For deleting objects called %obj:
Code:
%obj.getGroup().remove(%obj);
%obj.delete();

If you know the object is in MissionGroup (because you added it there):
Code:
MissionGroup.remove(%obj);
%obj.delete();

I can post some code for finding interiors you've created (by searching MissionGroup), if you don't want to use variables to keep track of them.

It's probable that if this code is called from a method of the object (for example, if you're removing a trigger in its onTrigger method), the code will not work properly. There's a fairly simple fix for this, which I can post.

110% of coding is hyperbole.

loading interiors in the middle of the game would probably cause a bit of lag.

instead, load them all, keep the interiors you aren't using out of visible range, set them to move to visible range when necessary

Damn, I don't fully understand how marble blast works, but I do some, now I know that the game can remove any powerups the player has, form what I found this is:
Code:
%this.player.setPowerUp(%this.checkPoint.powerUp,true);

Since this is called by GameConnection (from what I know, atleast) %this = GameConnection,
I've also found that GameConnection is the same as %user.client
But I need to abled to call setPowerUp without any of those variable, I need to know their full name, eg I need to be abled to $Game.client.player.setPowerUp(...) or something like that.
Anyone help me out?

localclientconnection.player.setpowerup();

gameconnections represent the clients connected to the server

since MP is horrible with MBG, you'll probably only be using localclientconnection, which is "your" gameconnection

response to below: you learn things as you go, and this is one of them
