How to delete a class object with a function

Question

So I'm writing a game in python 3 where the enemies are class objects. When an enemy dies I have no more use for the object so to remove it from play I want to delete it. I wrote a function that checks the hp of each enemy but how do I actually delete the object?

I've attached an example that DOESN'T work. What should I be doing instead?

Answer 1

you have to define destructor for class enemy
consider this code snippet,
class enemy:
#your other functions......
def __del__(self):
#del calls for other member objects of
# enemy if any

#you will delete object of type enemy by

del objOfTypeEnemy

Answer 4

Thank you for teaching me something new. After reading about destructors and garbage collection I've decided that I asked the wrong question and that I don't really know what I want to do yet lol.

However, I think I can use destructor functions to figure out what I want to ask so thank you!
