Destroying placeables immediately

Is there any way to make a placeable disappear immediately? DestroyObject has a considerable delay, and the JumpToLocation/JumpToObject functions don't seem to work on placeables, so the workaround I had in mind is not possible (teleporting the placeable somewhere far away and then destroying it). Any ideas?

    Perhaps CutSceneInvisibility and then destroy the placeable?

    Doesn't work either. =(

    I think the problem is related to the type of placeable I'm using: one of the new "Light" placeables under Visual Effects. As they don't have a physical body (just the light effect attached to nothing), I guess that's why Invisibility won't work.

    Did you try RecomputeStaticLighting() since it's a light source you are removing?

    Worth trying - CutSceneInvisibility works for regular placeables.

    Something worked! I first called SetPlaceableIllumination as FALSE for the placeable and then RecomputeStaticLighting and DestroyObject. That did the trick. Thanks everybody!
