Deleting an event from the game map using RGSS

[Phanixis]

I have an interesting problem. I have managed to add events through RGSS using the following code

ev = RPG::Event.new(x, y)

    ev.id = $game_map.events.size + 1

    ev.pages = []

 

    # Create a game event object using map id and ev value 

    event =  Game_Event.new($game_map.map_id, ev)

    event.through = false

 

    # Set the event at ev.id to our event (include it in map)

    $game_map.events[ev.id] = event

    @index = ev.id        

    #$event_instance[ev.id] = event

    #$game_map.map.events.keys.push(@index)

    $game_map.map.events[@index] = ev

    #print $game_map.events

 

    # Map needs to be redrawn because a new event was added

    $game_map.need_refresh = true

    $scene.spriteset.add_additional_sprites

Now I wish to do the opposite and remove events from the game map using RGSS. I have taken the straightforward approach and used the line $game_map.events.delete(index). This remove the event but not the corresponding sprite. I suppose I could set the event sprite to a blank before erasing the event, but is their a more thorough way to remove the event sprite?

Thanks for the help.

[rgss]e = $game_map.events.delete(1)
e.erase unless e.nil?
