OK, just to clarify using a .Remove() method works fine and I should have realized this because it was working for everything in my game besides my particles. What happened was that I have a mold system which copies textures or entities. In B3D I was able to return the handle to a texture, a model, or a CopyEntity() from a single function since they were represented by integer handles. However, in Max I'm unable to return CopyEntity() from the same function so I must return the model handle and then CopyEntity() on the CopyMold() call.

So something like this in the classic TBBType works:

Type bbdynamicParticle Extends TBBType

	Method New()
		Add(dynamicParticle_list)
	End Method
	
	Method Remove()
		FreeEntity( eHandle )
		_link.Remove()
	End Method
