New page

{{LuaApi|group=WorldObject}}
Stops a window from following a world object.

<pre>
DetachWindowFromWorldObject(windowName, worldObjectId)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;windowName : <code>string</code> – Name of the attached window.
;worldObjectId : <code>number</code> – ID of the world object it was attached to.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* Removes the window from the object's list of attached windows (see [[API:AttachWindowToWorldObject|AttachWindowToWorldObject]]). When the last window is removed, the object's entry is removed too.
* If the window is not attached to that object, nothing happens.
* The window keeps its last position and showing state. It is not hidden or destroyed.
* The error message for a missing window names the function <code>DetachWindowToWorldObject</code>, with "To" instead of "From".
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'DetachWindowToWorldObject': window %s does not exist</code>

== Example ==
From <code>default/easystem_eventtext/source/system_eventtext.lua</code>:
<pre>
-- Destroy anchor window.
DetachWindowFromWorldObject( self.m_Anchor, self.m_TargetObject )
DestroyWindow( self.m_Anchor )
</pre>
