# OnNPCDestroy

warning

This function was added in omp v1.5.8.3079 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

This callback is called when an NPC is destroyed and removed from the server.

| npcid | The ID of the NPC that was destroyed |

## Examples

```c
public OnNPCDestroy(npcid)
{
    printf("[NPC] NPC %d has been destroyed", npcid);

    // Clear any player tracking this NPC and notify
    for (new playerid = 0; playerid < MAX_PLAYERS; playerid++)
    {
        if (!IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
            continue;

        if (PlayerNPC[playerid] == npcid)
        {
            PlayerNPC[playerid] = INVALID_NPC_ID;
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Your tracked NPC %d has been destroyed", npcid);
        }
        else
        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFF00FF, "NPC %d has been destroyed", npcid);
        }
    }
    return 1;
}

```

## Notes

-   This callback is called immediately before the NPC is removed from the server
