How can i delete an object on the HUD?

Say, if there's a GM thing that only GMs can use, what if i strip someone of their 'Temp' powers, how can i delete their HUD?

for( (whatever you are looking for) in X.client.screen)
   Either del(item) or X.client.screen -= Item

GM.dm:113:error:O:undefined type: O
GM.dm:114:error:O:undefined type: O
GM.dm:115:error:O:undefined type: O
GM.dm:113:O :warning: variable defined but not used


That's what happened. No, the indentation isn't inconsistent, and i've named the object "O".

1) This isn't a BB Forum, use <DM></DM> tags
2) It would be extremely helpful if you showed the snippet you used. We're not psychic y'know.

Depends on how your HUD is put together.

If it's with client.images, you'll need to have some kind of reference variables established to remove the appropriate elements - if not, you've little choice but to redraw everything in there from scratch, this time without the GM elements.

If it's with client.screen, you'll want to do as GhostAnime suggested: use a for list to go through each object in client.screen and remove the ones that offend.

If it's with special skin controls (e.g. the hud might be a special pane only visible to GMs) then you'll want to make sure that only the appropriate skin calls are run.
