void lifespan(int Value){
    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    changeentityproperty(self, "lifespancountdown", Value);
}

If you just want to outright remove an entity on the spot, you kill it.

Note, the version matters - OpenBOR 3.x doesn't have the optional "trigger" flag mentioned, but the kill function is the same otherwise.

It's a good read to understand death vs. kill, but the function is this:

// Instantly remove entity from the game.
killentity(target_entity);

Do you want to have entities to remove themselves on their own? or do you want to remove certain entities at certain time?
