Weidu's deletes

[temnix]

Weidu's code for removing actors and other elements in an area seems to update references during the same operation, throwing off the order. If I write

LPF fj_are_structure INT_VAR fj_delete_mode = 0 STR_VAR fj_structure_type = ~actor~ END
LPF fj_are_structure INT_VAR fj_delete_mode = 1 STR_VAR fj_structure_type = ~actor~ END

I end up deleting not actors number 0 and 1, but 0 and 2. It's like after the first delete Weidu updates the order of actors, and the one who used to be number 2 moves up a line. To get the right features I must use

LPF fj_are_structure INT_VAR fj_delete_mode = 1 STR_VAR fj_structure_type = ~actor~ END
LPF fj_are_structure INT_VAR fj_delete_mode = 0 STR_VAR fj_structure_type = ~actor~ END

Discuss.

It updates the structure as soon as it's done changing it. Which sounds to me like expected behavior from a function

I.e. I'm quite sure you can also achieve the same result with:

LPF fj_are_structure INT_VAR fj_delete_mode = 0 STR_VAR fj_structure_type = ~actor~ END
LPF fj_are_structure INT_VAR fj_delete_mode = 0 STR_VAR fj_structure_type = ~actor~ END

It does kinda complicates things when you want to delete multiple objects, though, that is true.
