Format

Del()

When

Called when the world is shutdown.

Default action

Shutdown the world.

When the world is destroyed, only the Del() proc of the world object is called automatically. If you want to delete any other objects, you must do so from within world/Del(). Once this procedure returns, any other procedures which may still be executing are immediately aborted and all objects are silently destroyed.

To prevent accidental hangs during world/Del() from preventing shutdown, a timeout is applied to any sleeping operations such as sleep, world.Export(), and so on. If the total time slept exceeds the timeout, world/Del() is aborted. Currently, this timeout is set at 30 seconds.
