Removing a map note

[Kish]

Why isn't this working?

 

IF
Dead("MaeVar")
Global("KishRemovedMapNote","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
RemoveMapNote([3078.2434],48359)
SetGlobal("KishRemovedMapNote","GLOBAL",1)
END

The variable is getting set, but the map note is staying right where it is. I've confirmed the number of the string and the coordinate location of the note.

This is a bug in the original engine, it was fixed in BG[2]EE.

So if I'm not using Enhanced Edition, getting rid of a map note is simply impossible?

 

Simply writing the new map note over the existing map note results in the new note appearing below the old note, which I remember is what happened in the unmodded game, too, so it's looking distressingly likely.
