npc_destroy

npc_destroy is a console command available in all Source games. The npc_destroy console command is a debugging tool that destroys NPCs. Destroyed NPCs are silently removed, so outputs such as "OnDamaged" and "OnDeath" are not fired, nor are ragdolls created. Destroyed NPCs carrying weapons will drop the weapon before removing themselves.

This command flags the NPC with a note to destroy itself, so if AI is not running (due to the ai_disable command), the command will be ignored.

Note:The game must be in Developer mode for this command to work properly.
