Destroy all actors of the same kind

[Muhahahahaaa]

hi there

is there a way to destroy all other actors of one kind at the creation of one actor of the same kind?
i wanna have only 1 pickup text at once. i would like to send a actor msg to all actors of the same kind but there seem to be no data only solution to this.

Apparently there is some way to cap the number of actor instance that can exist at any given time in the data editor.

You can definatly do this via script by destroying all previous actor instances of a certain type and then creating a new one where you want.

having a cap of the same actor is easy but to have a cap of the same class of actors is hard. do you know how to do it?
currently i add a ::global.Text1 , ...Text2 ... reference to all text actors. then i added a makro that destroys all actors :global.Text1 ... , it works fine but i dunno if this affects performance and i have to add every text to the makro ( annoying somehow).

If you want to display text in certain situations, script it instead of creating some mega complex actor system.

the problem is that actors have some funky events which the trigger system doesn't have. i love triggering (no joke) but events like pre.selecting do not exist there.
