How can I make it so that when I have lit four special candles something will happen(In my case a monster despawning)?

You'll want to set up a global or local variable and set it to 0. When you light a candle, +1 to the variable. When the variable equals 4, make the active monster entity set to false.

Ah, thank you for your help and quick response Smile

Uhm... I've been trying to get it to work, but I don't entirely understand variables. What do I have to do to make the candles add one to the variable, and how do I make it register it when it reaches 4?

You would use the SetEntityCallbackFunc function to set a callback on the candles, and if "OnIgnite", then add 1 to the local (or global) variable.
