Make an object delete after two minutes?

    CrownsB
        icon='Items.dmi'
        icon_state="Crowns"
        name="Crowns"
        amount=0
        New()
            amount+=round(rand(2,10))
            name="[amount] Crowns"




I've tried using sleep(1200) and it works, but I'm not sure how to use the del() function to make it delete itself. Any help is appreciated!

Eh, it works, yet when I start killing rats, I get massive amounts of messages saying I killed it before it's teleported like the code tells it to be. Should I post all the relevant code of the rats?

What do you mean, rats being teleported?
I thought we were deleting an obj 1200 ticks after it is created.

We are! This is my death_check proc:

    proc/death_check(mob/M as mob)//handles death
        if(src.hp <= 0)
            M <<"You killed [src]!"
            if(src.client)
                src <<"[M] killed you!"
                src.loc = locate(49,266,1)
                src.hp = src.maxhp
                src.canbuild = 0
            else
//              var/YIN=rand(1,10)
                var/BYIN=rand(25,100)
                if(src.GOOGLEPLEX==0)
                    new /Items/CrownsB(src.loc)
                src.loc=locate(0,0,0)
                if(ismob(M))
                    if(src.GOOGLEPLEX==1)
                        M.crowns+=BYIN
                        M.contents+=new/Items/Frog_Head
                        M<<"Congratulations! You got the Frog Head from the Evil Frog!!"
                        world<<"<b>[M] has killed the Evil Frog!</b>"
                        usr << "You feel quesy as you are teleported to the spawn area."
                        M.loc = locate(49,266,1)
                        usr.hp=usr.maxhp
//                  else
//                      new /Items/CrownsB(src.loc)
                    sleep(1200)
                    src.loc=locate(src.sx,src.sy,src.sz)
                    src.hp=src.maxhp


As you can see, when the mob is 'killed' it spawns a CrownsB. I believe the sleep(12) then del(src) is interferring with the timing in which the mob teleports.
