[Question] DeletePed instantly after it is killed

[xander1998]

So I ended up writing a lot more code than I wanted but this is what I came up with as an example of a simple mission generator.

__resource.lua

local activeMissions = {}
local missions = {
	-- Mission One [Example Mission]
	{
		spawns = {
			{
				x = 1994.93,
				y = 3052.98,
				z = 47.21,
				models = {
					"U_M_Y_Zombie_01"
				}
			},
			{
				x = 1989.5758056641,
				y = 3055.4487304688,
				z = 47.215156555176,
				models = {
					"U_M_Y_Zombie_01"
				}
			}
		}
	},
	-- Mission Two [Example Extra Mission | No different than mission one]
	{
		spawns = {
			{
				x = 1994.93,
				y = 3052.98,
				z = 47.21,
				models = {
					"U_M_Y_Zombie_01"
				}
			},
			{
				x = 1989.5758056641,
				y = 3055.4487304688,
				z = 47.215156555176,
				models = {
					"U_M_Y_Zombie_01"
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
