I just want to check that this is an OK way to do it.
I have an actor that uses a translation, set in the default block of the actor.
When the actor dies, I want the translation to be removed so that the actor just uses the native colours of its sprites.
I am using A_SetTranslation(""); on the first frame in the death state sequence. It works. I just want to check that it's OK to do it like that because I couldn't see anything explicit about it in the Wiki.

Re: Remove a translation from an actor ZScript
It is ok, I used this method a lot and it never caused any issues.

Thanks for confirming. When I couldn't find a clear statement saying this was how to do it, I was worried that I might be doing something unsupported that could break at some future point.

Re: Remove a translation from an actor ZScript
Oh, for real? I made a custom translation that just says "0:255=0:255". I didn't realize you could just make it blank and it would reset.
