under"? :)

Depends how far away the ground is.

The 0.001 is as near zero as you can define for the purposes of a vector. Is it possible that you would be able to use a negative number in that slot and make it dissapear? For instance:

llSetPos(llGetPos()+<0,0,-600.0> );

Or is that impossible?

I'm trying to understand the llSetPos() function.

the furthest a setpos can go is 10 meters at a time (it normalizes your vector so it's distance becomes 10...) so to move it underground would require multiple setpos commands.
