I discovered this when teleporting a character across surfaces. The old character references are invalid, but calling .destroy() on them returns true.

I would expect it to fail for calling something on an invalid LuaEntity, or at least returning false.

Thanks for the report however that's not what the return value on destroy() means. It will only return false if it failed to destroy a valid entity.

Maybe the API docs need updated to reflect that then?

Because currently they say the following:

Return value
if the entity was actually destroyed.
