That won't work, since del(src) will immediately end the current proc.

What you need instead is a soft delete, either by using spawn() or by setting all references to null. For example, if nothing else is holding onto this object (not physically mind you, but holding any reference to it), then loc=null will be enough to delete it automatically when the proc is over. If this form of deletion is not an option because you can't predict whether there will be other references, try this:

spawn(1) del(src)
loc = null
return 0


Alternatively, you could take another route.

var/A = src
src = null
del(A)
return 0


One the proc's src is set to null, it should keep running when the object is deleted.
