killtarget is a KV in many id Tech 2 and GoldSrc entities. It removes the named entity from play, and deletes its associated edict. This is known as "killtargeting".

In Source, entities are killtargeted by sending them the Kill input. An entity's children can be killed in the same tick by sending the KillHierarchy input instead, otherwise they will be killed on a subsequent tick.

Code:To kill entities via code:

• In GoldSrc, use REMOVE_ENTITY.
• In Source, use UTIL_Remove.

These will kill the entity on the subsequent tick.
